Crystal report takes time to open

[Former Member]

I am using Crystal reports 9 in my VB.net application for generating a report.

It causes a delay of around 1 minute for the report to get generated when i try to run it on Win 2k8 server Standard German OS(64 bit). It works fine on xp and even win 2k8 english.

After some analysis, the delay was found to be due to the OpenReport method used to open the report from a specified path. I also tried to place the rpt file directly under C:\, which also caused the same delay.

I am stuck up with this for the past 2 weeks, experts in this field, please suggest a solution.

Thanks in Advance:)

Load a dummy report on the form load event, this way CR runtime is preloaded.

Hello,

First CR 9 is not supported on that OS. CR XI R2 with Service Pack 6 and CR 2008 Service Pack 2 are supported.

Second which report engine are you using, RDC or .NET?

Thank you

Thanks for the answer..

The same report works fine in English OS (Win 2k8 Std R2), if version is the problem, it should not have worked in English too.

Is that right?

We are using RDC.

As a new observation, the same problem occurs in French OS too!!!

Does this have anything to do with language settings?

And, is this a known issue with CR9.
