    This problem is caused when 5 connections simultaneously, to solve you need buy a ilimited connection license.

    I solve using a exportation to PDF:

    ReportDocument rep = new ReportDocument();
    rep.Load(Server.MapPath(
    @"test.rpt"));
    rep.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, true, "Documento PDF");

    Another solution is use ActiveReport, http://www.datadynamics.com/

    Yes, you can.
    You can either create a setup project to deploy your web application onto the web server machine or you can just grab the CRRedist.msi file which is located in
    \Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports folder and install it on your web server machine.

    Please note on your web server machine make sure .NET Framework 2.0 and MDAC 2.8 is already installed on it.

    Hope this helps,

    Thank you, just what I needed.
    But one problem lead to an other...
    On the server, the report works fine for 2 or 3 times then the aspx page hang, it seems to wait for something.  No error messages. It works fine on the development machine. 

    I will do some testing an come back with more details.

    Have a good day.
