I have an application using CRW 6.0. All the reports in the application worked fine until I distributed a new version of the software. Now, some of the machines will get this odd negative error number, -196344, when running some of the reports. All of the required crystal reports files seem to be in order on the machines in question. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your input. [sig][/sig]
 
Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention. This error only occurs on machines that had a pre-existing version of the software. Any installs on "virgin" machines work fine. [sig][/sig]
 
Preexisting version of which software, VB or Crystal or both? What versions were the preexisting software?

Haven't seen this specific behavior but it seems pretty clear that something of the old software is hanging around.

Are you sure that all of the new DLLs have been updated and re-registered, including their dependant files? [sig]<p>Ken Hamady<br><a href=mailto:ken@kenhamady.com>ken@kenhamady.com</a><br><a href= Reports Taining by Ken Hamady</a><br>[/sig]
