Thanks everyone for their input !!! I was able to solve the problem. The bios on the computer had some crazy usb legacy support. I turned it off (ironically) and the cd I built worked. Wow. go figure....

I thought this scenario is common but was blown away by the lack of documentation. This is what I want to do. I want to ghost my Laptop to a USB 2.0 Exernal Drive. The laptop has no floppy disk. I want to use Ghost 2003 to create and restore these backups. The problem is that Ghost 2003...

I know the Crystal Reports Run Time engine (CRPE32.DLL) has been 'officially' retired. However, does anyone know a way to pass the login credentials from the report to a user function (UFL) called by the report? In particular using a UFL constructed in Visual Basic? i.e. when the report is...

Anyone know of a tool or UFL available that will print an external attachment when a report is printed? eg. a word document or an excel spreadsheet? Embedding the external document in the report is not an option as it is record dependent. Thanks,

Anyone know how I can generate a list of numbers eg. 1 to 100 that I can use in report. I could create a custom or temp table with a numeric field with a values 1 to 100 but rather use something thats completely internal to the report. I envision this could be accomplished with Crystal...
