unable to open database

[tonyvit]

Crystal 7 -- calling a report from an active server page. I can open the report and manually refresh the data from the web server, but when I call the report from the page, I get an error message saying that crystal was unable to open the database. teh report is pointing to the correct location. It is an Access database, and I am using the ActiveX Smart Viewer to view the report.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the Browser have permission to read the folder where the database is?

Yes. The browser can access the folder in which the database resides. It's not complicated. I have two folders, one for the pages and database, and one for the reports. The simplicity of it is why it confuses me that I am getting any error at all. It is set up correctly. Could it be anything on the web server itself -- incomplete installation, etc?

If the report is saved with data does it work? If so, this would point to a problem between the report and the database.

What was the exact error? You may be able to research this on the seagate knowledge base (see the FAQ) Ken Hamady
