Missing DataBase Login information for deployed VS2008 w/Crystal Report

Question

I'm creating a Windows Form application using VS2008 Pro and the basic Crystal Reports (included).</br></br>
I've successfully added a crystalreportviewer control and a crystal report (.rpt) to my form. I've written the following code in the code behind to programmatically load/bind the report to the viewer. Everything works fine on my development machine (or any machine that has Visual Studio installed). Where I'm encountering problems is when I deploy the application to a machine that does not have VS installed (I have downloaded and installed the "Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 Redistributable Package" for the appropriate processor type on this non development machine) that I'm getting an error . It prompts for "DataBase Login". The ServerName, LoginID and Password are all there, but the "DataBase" field is empty and disable for user input.</br></br>
Why is the DataBase information missing? How can I solve this problem?</br></br>
(On a side note, I vaguely remember a property for enabling/disabling the prompting of the database login. I can't remember where this was again to double check if that is the culprit. But I'm pretty sure that I did mark it as to not prompt, since it's supplied in the code behind. Plus it doesn't prompt on the development machines. Only on the non-development machines).</br></br>
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.</br></br>
The code executed in the PageLoad event of the form.</br></br>
this.crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();</br>
            ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();</br></br>
            #region Load Parameters</br></br>
            ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();</br></br>
            for (int i = 0; i < _parameterName.Length; i++)</br>
            {</br>
                ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField();</br>
                paramField.ParameterFieldName = _parameterName<i>;</br>
                ParameterDiscreteValue discreteVal = new ParameterDiscreteValue();</br>
                discreteVal.Value = _parameterValues<i>;</br>
                paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal);</br>
                paramFields.Add(paramField);</br>
            }</br></br>
            crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;</br></br>
            #endregion</br></br>
            #region Load Report</br></br>
            string reportUrl = "";</br></br>
            string exePath = Application.ExecutablePath.ToString();</br>
            exePath = exePath.Remove(exePath.Length - 18, 18);</br>
            exePath += _reportName + ".rpt";</br>
            reportUrl = exePath;</br>
            reportDocument.Load(reportUrl);</br>
           #endregion</br></br>
           reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon("myUserName", "myPassword", "myServer", "myDataBase");</br></br>
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
</br></br>

HI. Ludek,
Thanks for the tips. I tried both, but the problem presists.
On a side note, I did get my hands on yet another "non-development machine". This one ran with Window's Vista appeared to work (even with my original code).
The "non-development machines" that I've tested on are Windows 7 and Window XP machines. On these machines, when I commented out the reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon line, when I try to load the report, it still prompts for the Database Logon information, however, it also has the "Database name" empty and disabled.
Since it worked on a non-development machine with Win Vista. I don't think there is a problem with references or the Crystal runtime packages.
As far as permission for the report to contact the database, I'm guessing there isn't a problem there either because the application does successfully connect to the database.
I'm connecting to a SQL2005 database and using the SQL Native connection.
On a side note: as for the enabling prompting, I just remembered that it was an option available when using Crystal Reports with a web project. Thus I couldn't find it here with a Window's Form project.
