hello, well i am using visual studio 10 with crystal reports for visual studio 2008. Is that a conflict?

Moved to .NET SDK forum.

Correct, CR for VS 2010 is the only runtime supported in VS 2010. Look though this forum, lots of links to download it update your project.

hello again, I went and download the files for visual basic 10 but still get the erro 'invalid report file path'. What can I do to correct this error?

Well considering there is nothing in your replies to even suggest something to try, all we know is you are using VB and you have an invalid report path error, I suggest you download one of the samples from this WIKI page and see if it still fails:

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications

Then when there is a specific error and you can debug it in a specific function someone may have a suggestion.

All I can suggest at this time from the subject line is to verify the report path is correct and your app does have access to it where ever it may be...

Good luck

hello, here is a copy of my program that I am using, maybe this might help you out if I am missing or have something wrong. Thank you.

Dim param1Fields As New ParameterFields

Dim param1Field As ParameterField

Dim param1Range As New ParameterDiscreteValue

param1Field.ParameterFieldname = "record"

param1Range.Value = TextBox1.Text

param1Field.CurrentValues.Add(param1Range)

param1Fields.Add(param1Field)

CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = param1Fields

CrystalReportView1.ReportSource = "S:\etdc\James\CrystalReport1.rpt"

CrystalReportView1.Visible = True

The error I am getting in the follow code for invalid report file path is "CrystalReportView1.ReportSource = "S:\edtc\James\CrystalReport1.rpt"

Hello,

Try this, and there are various ways to declare the Report object:

Dim boReportDocument As New ReportDocument

FileName = "S:\etdc\James\CrystalReport1.rpt"

boReportDocument.Load(.FileName, CrystalDecisions.Shared.OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy)

then your code....

then set the viewer to to boReportDocument:

CrystalReportView1.ReportSource = boReportDocument

Thank you

okay thanks I tried your code but got error "FileName is not declared". It may be inaccessible due to its protection level. How can I fix this error. Sorry I kind new at this reports. Thank you for your help and response.

Here's about as basic as you can get:

Imports CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc

Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim rpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument

Dim rptClientDoc As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument

rpt.Load("c:\reports\world sales report.rpt")

CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport()

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptClientDoc

End Sub

End Class

hello again, well thank you for your suggestions, So if I need to put my application on another user pc do I need to install crystal reports or what do I need to do?

Go to: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet

Bottom of the page has the distribution packages for CR for VS 2010. Simply create a Distribution Project and add 32 or 64 bit package.

If you search in this forum and in kbase you'll find lots of documentation and posts on how to...

This error sounds like you have either developed and application or you are using a third party application.

If you wrote the app then debug the error, if a third party wrote the app then you need to give them a call to help you debug the problem.

On a side note, try deleting all of your temp files in your \temp folder. Close EVERYTHING you can before deleting the temp files and ignore the files you can't delete.
