VB application with Crsyal reports 1

[MayFlowerNew]

My application uses existing crystal reports .rpt files. Refreshes data every morning and exports it in pdf format. I want to put this application on another machine where Crystal reports is not installed. It gives error "Run time error '50003'. Load report failed." Is there any work around like registering any crystal dlls..

Help please.

Thanks

Welcome to my nightmare"

Basically yes you need to install and register dlls, several dlls. Too many variables to answer exactly - which version, what features do you use, do you use RDC.........

The best place to start is look at BOs top 10 most asked questions no 5 and work your way from there

I am little confused about RDC.
What is RDC? I go in the application. Click on Add Crystal Report 9. Then select already created .rpt file and thats it..Am I dealing with RDC here?

Look for a file called 'runtime.hlp' or 'runtime.chm' on your machine. It will tell you which Crystal files you need depending on which Crystal objects you use.

You can get the merge modules from Business Objects, and build a quick little install package. You can get them here:
