VB6 App & Crystal 8 - Unknown Error

I have developed a VB6 app that runs 8 Crystal reports (developed with v8). The exe runs perfectly on the development machine but not the test position. The exe will generate a preview of 2 of the 8 reports no problem. But when any of the other 6 are selected, the preview window flashes before I get a message box with the error: "Error detected by database dll". The only difference in the 2 reports that work and the other 6 that don't are the number of subreports - there are 0 subreports in one of the ones that works and 4 in the other. The other 6 each contain 6 subreports. I'm not sure why this would cause a problem but I'm grasping at straws at this point. Also - they are all pointed to the same DSN. Any ideas???
 
The only thing that helped me with a similar problem, is to use the package and deployment wizzard to set up reports on other machines, rather than using an executable. Apparently, there are dll files that are needed, but don't 'follow' the exe to other machines. I hope this helps
