Win2000 not recognising saved data when previewing report

[andrewconcord]

My application produces the report on the server, and then exports it to the rpt format, with the data saved.

I then copy the report to the client machine where I preview it with crystl32.ocx.

This has been working perfectly on all versions of windows, I'm now trying to replace the crystl32.ocx with crviewer.dll. I use the same approach, and it works 100% on my WinXP machine, however no matter what I do Windows2000 never recognises the saved data.

report.hasSavedData always equals false, even though the very same report (with data) can be previewed on a WinXP machine. If I go ahead and try an preview the report on the Win2000 machine anyway I just get errors as the database is not visible from the client machines.

I don't know what else to try, other than going back to the crystl32.ocx for Win2000 previewing.

I have tested this issue on a Windows98 machine with the same results. That is, the crviewer.dll doesn't appear to recognise the saved data on either of the Win98 or Win2000 machines, while it's fine on WinXP.

The strange thing is that the Win2000 machine has a full Crystal 8.5 install on it, while the WinXP machine doesn't.
