Hello,

I have some reports displayed in HTML in an ASP site that works fine locally, but when moved to the web server I get this error:


Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'

ActiveX component can't create object: 'CrystalReports.ObjectFactory'

/ce9scripts/OpenObjects.asp, line 20


where line 20 is this:


Set objFactory = CreateObject "CrystalReports.ObjectFactory")


Does this mean I have an unregistered DLL? If so, any idea which one?

TIA.
 
For anyone with this problem in the future, it turned out to be two missing DLLs in the ..\program files\common files\crystal decisions\2.0\bin folder:

clientdoc.dll
objectfactory.dll

Of the 85 DLLs that are installed into that folder alone, oddly enough those were the only two DLLs that were missing on the web server. I do not know why they were missed in the installation.

CrystalAssist was very unhelpful. I used RAS code in my ASP scripts running on Enterprise, which is "unsupported". Am I not using their tool? I was not happy with their stance.
