Do you have problem in opening crystal reports on a terminal server?


In several cases crystal reports work’s well on the server but still it cannot be open on terminal server.
The problems faced by the people within the organization due to absence of crystal reports are: -
  1. Senior Managers await these crystal reports and they are not available on time.
  2. Data entry operators need to start their daily chores after confirming previous work based on these crystal reports which remain pending as they are not able to open the reports.

After checking all the possibilities right from setup to ODBC to registration of DLL( Dynamic Link Library), but often we tend to forget that DLL required to run these reports has been copied on the terminal server or not? Sometimes it happens that these files are present on server but find missing on terminal server and hence we are not able to access these reports made in crystal.
In case you come across similar problem, now follow few basic steps to get it resolved: -
First Step: - Do check the DLL on server at path: C:\Windows\Crystal ……
Second Step: -Copy the multiple DLL files existing.
Third step: - After copying now go to same path on your terminal server and paste it.
Final Step: - Now check again to view your figures on the screen.
The frequent cause of this issue is that the software is not able to find the files while running the crystal report and hence it halts there and then.
Hope this helped resolve your issue.
