Using applications with different versions of crystal reports on same machine
-
Hello Friends, I have two applications in which one of them is build on VB6.0 & using Crystal Report 9.0 and the other application is build on VB.net and using .Net 2.0 Crystal Report. When running both applications on same machine the VB6.0(CR 9.0) application some times generate an error on opening report Error # -2147417848 : Method '~' of object '~' failed I need to know that can we run application with different version of crystal report on same machine and wat is the solution required to do it. Regards Ali Raza

You might try running a tool such as Process Viewer (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/processviewer.asp) against each of the two EXE's. Run it on: - Machine with VB6 app only - Machine with .NET app only - Machine with both See what Crystal DLL or DLL's are shared if any by the programs and compare the version numbers - maybe one is stomping on the other. Especially look for the infamous CRPE or CRPE32 DLL (aka crappy DLL) Nice to know Crystal still suffers these issues going on 10 or more years now :sigh: - Paul
