Crystal Report VB.net Application - Client PC Issues

[#1]

Hi,

I created my second Crystal Reports application and I am having issues getting it to work on a clients PC. Based on what I learned from my first application, I know that I needed to install the runtime on the clients PC, which I did. When I run the app, nothing happens. No exception is thrown or anything. I see the mouse wait cursor come up (the spinning windows cursor) for about 5 seconds and then nothing happens. The odd thing is that I am able to run the code from my PC just fine when I use the msi setup file I created. I have no idea where to look to figure this out... Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Kretman

Hi Chris,

FYI - MS Excel as a data source should have an ODBC connection to it, to run in 64 bit mode you would need the 64 bit Excel dll's, which you can get from 64 bit version of Microsoft Office.

Converting to a real DB is even better...

Thanks again
