Function Sequence Error -- After upgrading to Crystal Reports 2008

Question

Since we intergrated Crystal 2008 in our application, We are having the ODBC DRIVER ERROR "S1010, Function Sequence Error"
The following steps reproduces the error.
I open any crystal report(using my application) and close it.
And then I try to close another dialog in my application.
The destructor of that dialog has the DELETE FROM TMPRPT WHERE  etc... But actually the TMPRPT table is empty.
But This Scenario in general, does not produce any error. Only after I open and close Crystal report, and when the TMPRPT table doesn't have any records, executing the above DELETE sql throws CDBException, Funciton Sequence Error.
Is it because of the upgrade/mismatch of dlls? Can any one help how to work around this?
Thanks.

Hi Don,
I would like to thank you for your helpful advice. your tips for odbc tracing really works.
Just to simplify things, I have created a simple mfc dialog based application that opens a connection using CDatabase in the initdialog and closes the connection in the destructor(because that is how we do in our main large application). On the dialog i put a "Print" button and when i click it, I open a crystalreportform and fill the connectioninfo structure and then call SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument). on the Form_closed function, I close database connections  and close the report document.
When I come back to mfc application I execute a Delete from table where 1 =0, basically any delete/update that return empty recordset and it throws function sequence error.
BOOL CCrystalDemoDlgDlg::OnInitDialog()
     CDialog::OnInitDialog();
     ConnectDatabase() ;
     return TRUE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control
BOOL CCrystalDemoDlgDlg::ConnectDatabase()
     if ( m_Database.IsOpen() )
          m_Database.Close();
     // Process database open request.
     CString szConnection("DSN=CRYSTALTEST32;UID=DBA;PWD=picture");
                 !m_Database.OpenEx( szConnection, CDatabase::noOdbcDialog ) )
     return TRUE;
BOOL CCrystalDemoDlgDlg::bExecuteSQL( CString SqlString )
                if(m_Database.IsOpen())
     m_Database.ExecuteSQL( (LPCTSTR)SqlString );
     return TRUE;
void CCrystalDemoDlgDlg::OnBnClickedBtnPrint()
     TRY
          bExecuteSQL(_T("DELETE FROM TMPRPT WHERE 1=0"));
          CrystalReportsForm ^ CRForm = gcnew CrystalReportsForm(gcnew System::String("ActvSumm1.rpt"));
          CRForm->ShowDialog();
          //CRForm->RunCrystalReports();
          delete CRForm;
          CRForm = nullptr;
          bExecuteSQL(_T("DELETE FROM TMPRPT WHERE 1=0"));
     CATCH(CDBException, e)
          AfxMessageBox( e->m_strError );
          return ;
     END_CATCH     
the following is the code in crystalreports library
namespace CR2008Library
    public partial class CrystalReportsForm : Form
        private ReportDocument _reportDocument;
        private string _reportFile = "C:\\Nomadic\\Report\\";
        public CrystalReportsForm(string reportFile)
            InitializeComponent();
                 _reportDocument = CreateReportDocument(reportFile);
        private ReportDocument CreateReportDocument(string reportFile)
            ReportDocument newDocument = new ReportDocument();
            _reportFile += reportFile;
            newDocument.Load(_reportFile);
            return newDocument;
        public void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "CRYSTALTEST";
            connectionInfo.UserID = "DBA";
            connectionInfo.Password = "picture";
            connectionInfo.ServerName = "CRYSTALTEST32";
            SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, _reportDocument);
            crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = _reportDocument;
        private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
            Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
                TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
        public void CrystalReportForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            ConfigureCrystalReports();
        private void CrystalReportsForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
            DisposeCR();
        private void DisposeCR()
            // Clean up by closing and disposing of the ReportDocument object
            if (_reportDocument != null)
                if (_reportDocument.Database.Tables.Count > 0)
                    Tables tables = _reportDocument.Database.Tables;
                    foreach (Table table in tables)
                        table.Dispose();
                _reportDocument.Database.Dispose();
                _reportDocument.Close();
                _reportDocument.Dispose();
            _reportDocument = null;
I have the log file which doesn't show any error in crystalreports library. I am giving some of the log file for your reference to see what's happening while exiting from crystal and executing the problem sql

I know that my post is too long, but i would like to give enough information for you to see what's happening. I use visual studio 2008 with crystal library 2008.
Thanks,
