Runtime libraries and Novell

[CInman]

We have a package that runs Crystal Reports via the Crystal runtime libraries (Crystal v7) to access MS-Access databases, and this has worked fine for an eternity. However, recently we have someone who uses Novell networking and the reports will no longer run - UNLESS the report and the database are local on the PC and they're not logged into Novell. Does anyone have any ideas or guidelines of things to check/verify when trying to run Crystal reports on a Novell network?

I don't wnat to ask a silly question, but do they have NDS right to the runtime app and/or the data?

A fair question - but it seems our s/w Client which accesses the Access d/b works okay, its just when they run the Crystal reports (.rpt) from within our s/w Client (which I believe uses the Crystal runtime libraries) that some bizarre errors occur. The errors suggest either the d/b or the tables within it are innaccessible. Strange!
