Problem
I have created multiple reports in my application and have everything working correctly with the reports showing the correct info on my computer so I made an exe and packaged the product. I install it on other computers on my network and they have no problems bring up the reports.
I install it on computers in another building at another office (not linked by network) on computers that are fresh from the factory with the SQL connectivity tools on them and they have errors. The database is the same because I do a restore of a backup from my computer. On one report it gives the error that text does not seem to be part of the formula. On another report, it says something about a currency or numeric field being required here.
Both of the errors have Crystal Reports in the title of the error message window so I know the errors are coming from Crystal. I don't understand how one computer can run the reports fine and the other ones cannot. I assume it has something to do with formula fields but can't figure out anything more than that.

Please Help

Thanks in advance.

It may be that you are using formula functions that require additional dll's. If you can post the formulas for the fields that are causing the problem we can tell you better what they are. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

I am using the + for string concatenation, the ToText to change a numeric value to a string to use in string concatenation and I am using the Picture function. Do any of these require a separate Dll
 
Thank you for your help. I have found the required dlls in the runtime.hlp file.
