Report Source not Valid when using Remoting/Netrun

Hiya!

We are using Remoting for an application, and have integrated Crystal Reports. Currently we export the crystal report as a byte array from our business objects and write it to a file using a filestream. This works perfect in local and debug modes. When running thru remoting, however, we get a message "Invaid Report Source". The file IS being written... just cannot be read by the crystal report viewers load method.

If anyone out there has any ideas, please share! This problem is driving my whole dev team nuts.

Any help or sharp kicks in the right direction greatly appreciated!

Hello Dave,

This one sounds a little complicated and it could be a number of things. I would highly recommend calling into technical support and working with the team there:

Off the top of my head this sounds like a file version mismatch. How does the remoting work in terms of the client? Which viewer are you using, the WinForm viewer or WebForm viewer? Are you deploying a client application? If so then how do you deploy it?

Check out the version of the Crystal Report viewer you are using on the local machine vs the client.
