Answer 1

Ismael, a few suggestions;
1) Remeber that Oracle is case sensitive, so ensure that is in order.
2) Have a look at the following threads and see if they help:

3) As a test, comment out the logon code, let the report prompt and fill in the logon parameters when prompted. Does that work?
4) You do not mention if this is a web or a win app. If this is a web app, try a simple win app. If the win app works, you are looking at permissions issue
5) Ensure that you have SP 0 for CR 2008 applied. SP 0 is here:

6) When you say he report works inthe designer, is this designer on the same Vista box as where you get the runtime error?
