External File Dependency?

[tait]

I'm supporting a Crystal Report that doesn't run properly unless there is an unrelated directory present.

If the directory isn't present when I try to run the Crystal, I get the following error:
Exception Code=c0000005; access violation (the memory at 0x0000004c could not be written)

I've been migrating this directory from server to server around for 2 years now just to keep this report running. It does nothing else that I need, and I'd love to get rid of it.

I can't determine why this Crystal needs this directory or its contents. I've looked through the field formulas without any luck.

I don't even know how you would make a Crystal reference an external file or directory.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
