hi, This is what caused my problem. i un installed a program that was using crystal reports. the uninstallation removed all components for crystal in the program files/common files directory. this is why i was getting the error. Solution....well kinda solution... i re-installed that software which put back all the modules and now it works fine. i dont know why the uninstallation removed the components, but it did, i will have to live to the software installed even though i am not using it... i dont mind! hope this helps!!! :)
