Your Error itself says the solution. Install the required .net framework.

yar, i m not expert but, little bit smart.:)

.net framework is install first, without .net framework application is not run..!!!

only crystal report is not display.

I meant that install the framework having crystal report.
Fo reg: when you install visual studio you get an option to install other features including crystal reports.See that you have installed it

How are you generating a setup for your application? Are you using a setup project? Or a third party software? If you are using Visual Studio 2010 to create your setup, are you using the Crystal Report Prerequisit in order to get your users to install it before your program if they need it?

failed to open connection
InvoiceReport{6568989898...}.rpt
deatails:[database Vendor code:17]

well i guess your database is having some problem, try opening the database and fire some queries in it, if it works properly then check your code for connectivity

Solution 3

install .Net framework 2.0 on client computer
because,
crystal report's setup have dependency on '.net framework 2.0'
Happy Coding!

Hi tarun,

Try this steps...

Change the Datasource Connection:
From the Current Data Source list (the top box), click once on the datasource connection that you want to change.
In the Replace with list (the bottom box), click once on the new datasource connection.
Click Update.

Solution 4

Use the Database menu and "Set Datasource Location" menu option to change the name or location of each table in a report.

This works for changing the location of a database, changing to a new database, and changing the location or name of an individual table being used in your report.

To change the datasource connection, go the Database menu and click Set Datasource Location.

Change the Datasource Connection:
From the Current Data Source list (the top box), click once on the datasource connection that you want to change.
In the Replace with list (the bottom box), click once on the new datasource connection.
Click Update.

Solution 1

You need to install the Crystal Reports runtime on your client's machine, not the developer version...your client does not have VS.NET and should also not have Crystal Reports, (developer version).

If the app runs then the machine must have .net framework already installed...

Cheers,

Ken

I agree.. Crystal reports runtime must be installed on client machine or needs to be bundled in the setup program
