Error saying that 'the physical database is not found'

[Sinead]

I have deployed a compiled application including embedded Crystal Reports on a remote machine. I have tested this with from the Visual Basic development environment with my machine to the same database and it works. I have duplicated the ODBC setting I use on this machine on the other one. I am getting an error saying that 'the physical database is not found' when I try opening a Crystal Report. Does anybody know why this may be the case? - The only difference seems to be that one is compiled and other is not!

Thanks in advance

I would check for permissions or other differences in access. Also, there may be a required dll missing on the remote PC. See:
