XL Reporter Start Up Failed - "Report Initialize" Description (667)

Hi experts,
I use SAP B1 2007 PL34. I'm trying to execute an XL reporter report and I got this message
"An Error Occurred During The Process "Report Initialize". Description(667) metainfo.XML not Found! (Please contact the administrator to fix the repository connection) XL reporter Start Up failed"
Afterwards the report open but had just the headers. I already searched through the forums but I only saw Description (666) errors, How can I resolve this ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
In order to resolve the reported issue, please try the following solution:
1. Please make sure that (a)Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1 and (b) Microsoft® MDAC 2.7 or higher is installed in the machine, where you are running XL reporter if you have both .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 is installed then please refer to note no. 898635.
2. Once the error message popped up, please kill all processes of SBO and XLR, then restart. Try to see if the message still exists.
3. Goto Excel and check if the Macro Settings is correct as per note 853821.
4. Check the authorization of the folder C:Program FilesSAPSAP Business OneAddOnsXLRXLReporter to see if users have right to edit document in that folder.
5. If still you have the same issue, could you please copy a healthy Metainfo.xml from your workstation where the XL reporter is working fine to the workstation where you are facing the issue. After modifying the Database info in the Metainfo.xml file, execute XLR again.
Note: The Metainfo.xml file should be available in the following location :
C:Program FilesSAPSAP Business OneAddOnsXLRXLReporter.
hope it helps,

REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_myhostname failed to start

Hi Everyone,
My name is John and I've a small 10g report configuration issue which I would like to share and, hopefully, some of you might already have come across it and able to assist and guide me through it.
First, I've installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g 10.1.2.0.2 together with Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 and Oracle Forms Developer 10.1.2.0.2 onto a 32bit Window 2000 Professional machine.
I've tried to run the following URL which test for the servlet connectivity and it returns fine with all the valid reports servlet commands page.
http://myhostname:8889/reports/rwservlet
However, as I've tried to run the 'test.rdf' report using the following link:
http://myhostname:8889/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=test.rdf&userid=user/pass@host
And it returns the following error on the browser:
REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_myhostname failed to start.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0
Then I set trace option on in the myhostname.conf file and restart the OC4J instance. And the trace file has the following results:

I've not changed any of the report's related configuration files and the java version of the machine is 1.4.2_06. I do not know whether I need to apply a patch for this particular Developer Suite version or is there something which I've not done in terms of post-installation tasks. Thank you for your time and effort. Any feedback is much appreciated as I've been spending a number of days to solve this problem. Thank you and have a nice day.
Kind Regards,
John

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and here is the output of the rwEng-0.trc file. I could not find anything "interesting" as you mentioned. Please let me know if you find anything missing in there. Also, currently there is only one network printer setup on the machine. Can you please elaborate on the printer bit as I'm unsure of what to troubleshoot. Also, I forgot to inform you that I have a previous version of Developer 2000 Form and Report installed prior to the 10g Developer Suite installation. Does it ring a bell to any other problem? Thank you again for your time and effort. Have a nice day.
Kind Regards,
John

HostXYZ.cacheserver - Crystal Reports Cache Server: Failed to start/stop

Hi,
We are unable to open any of the BO Crystal Reports through our 'Clarity PPM Web Application'.When we logged on to the BO CMC portal in the production environment, In the 'Servers' section, we could see the 'HostXYZ.cacheserver in 'Stopped' state.When we are trying to restart that server, it results in an error "HostXYZ.cacheserver - Crystal Reports Cache Server: Failed to start/stop".Could you please help me how to proceed further?Please let me know, if you need any other information.
Thanks,
Sandeep

WHich version of BO do you use? Go into the CMC navigate to Servers and check the Metrics section of your Central management server. There should be a version number like x.y.z.w there. Can you please post it here?

Stratos

REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_adminserver_ikit_asinst_1 failed to start.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

Hi,
I have installed oracle forms and reports 11gR2 on Windows 7 Professional 64bit (and configured in development mode), the forms are working fine but when i run a report i get this message
REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_adminserver_ikit_asinst_1 failed to start.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

I was trying to add a new destination:
<destination class="oracle.reports.server.DesMail" destype="mail"/>
I couldn't make it work , so I commented my changes.
In fact, I should have gone back to a backup file , as weblogic seemed to have changed the file itself!! (attributes of the xml tags were in different order, and more things ...) but just undoing what I have done did the trick.
This file seems to be quite picky, I left this tag uncommented
</pluginParam>
and the same REP-5226 error happened.

Export from Crystal Reports 2008 viewer fails if run on separate thread

I have a windows desktop application written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2008. I have installed and am trying Crystal Reports 2008 to run a report. Everything seems to work well except that when I preview a report (using the viewer control) and click the export button found in the upper left corner of that control, I get the following message:
Error 5: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process.
I am a little confused on what to do exactly. Is the problem because I am running in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE? It says this exception is only raise if a debugger is attached to the process. No, I tried running it outside the IDE. The exception wasn't generated but the application hung when the button was clicked.
It says the current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. If the report is run on its own thread, is the "current" thread the thread the report is running on or is the main application's UI thread? I don't think I want to set my main application to single thread apartment mode because it is a multi-threaded application (although I really don't know for sure because I am new to multi-threaded programming).
My objective is to allow reports to run asynchronously so that the user can do other things while it is being generated. Here is the code I use to do this:
    ' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim backgroundProcess As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        ' Start a new thread to run this report.
        backgroundProcess = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        Using (backgroundProcess)
            ' Wire the function we want to run to the 'do work' event.
            AddHandler backgroundProcess.DoWork, AddressOf PreviewReportAsynch_Start
            ' Kick off the report asynchronously and return control to the calling process
            backgroundProcess.RunWorkerAsync(sourceDatabase)
        End Using
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynch_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
        ' The source database needed to call preview report was passed as the only argument
        Call PreviewReport(CType(e.Argument, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' Previews the report. From the preview window, the user can print it.
    Public Function PreviewReport(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase) As FunctionEndedResult
        Dim errorBoxTitle As String
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Setup error handling
        errorBoxTitle = "Preview " & Name & " Report"
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.FAILURE
        On Error GoTo PreviewError
        ' Set up the crxReport object
        If InitializeReportProcess(sourceDatabase) <> FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            GoTo PreviewExit
        End If
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = crxReport
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
        ' Save any settings that should persist from one run to the next
        Call SavePersistentSettings()
        ' If we got this far everything is OK.
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS
PreviewExit:
        ' Do any cleanup work
        Call CleanupReportProcess(sourceDatabase)
        Exit Function
PreviewError:
        ' Report error then exit gracefully
        ErrorBox(errorBoxTitle)
        Resume PreviewExit
    End Function
The variable crxReport is of type ReportDocument and the windows form called 'frmPreview' has only 1 control, the crystal reports viewer.
The print button on the viewer works fine. Just the export button is failing. Any ideas?

Hi Trevor.
Thank you for the reply. The report document is create on the main UI thread of my application. The preview form is created and destroyed on the separate thread. For reasons I won't get into, restructuring the code to move all the initialization stuff inside the preview form is not an option (OK, if you a really curious, I don't always preview a report, sometimes I print and/or export it directly which means the preview form isn't used).
What I learned through some other research is that there are some things (like COM calls and evidently some OLE automation stuff) that cannot be run on a thread that uses the MTA threading model.   The export button probably uses some of this technology, thus the message stating that an STA threading model is required. I restructured the code as follows to accomodate this requirement. Here is a sample:
' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Start the preview report function on a new thread
        staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep1)
        staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA)
        staThread.Start(sourceDatabase)
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep1(ByVal sourceDatabase As Object)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Initialize report preview. This includes staging any data and configuring the
        ' crystal report document object for use by the crystal report viewer control.
        If InitializeReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase)) = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            ' Show the report to the user. This must be done on an STA thread so we will
            ' start another of that type. See description of PreviewReportAsynchStep2()
            staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep2)
            staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
            staThread.Start(mcrxReport)
            ' Wait for step 2 to finish. This blocks the current thread, but this thread
            ' isn't the main UI thread and this thread has no UI anymore (the progress
            ' form was closed) so it won't matter that is it blocked.
            staThread.Join()
            ' Save any settings that should persist from one successful run to the next
            Call SavePersistentSettings()
        End If
        ' Release the crystal report
        Call CleanupReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' The preview form must be launched on a thread that use the single-threaded apartment (STA) model.
    ' Threads use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model by default. This is necessary to make the
    ' export and print buttons on the preview form work. They do not work when running on a
    ' thread using MTA.
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep2(ByVal crxInitializedReport As Object)
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report. The preview form contains the crystal reports viewer control.
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = DirectCast(crxInitializedReport, ReportDocument)
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
    End Sub
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
If you see error descriptioon it gives access denied so basically it is because of some access issue.I guess You must be using some domin account for installation make sure it is added as local administrator also instead of using NT Authority network
service as SQL server service account use local system account .
Below link would help
http://serverfault.com/questions/212135/access-is-denied-error-installing-sql-server-2008-on-windows-7
You can also browse to setup.exe file and RK on it and select run as administrator

Crystal Reports with VS2005 - Load Report failed Error....

Post Author: rajeshvijayan
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi,
I am running Crystal Reports viewer on IIS6.0 and windows server 2003, which was installed using the redistributable package that comes along with Visual Studio 2005. We open these reports through a web based application 1 which is run on a different application pool on IIS. We have about 3 to 4 other web applications runing on the same IIS. All the other Web applications are working fine.
This web application 1 has 2 parts - one is the normal data display quiries from the back end SQL server 2005 and the other is the Crystal Reports which also quires data from SQL Server 2005. At times i find that these reports all of them throw an error - Load Report Failed. At the same time the Part 1 of this application does work fine in showing the data that is queried from the database. Moreover at this stage, I dont find any errors in the Event viewer. If i restart this application pool alone, the reports starts working fine again.
I had gone through a few of the news groups and have made all the necessary permission related changes like the TEMP Folder, ASP.NET temporary folder, the folder in which the crystal reports is placed etc but still the same error throws up after some point in time. Wanted to know if there is any special configuration required on the Application pool when it comes to Crystal Reports. We have bout 10 to 15 users using this application for testing and it only throws this error at times and not always.
Looking forward to any kind of solution from your side.
Regards
Rajesh

CA Forum: Deployment
Yes I too have been fighting this problem. I was using a XML Data file and schema file for my u201Cdatabase templateu201D in the report. I would then run my query using the .NET SQLClient then fill the report with my dataset table using the SetDataSource method from the ReportDocument object.
I tried both embedded and runtime loaded reports all worked fine on my development machine but would NOT work on my production server. I use all the server installs, played with user rights, registering DLLu2019s still nothing. I went as far as creating a winform app to fix the problem. I then had exactly the same problem, I was catching the error and it originated from the viewer control in both winform and webforms.
What finally worked for me was to attach to the database using OLE DB instead of XML/schema (xml/xsd) datasource then pasting my SQL Query into the database connection command this gave me the fields to build the report. I actually used the u201CSet Database Locationu201D Dialog in Crystal Reports so I didnu2019t have to redesign my report. This dialog works very weird but I managed to figure it out. I then used an embedded report and all seem to be well. I think there is a problem with the Crystal Reports .NET Server Install and Merge Modules used with .NET with XML files, but I cannot be sure, all I know is this worked for me.
I am concerned that if my database server is moved or renamed my report might break because the server connection is embedded in the report, but for right now it is working. I thought that was the reason for using the xsd file was to eliminate the dependence on a server connection in the report.
Good luck and I hope this helps you fix your problem too. If it does please let me know I have see so many reports of people asking questions about this problem and it seems like most are left hanging.

Crystal reports "Database login failed" when using push method

I have a web application (ASP.NET, .NET v3.5), that pushes data to a CR 2008 report. On two servers one of the three reports returns a "Database login failed" error. I am stumped since there is no login, it's push not pull; in addition the problem is hard to debug since it works fine from my developers workstation. I have "updated" the xsd in that report, reinstalled the app, etc., non of which helped. If anyone has a solution or even ideas I'd appreciate the help.

What about following the troubleshooting steps as described in the blog;
Create an XML file off of your dataset. Make sure this is done just before you set the dataset to the report:
rpt.Load(rptPath)
myDataset.WriteXml(xmlPath, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
rpt.SetDataSource(myDataset)
Copy the above created XML to your development system
Open the problem report in the Crystal Reports designer
In the Desigger, go to the Database menu and select u201CSet Datasource Locationu201D
In the u201CReplace with:u201D pane, expand the u201CCreate New Connectionu201D folder.
Double click the u201CADO .NET (XML)u201D icon
Browse to the location of the XML file you created in step (1)
Click on the path to the XML. The <Update> button should enable
Click on the <Update> button
Typically, either of the following will happen:
You will get a u201CMap Fieldsu201D dialog. This indicates that the XML written off of your dataset does not match what the report is expecting. This may be due to incorrect fields name, incorrect field type, etc. You will now need eliminate the difference.
Incorrect data or no data. There is an issue with your dataset and you need to determine why the data is not present in your dataset. Looking at the XML may be a good place to start.

DPM 2012 R2 install fail - Reporting services "definition contains XML that is not well-formed or the XML is not valid"

Hi Everyone,
I've been battling with this for a while and I'm getting nowhere. I'm attempting to install DPM 2012R2 onto a fresh VM with a local SQL installation. The setup is as follows:
Server OS: 2008R2 SP1
SQL: 2008 R2 standard with SP3(tried SP2 before this)
Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Reporting services installed: Yes(ticked do not configure during the installation)
Enabled reporting servics on port 80 with the default URL
DPM Installation does not throw any errors during the preinstall stage(The server passes all the checks)
Basically, when Installing. I get this error(extract):

Any ideas?
I've managed to get it to this stage. Originally I didn't have encryption keys or a listening port(which I fixed).

Can you try following steps:
If there are SSL certificates on your computer, by default SQL 2008
installation configures HTTPS for reporting websites. When DPM tries to
deploy reports on these websites it may fail if the reporting websites
are not accessible (might be due to invalid/expired certificates). To
workaround this, provided you do not require HTTPS for reporting websites do
the following:
1. Edit C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\SQL\MSRS10.MSDPMV3BETA1EVAL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config
2. Set the SecureConnectionLevel to 0 if the current value is 2 (A value to
2 means secure connection is required)
3. Connect to SQL reporting service configuration manager and connect to the
instance MSDPMV3BETA1EVAL
4. Click on Web Service URL, click advanced and remove SSL identities
5. Repeat the above for Report Manager URL
6. Make sure report manager URL and web service URL are accessible with out
any errors.
6. Restart report server
If that doesn't solve the problem, please try following steps:
1. Open Start-> All programs->SQL server 2008->Configuration Tools->Report
Server Configuration Manager
2. Connect to the instance which the DPM is using to install.
3. Browse Report Manager URL and web service url
4. If report manager URL or web service url throws any error say 500 or 404
fix the error. (Try also replacing machine name with localhost in url)
5. Otherwise delete DPMReports folder (if present) using below instructions
6. Restart reporting services
7. Try DPM setup again.
Deleting DPM reports:
1. Open report manager URL in IE
2. Click show details on right hand side
3. Put a tick against DPMReports folder
4. Click Delete button.

Reporting services keep failing on SCCM 2012 SP1

I have SCCM 2012 SP1 install with SSRS 2012 install on same server 2008 R2 server.
Reporting services keep failing with the following message when trying to START the service from the Reporting Services Configuration Manager Console
System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)
Thx,

Thx, Joe

Good advice Garth, but I have opened over 5 cases to try to resolve this and several other issues with my troublesome SCOM 2012 SP1 upgrade. That is why I am also sending it to the community in hope they can provide assistance.
CSS will only work on one specific issue and in most cases these are targeted bandaid fixes that DO NOT address the underlying or related issues. I a left to opening many tickets and still floundering with a unreliable product.
It seems to only be with System Center. All other products by Microsoft seem to be reliable and predicable and are easily supported using break fix support model of the current MS teams.
It is SQL (SSRS) that controls subscriptions not CM12. CM12 only leverages the APIs provided by SQL (SSRS).
I hate to say this but Why do you think this problem has anything to do with CM12?
If CSS tell you to re-create the subscription and the problem re-occurs then I would re-open the ticket and tell them that the problem is NOT fixed and to continue working on it.

Web Intelligence Report Server - Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number

Hello,
I post a message in this forum :
"When i want to start "Web Intelligence Report Server" with CMC, i've got this error :
Web Intelligence Report Server: Echec du démarrage/de l'arrêt du service sur l'ordinateur distant : Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number: %12.
Any idea ?"
I've do this command :
bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$ ./ccm.sh -restart ras
bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$
but i have always the same error "Error: Failed to run rexec. Error number: %12".
Thanks

Please try to avoid posting duplicate forum posts.
This command :
bouser@v-bo-1 bobje$ ./ccm.sh -restart ras
Restarts RAS server and has nothing to so with WebIntelligence.
To be able to Start/Stop servers from CMC, you have to have rexec running on your Unix box.
Google rexec for more information on what it does and ask your Unix admin to enable it.

Cause for Delay in Report Starting?

We have a process running under BusinessObjects XI Release 2 (Enterprise) submitting a report, and there is about a 30-40 second delay between the report being created and the report start time. We are setting setRightNow =true. Any ideas as to the cause?

Hi,
I'm facing similar issue in our BO environment ..XI3.1 SP3 on win 2003 server.
There is a schedule job based on database event which scheduled to run every 5 mins. From inception I found, the schedule job sometime ran on time, some time delayed by 15-20 mins or sometime got failed.
I've checked the services in delay or failure...but no clue. Please advice what could be probable causes.

Getting error: Report Application Server failed

I started posting my problem in thread below and have been advised to continue in this forum
Reference thread: The Report Application Server failed
My problem occurs in a asp application (vb 2005) and also when I run the Crystal Report stand alone (xi rel 2).
The asp application does not render any other messages than "report Application Server Failed" but running the CR stand alone I get "error formatting cross tab object". Whenver I get this message and if I switch page setting (either from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscope) it work for the report in question.
I have now advanced a little further in trying to solve the issue or at least find what is wrong. I have created a .net windows application where I export the CR to disk
Dim DiskOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
DiskOpts.DiskFileName = ReportPath & ReportName
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = DiskOpts
myCrystalReport1.Export()
I get the same problems, some reports will not let me export and I am getting error:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException: The Report Application Server failed ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800003E5): The Report Application Server failed
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ConvertDotNetToErom.ThrowDotNetException(Exception e)

   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export()
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export()
My default page set up is landscape and if I now reverse the page set up like: myCrystalReport1.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait it will let me export.
My windows application exports hundreds of reports in a single run and by toggling between landscape and portrait I manage to get it working when I get an export error (like above).
Was hoping that anyone couldm point me in a good direction, I've been fighting this problems for many days now and I do not have a solution as to why this is happening. Thank you.

Hi,
The cross-tab reports that are causing this error, do they have any formatting formulas on any of the objects?
Are your using any running totals or setting the Evaluation Time using WhilePrintingRecords?
I've run into this problem with crosstabs when I created a Display String formula using Running Totals.
The report cannot render the report because the running total is conflicting with the results of the crosstab.
When you right-click an object and go to Format Field. In the Common tab if the Display String has a formula set, remove or comment it out. Do this for all the objects and try running the report again.
Good luck,
Brian

Operations Manager 2012 Reporting Service installation failed again

Hi dear guys.
i'm an administrator in a company. and our company decided to have monitoring tools for our servers located in two sites.
i started installation of SCOM in Two servers: 1- SQL server 2-Management server, Operations Console, Web Console
all MP's that needed has been installed and configuration completed successfully. then i decided to have Reporting Server too.i did proper tasks and started it with coordination of DBA team. but because of miss configuration in SSRS installing failed. after
repairing SSRS by them installation failed again but reporting Icon appeared in Management console
because of too many communication with DBA team, I installed a SQL server on a separate server(Full Featured) and configured SSRS too. and then started installing SCOM reporting on this server. but it again failed.

I wanted to send whole log but 60000 is maximum allowable character. here's some logs with error event:

Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document

Yesterday I created a report in Visual Studio 2008 with about 20 subreports, each subreport containing a single aggregate query (i.e count or sum). I then saved the report file. Hours later when I attempted to reopen the report in Visual Studio I recived the message box "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document". The report file was completely unusable - it could not be opened for editting.
Today I repeated the process twice (once ith multiple subreports and once with all aggregate queries combined in a single subreport), only to have the new report files become unusable with the same error message. I am completely shocked at this behaviour from Crystal Reports. I have now spent 10+ hours with no usable report. I realy need a fix for this ASAP!!! Any suggestions would be greatlhy appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Just wanted to confirm you were on SP1.
I've found that these types of error are usually due to corrupt system files or sometimes even Anti-virus software denying access. If there is no error it's not CR corrupting the file.
Look in your AV logs to see if it's logging anything.
Another possibility is with MS pushing out patches they can also cause problems. I've see them change permissions on our dependencies that can cause problems.
Sorry I can't be specific but without seeing your report or any details you'll have to determine at which step in the report it stops working.
Can you save any reports now?
Steps to debug, create a new report with no subreports and save it. Then re-open, if that works then start adding one subreport and then save/open. It may be something related to either the subreports or the number of subreports.
You could try doing a repair install of VS and SP1.
Was this working at one time or is this something new, do you have other reports that are similar that have problems?
You need to debug the report and find out what is causing it to be corrupted. Try adding the 20th subreport and then delete it also.
