reports reside on another server and I get the "Load report failed" error

Hi all. I have been working on this for couple of days now. I have a program that’s sole purpose is to be a dynamic report viewer. I have decided that this would be a good project to move to vs 2005 from vs6 c++ and make it a web app. So I began from scratch and have finished most of it, however I have ran into a problem with the crystal viewer. The reports reside on various servers and moving them is not an option. I have got some of them to work on the local machine, but the second I move them to a server I get the "Load report failed" error. The share permissions for the folder they reside in are set to everyone full control to try to eliminate the problem but no luck.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

    Hello,

    Yes it would be a permissions issue.  The ASP.NET account does not have permissions (by default) to network resources.

    It would be very similar to the PrintToPrinter section of this whitepaper:

    And the solution would need to be similar.

    Ok I have come up with a temporary solution to my problem. I have added
    <identity impersonate="true" />
    to the web config

    this is obously a permissions issue but im not sure where the problem is.
    any thoughts
