Hi All,
I'm hoping someone will know the answer to this because its been driving me crazy for days.
I've built my first Crystal Report in VS 2005 and attached it to a WebForm using a ReportViewer control. Its working fine on my development pc but the page won't load on the webserver once deployed.
Heres the code from the code behind page:
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath("myReport.rpt")
WebReport = New ReportDocument
WebReport.Load(reportPath)
I've installed the Crystal redistributables from the merge modules on businessobjects.com on the server and I've checked the access permissions on the files and that looks ok too.
Any ideas Please!
Thanks
Keith
BTW.... heres the error message:
Error "The system cannot find the path specified" on ASP .NET 2.0 webform based report.

yes i WEBSERVERNAME/ASPNET account is even on administrators group.
i also tried using the merge module and followed the instructions but it is giving me an error of "global.asax.vb" not found.
i am using the vs2005 asp.net web application project... not the asp.net web site project.

After a loooooong struggle I managed to solve the problem.
I also upgraded from 2003 with crystal 11 to 2005 without crystal 11 (bugger).
So now its Crystal 10 with asp.net 2005 (since crystal 11 sp1 is not compatible, sp2 i presume its a one gig download or so it seems, but free).
The code I am using is as follows:
Dim rptDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocumentrptDocument.Load(Server.MapPath(
"cryLetterhead.rpt"))CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDocument
this is not the only thing that is required.....
If you have sql 2005 installed you will need to configure you app to be able to connect to the database and create its user roles etc. So make sure that in your machine.config (do a search but make sure its for framework 2.0 not 1.1) file has the following lines:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
SERVERNAME = YOUR SERVERNAME
Initial Catalog MUST be aspnetdb
Then from Visual Studio (in the project you are working on), check your solution explorer, on the top right is a icon which says "ASP.Net Configuration" when you hover your mouse over it. Open it. On the home page, click on security.
There should be three options: Users, Roles, Access Rules. If you don't see them, it means the connection to the Database has not been successfull.
Under Access Rules click on Create Access Rules. Now on the left, select the folder where the report is stored in and create a rule for "all users", and "anonymous users" with "Allow" Permission. That worked for me.
I tried it on the root directory of my web page but it did not work. I am using a local intranet with not such a hectic security issue, so "all users" and anonymous users" is sufficient. You might consider setting up users etc in a more secure network.
Hope this was usefull

ok i'm having the same problem as the above. i'm using a server.mappath("filename.rpt") but it is still not working...
alternatively, i've also done the crystal reports deployment thru merge module but it produced an error that it cannot find the global.asax when i tried to view the deployed web project.
need help. thanks.
