HELP: Crystal Report 8 with Acces 2003

[paulpeeters]

Am I missing something?

I am trying to run a crystal 8 report, wich is feeded from a access 2003 database, this is done trough a vb 5 - program. It works all right on my computer (win 98) where Crystal Report 8 is installed.

But it doesn't work on my Win XP - computer (Here i don't want to install Crystal Report 8, because it has to run on other machines too), i am trying to install the needed files to make this work. So far I installed the following files:

[Files]
File1=1,,CRVIEWER.DL_,CRVIEWER.DLL,$(WinSysPath),$(DLLSelfRegister),$(Shared),1/28/2000 16:19:24,509328,8.0.0.371,"","",""
File2=1,,CRAXDRT.DL_,CRAXDRT.DLL,$(WinSysPath),$(DLLSelfRegister),$(Shared),1/28/2000 15:16:48,5550080,8.0.0.371,"","",""
File3=1,,IMPLODE.DL_,IMPLODE.DLL,$(WinSysPath),,$(Shared),11/18/1996 1:00:00,18944,1.0.0.1,"","",""
File4=1,,CRPAIG80.DL_,CRPAIG80.DLL,$(WinSysPath),,$(Shared),1/11/2000 7:09:56,618496,8.0.0.11,"","",""
File5=1,,sscsdk80.dl_,sscsdk80.dll,$(WinSysPath),,$(Shared),12/10/1999 15:24:30,974848,2.2.0.2,"","",""
File6=1,,P2SMON.DL_,P2SMON.DLL,$(WinSysPath),,$(Shared),12/15/1999 7:17:52,147456,8.0.0.15,"","",""

The strange thing is that it works allright when i use a report based , on a MS access 97 database. But when I use a report, based on a MS Access 2003 database, i get an error: "Unrecognized database format" , also i'm prompted for a password.

Does anybody know this problem?

you need to redesign the report with Access 2003

Dear Madhi

thanks for your reply, but i don't know what you exactly mean.

the report is designed with Crystal Report 8, in it there is a database connection with an MS Access 2003 mdb. As I said , this works on my win89 machine (with full crystal report on it), but not on my WinXp machine (with only the runtime files from crystal report on it.

You say that I have to redesign my report, but i'm sorry to say that I can't quit follow you there, could you be more specific?

thanks, paul

[Madhi]

Did you use Setup to install the application there?
If so, you need to add all the required dlls

[paulpeeters]

I think that i did that at first, but to be absolutely shure, i wil do that again.

That was the problem, i didn't install all the required dll's. Now i have to sort out, wich dll was missing precisely . I wil post it here, as soon as i find out,

thanks
