I have just recently upgraded from Crystal Reports 8.5 to XI. When I create a new report in XI and try to run it in my application I'm getting "Error 20525 Can't load report". The information that I have found said that there maybe multiple crpe32.dll and to use only the current one. The application is running out of Terminal Services so I'm not sure which one it's using, whether it's the one on the PC that the report was created on or the Terminal Server which is running the report. I have tried copying the newer one to the server in the WINNT/system32 folder but than I get a crystl32.ocx error, which I believe is being caused by the fact that XI is no longer using OCX. Has anyone had this problem and found the resolution to it?

Thank you. I was pretty sure that was going to be the answer but needed to know for sure. At least now I have a direction to turn.

Thanks

The application can only work with reports that are version 8.5. You should contact the application vendor, and see if they have an updated version that will work with version XI.

I didn't write the application, it was bought but is using Crystal Reports. There is a feature in the application that allows you to create your own custom reports and with the naming schema it will run the custom report. Is this still my problem and if so, is the problem more on the application end rather than the report end?

The OCX control (crystl32.ocx) is quite outdated, it has not been updated since version 6.0 of Crystal Reports, and is not included in version 9 or later. We have another development tool which has been updated, and has many more properties than the OCX. It is called the Report Designer Component (RDC).
