Loading ReportDocument from InfoObject

Question

I'm trying to load a Crystal report from BusinessObjects into a viewer (either web or winforms).  This report is a previously scheduled instance that was archived out of BusinessObjects with its data to a file.  In order to get it through our firewall to a web viewer, we're republishing the report instance to an Archive folder in BusinessObjects.  When re-publishing the instance, I set the following parameters:
Report newRpt = (Report)infoObj;
newRpt.Files.Add(rptFile);
newRpt.Properties.Add("SI_PARENTID", folderID);
newRpt.KeepSavedData = true;
newRpt.NeedsLogon = false;
newRpt.EnableThumbnail = false;
newRpt.Title = rptTitle;
//for each ReportLogon...
  newRpt.ReportLogons<i>.PromptOnDemandViewing = false;
Publishing works with no problems.  We've tried viewing two ways - using the code in the Client Desktop tutorial, the report starts trying to refresh the data which we DON'T want to happen.  So, we are trying to load the report object into a ReportDocument and view it tat way.  However, when we try to bring the report to to the viewer, we get an Invalid ReportSource error.  To get the report, we query the InfoStore to find the published report. We then load the returned InfoObject to a ReportDocument with the following code ("rpt" is an InfoObject, "esess" is an Enterprise session, and "rptDoc" is a ReportDocument):
rptDoc = new ReportDocument();
rptDoc.Load(rpt, esess);
In the viewer, we're using the following code:
rptViewer.EnterpriseLogon = esess;
rptViewer.ReportSource = rptDoc;
Does anyone have any thoughts on getting this to work?  Thanks!

HI
Hierarchy loading is possible in BW3.5
i think its not possible to load hierarchy in BI 7.0to infoobject attributes from flat files.
And for loading in 3.5 you can refer to blog by Prakash Bangali in BI general.
