I would make verify the database within Crystal report and then re publish it again. It seems it doesn't get the connection to the db.

Have you refreshed the database within Crystal Reports?

As Graham said, does it open in Crystal Viewer?

another thing would be to add the DSN (System DSN) onto your client machine as well. Maybe it is not getting a right connection.

Try it and let us know.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I've solved the error!

The problem was, that the client machine contains Oracle 8 client, and the Oracle Database server machine contains Oracle 9i server.

After I install Oracle 9i client on the client machine, the Crystal Reports XI works fine.

I think, it is a bug, because the Crytal Reports 8.5 doesn't produce so error!

Does the report run in the Crystal Reports Designer?

And is the Oracle client installed on the machine where the report is being run?
