Richard Dudley

Thanks for your post, I had look a number of pages with the possible solution and nothing works. Just one question: What do you mean by recycling. Just stop the service or the site?

Thanks
Fernando

We had the same problem Richard had. We also tryed the same things Richard did, and finally, re-starting the IIS we managed to display the reports properly.
Our problems started when changing the permissions of the dir inwhich our ASP.NET application was located.
So, we guess that IIS does not like such changes. Anyway, we don´t exactly know what happend, so it would be interesting if someone can explain this.

Asier.

I am having the same problem. It has happened several times. There is nothing in any log to indicate what is going on. I re-publish the web project and everything works again. That would have the same effect on this project as re-cycling the web server. I had tried unloading the web application from IIS but that did not stop the error from happening. I have gone thru every report in my application without a problem, so it is not a specific report that is causing this.

I experienced this error and FINALLY got it resolved.  Here is my post to BusinessObjects on what was happening to me.  In a nutshell, even if your app is running impersonated...make sure network service or aspnet accounts(whatever version of IIS) has Read and Write access to the windows/temp folder.  I thought because I was running impersonated and I'm an admin that it was not a permission thing...2 days later I found out I was wrong.

Please get this to the correct people, because I think it will be helpful to others experiencing this problem.

A few days ago I had a problem installing our web reporting software that uses crystal reports.  The application was written with VS.Net 2003 and uses CR 11.   I kept getting the error "Load report failed."  Anyway, I found your (BusinessObjects) NUMEROUS articles on this error but none seemed to solve my problem.  I finally tried one of the articles that should NOT have pertained to me because my web App uses Identity impersonation.  The article ID is c2017413.  In it it clearly states that a load report failed error message might occur if the account that runs asp.net applications doesn't have access to the temp directory in the windows folder.  Being that my app DOES impersonate...and it was impersonating me, who is an administrator of the web server, I was still getting this error and I just knew it had nothing to do with permissions.  Well I was wrong.  It turns out that the Network Service has to be able to Read and Write to that Temp folder.....WhY???  I'm running my app impersonated as the log on user.  It should be that user that needs R&W ability and I have it being that I'm an admin.  Anyway, please look into this and let me know if it is something I'm doing or if I have found some kind of bug.  The specs for my app are below:

Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

IIS 6.0 with integrated security on my web app

Web app was written in VS.Net 2003.  It uses impersonation set in web.config file.  The reports are NOT embedded.

thank you Jamie so much. it worked for me. Thank you again.

I have the same problem

I had the same problem. In my case C: drive was missed from server machine. Following article was the solution: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2016508&sliceId=&dialogID=360384&stateId=1%200%20356275

I am running CR XI release2 VS2005 on my Server. When I generate my Reports, it works 70% of the time, the other 30% of the time I get the error "Load Report Failed". Then I have to restart IIS, to generate reports again. Does anyone have a solution that will prevent the random occurence of this error?

Adding this code to the page unload event fixed it for me.

Partial Class Application_Reports_ReportSearchResults

   Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

   Private MyReport As ReportDocument

 Protected Sub Page_Unload(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Unload

       MyReport.Close()

       MyReport.Dispose()

       GC.Collect()

   End Sub

Thanks Friends I have the same problem but it is done by removing this  from web.config file

Web app was written in VS.Net 2003.  It uses impersonation set in web.config file.  The reports are NOT embedded.

It works,

thanks to all friends

If your report is running for awhile and then falls over make sure you Dispose it.......

if(myReport != null)

{

    myReport .Close();

    myReport .Dispose();

}

I have a similar problem and I solved it by giving permissions to "\IIS_WPG" account to \Documents And Settinsgs\\ASPNET\Local Settings\Temp folder. Make sure you give "Modify" right to this user. Also in IIS create a local administrator user account and use that account in the web site properties under "Directory security\Anonimous Authentication - (Click Edit)\". Enter the local admin user you created. For the password, either you give the password or check the box that says "Allow IIS to provide password" (IIS 5.0) Hope it works for you guys too ..

I have hosted crystal reports on a web server (win 2003 standard with IIS) and then access it from a windows application, on the development pc(winXP) it works fine... it loads the reports from the server and displays them and all. But on the testing machine (winXP)with only .net framework 2.0 and crystal reports runtime for .net 2.0 installed it gives the error "Load Report Failed.". I installed "crystal reports common components" from the visual studio 2005 CD on the test machine and it works fine, as soon as I uninstall it, it stops working, what am I doing wrong? The code goes like this... crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = @"http://servername/reportdirectory/report.rpt" any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, i tried all of the above, because i got the same error. Guess what. it worked. On my dev machine that was. When i loaded the reports on the live machine, it gave me the error. I tried all of the above options and still nothing worked. After searching and battling along, i realised the version of the .net framework on my dev machine and the server were not running the same versions for the web site. After forcing the server to use the same version as my dev machine, the problem was resolved. Regards, Paul

Just for anyone else getting the problem here is my problem and how I fixed it. - Everything works exactly as intended on Dev machine. Move over to the server and it tells me that a resource is missing (common problem). - I copied over the DLL files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0 to the bin directory of the application on the server. - I then got a crep32.dll file was missing. So I copied it from my dev machine into windows/system32. - I then got the "Load Report Failed" error. - Downloaded the zip file from this page: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/cr9netredist.zip.asp and ran the included msi file on the server and everything works. Best of luck.

Windows temp folder for Crystal Reports. The IIS_WPG user has to have modify, write and read access to this folder. This folder is normally located in the c:\windows To modify security settings, open Windows Explorer, browse to the folder then right-click the folder. Figure 1: Windows Temp directory You will be displayed a dialogue Temp properties dialog in which you will add the IIS_WPG group (Internet Information Services Worker Process Group) to the security tab of the dialog. Figure 2: Temp Properties Click the Add… button and you will be displayed the Select Users or Groups dialog. Input IIS_WPG in the Enter the object names to select textbox. Click Check Names button to verify the user then click the OK button. Figure 3: Select Users to allow access to temp folder. The user IIS_WPG will then be added to the list of users with access to the temp folder of windows. Select the IIS_WPG user then apply the appropriate permissions as seen below. Figure 4: Setting appropriate permission in the temp folder Click OK button and the Crystal Reports folder permission will now be set. This worked for me. alas images cannot be shown.

Same Problem

in my vb.net 2005 project im calling same report for many times in one form. after 25 30 times its giving error of "load report failed". and if i closed the application and restart the applcatioin its working fine again for 25 to 30 times . please help me

I have also had issues moving from dev to prod server. In my case I gave full access to iis_wpg group in temp directory as I received a could not load report error. The problem I am now getting is that a pie chart image appears as a red cross but it exports to pdf OK. Also another report has a graph on it and this appears OK in the viewer. Has anyone had anything similar and been able to fix? many thanks

Does the webserver have a C: drive?? That was the problem I had. You'll have to change the registry values to an explicit path...see the post above for a link to a KB article that shows how...thanks alot everyone!!

Hi, i have de same error: "load report failed", but in the inner exception i see the next error: "Not enough memory for operation" Please help me, thanks

Hi Please run the command regsvr32 to the CRQE.DLL Bye

Hi, I had the same problem as every one discussing. I am able to load the report perfectly but if you stayed on that report for some time, its gives Load Report Failed error. I increased the Cache Duration to 99999 and my problem solved. so now i don't have any 70% success rate... :)

I have the same problem, When I run CR it works fine but after some time it does not show and Gives me Error "Load Report Failed. Note : when I face the problem on dev machine, I just restart my machine and CR start work again. But not in the case of prod. machine. When I deploy my Site on Server and testing of my site, I face the problem again any one can help me Pls welcome you can send your comments on haresh_cancer@yahoo.co.in thanks

I tried most of the stuff above, then came across a hint to grant read/execute and modify on the .rpt files themselves to the ASPNET account... whala...you go figure

Hi to All I have also found the same problem and i ahe tried all the aboe and finaly it works!!!!!!!!!! Thanks...!!!!!!!!!!

@Jamie. Thanks bud!! Had the same situation and that fixed it. No idea why any account other that the one the process is impersaonting needs access to c:\windows\temp. Anyone?

I am faced by the same problem; that is works 70% of the time . The only solution however is restarting IIS but thats bringing hell down on me because I loose all my active sessions. And I have tried most of the above but I guess some solutions pertain to Reports failing all the time and not just some time. Does anybody know of a solution of partial success, partial failure? Please Help

Hi, Well i know a Wrong place to post, but i have the same error. the difference is i am not using ASP but have developed my application on Windows Forms using VS2005 in C#. For few days the system and the rreport functions properly. but suddenly after some days, the Loading Report Crashes with an error "Load Report Failed" to solve this i tried repairing and reinstalling CRRedist2005_x86.msi on the client system. but in vain. Finally i have reformat the system and reinstall the O/s (Windows XP) and there after the things are ok. this has happened to me twice now. am sure it is some prob with some dll but donno which. or is it some Windows XP Patch which is to be installed. Pls Help so that i am ready for the next time. Thanks and Regards, Kiran Jain

.NET 2005 XP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio impersonate=true r/w to c:\windows\temp for ASPNET I'm not having the problem, but my customer is. It works for me on my development and test machines. My customer has access to the test machine; it doesn't work for them. They get "Load Report Failed". Any suggestions?

Guys, this issue has bugged the hell out of me but as I noticed, it could either be a windows authorization issue or printing limit or another unknown reason. The first could solved by giving the IIS user the permission on the temp folder, the second by increasing the printing limet.. as for the third (what I am facing now :s ) I really need help with :) and I truly believe Business Objects them self does not know how to solve it :)

dear sir, my problem is when i going to run the exe file (VB.NET AND SQL SERVER 2000 WITH CRYSTAL REPORT), it shows ERROR that "JIT debuggerb is absence" in Win 98 and XP both so what can i do for that plz help me. if possible plz send the solve to "11.mrinal@gmail.com" thanx mrinal

We are also facing same problem. My Crystal report with asp.net is working fine but after some time it gives error "Load Report Failed". When I reset IIS its again works fine. Write me if anybody have sureshot solution. Thanks in advance. Uday Gupta

I have the same problem that my machine does not have C Drive. Now it's solved. Thanks So Much!!!

I am having the same problem of crystal report shows load report error ,it works fine again when i restart the server,pls somebody give the solution.

This is a great thread. I got past my "Load Report Failed" issue now when it comes up with the date selections, there's no functionality. I can't type in the text boxes, the "Use Value" dropdowns are blank, and the calendar graphic shows the "couldnt find picture" red-x graphic. So close to getting this working. Can anyone help?

I tried all of the solutions in this thread, NO one worked for me :( please help me I developed my app in vs 2003. it works fine in my pc(Win xp,.NET Framework 1.1 sp1) but in the server (windows 2003,.NET Framework 2) I get the "load report failed " error

On Dev-machine (XP-sp2 - VS2003 CR8.5) loading reports works fine, but when using OpenSubReport I got the error Load Report failed. Any suggestions ?

Hi All, Pls help me for the topic of Load Report Failed in Vb 2005 when i call crystal Report Form. please help me for connectivity of Database and Crystal Report at the time of running Programme. Regard Anubhava Dimri anubhava.prodata@gmail.com

Just looking for info and found this page - so I'm posting my issue for what it's worth. I have a console application (no web) written with VisStudio 2003. I am loading external Crystal X reports, setting DB and parameter values, and then printing or emailing the result. It works fine for about 10-12K reports, but at some point I get "load report failed" errors and nothing will print out anymore. I simply restart the app and it works fine. My current solution is to make sure I restart the app before it hits 10K reports, but it's not an exact number so I don't really know when it will happen. This may be the same underlying issue that is biting you. I still have no idea what is wrong. I am closing, disposing, and then garbage collecting after each print request. I found a page somewhere on the Internet where a guy was complaining about a "memory leak" he found with the load command. He claims that the Crystal .NET api attaches two event handlers to the document when you load it, but it never releases these event handlers and consequently the object never gets disposed. I have no idea if that is related to this issue, but it seems to make some sense. I have observed this consistent behavior for about 2 years now and I am running the app on an XP and an NT box. I just installed whatever .NET version was the latest at the time, which I believe is v1.1. No answers from me, but maybe this will help someone out. Again, I found this issue consistently after 10-12K reports, so it doesn't happen immediately.

I was able to succesfully run my reports on my developement machine running VS 2005 but when I published the site to a Windows 2003 server the reports would return "Load Report Failed" After trying every security change I could think of I decided to look at my application pools in IIS. Here is what I did 1. Open IIS 2. Expanded Application Pools (I always create a individual applciation pool for each of my ASP.NET 2.0 sites) 3. Right clicked on the application pool for the site causing problems and selected Properties from the shortcut menu 4. Clicked the Identity Tab 5. By default the Predefined radio button was selected and Network Service was in the drop-down. I selected the Configurable radio button, clicked Browse and selected the administrator and then entered the administrator password. All works fine now

Here is the problem. I have read this entire thread and nothing seems to be working for me. I have Crystal XI r2 .NET 1.1. I too have a development machine and the report works just fine and when I load to the production server I get the load error as well. Here is how my situation differs though. I have a dozen reports in my ASP.NET application and this is the only one that won't run. All others run just fine and in 1 case I have a report that is 2 time bigger and runs about 6000 pages and I have no problem with that one. I even changed methods of generating the report to export to http response instead of saving directly to the hard drive. This is the most strange probem I am having.

My i am getting load report failed error from window service. My code on start of the service Dim ds As New DataSet Dim rptDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument Dim strReportPath As String = "C:\TransactionMonitor\Subscription.rpt" ds = GetDataChecklist("SUB") 'rptDocument.SetDatabaseLogon("Vitech", "Citigroup") rptDocument.Load(strReportPath) Could any body help

I have this problem in a VB.NET Windows application. The error only occurs after exporting a report, in this case to abobe pdf. Once a report has been exported the Load Report Failed message occurs on the ReportDocument.Load() method. I tried creating the report in a separate thread, but that does not help.

hi everybody, i am gettign the following exception when ever the exisitng System.Exception: Load report failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800003E5): Failed to open report. at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.Open(Object& DocumentPath, Int32 Options) at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.Open(Object& DocumentPath, Int32 Options) at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass.Load(String reportName, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.s() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.get_DataDefinition () at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue(String name, Object val) at NetCRM.UI.REPORT.TempCustomerLeadRequest.btnShow_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Request.aspx.cs:line 181 why did this came and tell me the solution this exception. my id is parasuram_nobel@hotmail.com

I'm also getting the same Error. But in my case, i'm using crystal report with windows application and the error shows. "Load Report Failed" and "The directory or file cannot be created". I have followed all the solutions given here and nothing worked in my case. Please help me to solve the problem.

Has anyone working with ASP.Net 2.0 & CR 10.x had any luck with any of the above suggestions concerning the "Load report failed" error? If so please leave msg here detailing your fix.

It worked for me after giving read/write to Networkservcies account. Thanks.

'Load report failed' is a permission type of the problem. The correct permissions should be set for .*rpt file which is part of your web application. The other part is setting correct permission (read/write) to c:\windows\temp\ folder. Also, Temp folder permission should be set for (read/write). You can set 'Modify' permission as well. In the case of IIS 6.0 (windows 2003) 'Network Service' should have those permissions. Why? You can open your IIS 6.0 management and go to the 'Application pools' . Find the pool of your application and right click 'Properties'. Select 'Identity' Tab. You will see default identity is set to 'Network Service'. For testing you can try to change it to 'Local System'. You will have some warnings but this is just to test your .*rpt file. Click 'Apply' and 'OK'. Run your application again. Your Crystal Report will work correctly now. As I said, this is just to test that your 'Load failed..." error is permission problem. In the case of IIS 5.0 (XP machines) the difference is that 'Network Service' is replaced by ASPNET account.

We had the same problem when the temp files kept building up in ASPNET/localsetting/temp. We got a solution by cleaning up the session objects on the page that loads the list of reports not the one with the crystalviewer on it. If you use a session make sure and call it only when the session is empty or it will generate files when changing pages.

I haven't read all the replies so maybe someone has spotted this already. running vs2005. sql. standard stuff. I was getting Load report Failed. I eventually tracked it down the aspx page my report viewer was on having the name admin_reports_default.aspx because i had my default.aspx page in a *root*/admin/reports i got rid of the underscores and used just default.aspx, and that solved it for me. best of luck chaps

Hi I am facing one issue related to InprocServer/TempDir in the Windows Registry. I have to do an implementation of one of our Intranet Solution in Canada. The application is developed using ASP.Net. We are using Crystal Report to create reports. You must be aware that while generating the reports Crystal Report uses C:\Windows\Temp for writing temporary files. The problem is the client does not want us to use that folder for security reasons. We tried entering the values in the windows registry in the InprocServer/TempDir but it throws an exception "Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT: The request could not be submitted for background processing." Can you tell me what do I have to do inorder to handle this error.

Hi..I had the same issue but in my case, the server disk is full. I thnk Crystal Report is not able to save any files on the shared drive just because of this. I am working on Disk Cleanup and hope to see things working!! Thanks All!!

We also encountered the same problem, what we did is, we copied also the .vb of each .rpt (this goes only if you developed the reports inside VS) and anything goes fine. Although, including such files might be a risk due to the instance that a user might open it in a notepad or any related software and make a modification :(.

I faced the same problem.Adding the following lines of code fixed the issue creport.close() creport.dispose()

Ok, it worked for me giving the NetworkService Permissions on the c:\windows\temp folder. Thanks @all for the help. The question now is why would I wanna do that in the first place ? Why is Crystal Reports using a windows folder for temporary files ? Neither the users that are to use my app nor the Network Service are supposed to have Write (!!!) permissions on that folder. And why is the impersonation not working, why is it using the network service in the first place ? Does anyone have an update on this or does know whether a patch is being worked on ?

I do facing the problem of 30% users getting the error of 'Load Report Failed'. But remaining 70% of the users can view the report properly. Have given the permission to the folder C:\Windows\Temp for the user which is configured in the 'Application pool' [for 'Identity'] for the respective web site. I hope, the problem will be resolved. Update you again, once the report loading is stable. :)

I had a problem in a windows service written in vb.net where the reports would run fine but then start failing after a while. My reports use a SqlServer table. Try the following code change: Dim oRpt as new ReportDocument oRpt.Load("FileName.rpt") change to: Dim oRpt as new ReportDocument Try oRpt.Load("FileName.rpt") Catch ex as Exception oRpt.VerifyDatabase End Try I haven't had a failure yet after making this change. I don't like that this is my permanent workaround, but if it works... Scott H

Thanks for your valuable help...i had same problem...i had impersonation in my config file....i have allowed the read and write rights to networkservice account in windows/temp folder...it solved my problem....thanks again for u r help....

Thanks for all the info above. But non can really help me out. I having the same problem only after some time. Restarting IIS can solved it, but it is not the solution we want, imaging you lost all the session process. And not the only apps in IIS, you might have some other apps services. Any add on solution to the same problem we are having? I really appreciate it if any can help out. Thanks

I have the same problem. This error message is the same error message for about 1,500 different problems... for a vended product I'd hope for better messages. :P Works locally, not on IIS on the server though. I gave permissions to everthing under the sun testing, none worked. Urg. :P

Hi, Please assign NETWORK_SERVICE user to folder "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET" with full rights.

Hey guys, did you try to put the report folder to the same level of the page where you call the report?

I am getting "Load Report Failed" error some time. Clearing WINDOWS\Temp\cr_tmp_image_ folder doesn't works all the time. I need to restart the IIS inorder to make it work. Can any one give me a solution other than restarting IIS?

Hi all,I too went thro all the ideas given in the site but nothing seems to be working for me.I am getting the same error ' Load report failed' and that it happens at a particular time period every day.Restarting IIS makes app to work but this is not the permanent fix. I had given full permission for the account NETWORK SERVICE for the windows\temp folder. but still i am getting the same error. If any one finds any fixed solutions for this issue please share it with all.Thanks Krishna

Hi krishna We have the same problem. Did you find a work around to your problem? Thanks Gk

I tried all of the steps above to no avail. Here is how I fixed it. My server is a Windows 2003 server running IIS 6.0 and the Web site using Crystal Reports uses a dedicated application pool. Open IIS, Right click the Application Pool that the site uses, choose Properties, go to the Identity tab and select Configurable. I entered a user name and password in the available fields for and administrator and it fixed my problem

Developing an ASP.NET application, I got the same error "Load Report Failed", when using the code: Dim myConnection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection() myConnection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=MyDB;User ID=myuser;Password=mypass;" Dim MyCommand As New SqlClient.SqlCommand() MyCommand.Connection = myConnection MyCommand.CommandText = "Select * from Item_View" MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text Dim MyDA As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter() MyDA.SelectCommand = MyCommand Dim myDS As New Dataset1() MyDA.Fill(myDS, "item_view") Dataset that you created during design time Dim oRpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oRpt.Load("CrystalReport1.rpt") oRpt.SetDataSource(myDS) The oRpt.Load("CrystalReport1.rpt") generated the error. Then I changed the line to : oRpt.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt")) And it worked!!! It seems that is better to pass the absolute path to the oRpt.load rather than the relative path.

Hi, i use a CrystalReportSource object. I had this problem everytime i tried to esport or to print the report, but none whene i tried to reload it. Nothing seems to be a definitive solutions for my problem (no iis configuration or restart, no file permissions, ecc). My solution is orrible but it works (for me). 1. I add an invisible label. 2. on report select, i add the report's file path to this label. 3. on pageload, if label is not null or empty, i set the filename of the reportdocument equals to the label text value. It's not elegant but it works Bye

Sometimes it is the simple things: One common mistake is to have the path incorrect when trying to load the report - make sure you're using Server.MapPath("xxx.rpt") instead of hard coding the path information. In my case, i had directly mapped to the "C:\xxx\xxx.rpt" location instead of using Server.MapPath("Report/ReportName.rpt") when initializing the report.

hai,currently i am working on my project,some errors build on run time,that "Load Report Failed" error,I don't know how to clear it.

Hey i am using a windows project and crystal reports in that to generate report at a particular instance for each use but i always get this error and im not sure which is causing it but once i restart the application . It will work fine . So i am expecting something to do with the pooling of the report or ...????? Please post your reply

Hi: My crystal report is publish as a web service, I'm using WinForm Crystal Report Viewer to view the report, after preview a few reports, I get the"Load Report Failed" exception, I need to restart the IIS in order to view the report again. I suspect this is because the report is not Close and Dispose after preview, unfortunately I don't know where to put the code....Anyone using crystal report as web service can help me on this problem ? Thanks

I too had same problem,it was appearing all of a sudden and i verified my code where i didn't find any error.Forums are helpful but my problem did not get solved.If any help i will be thankful.

Hi,all the same error was troubling me also. I hav tried all the above options but it didn't solve my problem.I got one sol in other site but that too didn't used.iam giving url of that,as it may be useful to others. https://community.dynamics.com/forums/p/1372/1609.aspx

The permissions suggestions are not solving for the people who are citing the degenerative nature of the problem. This is what we are experiencing with a .net app using cr xi to export to pdf on a windows 2003 x64 server. We are cleaning up in our code after every export, however a few hundred requests in we get this message, and then the only thing that works is restarting IIS. Smells like a leak, has anyone figured this particular issue out?

My 2 cents. Windows 2003 web edition, IIS 6.0, CR 11.5, ASP.NET 2.0. Actual error: Error Occured Please find detailed information below Error Message:Load report failed. Routine Name:EnsureDocumentIsOpened Routine Type:Method Stack Trace: at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename) at reports_ReportViewer.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) Reinstalling run-time msi in repair mode helped to solve the issue (previously reports were fine) Regards

- Be sure of the R/W access on /Temp in user's Document - Be sure from the report's Path - Register the crqe.dll (in run: regsrv32 .../crqe.dll)

check the C:\....\Temp folder, delete all temp files from it

please send me the fixed problem of Crystal report Load failed Error. please email me "jadoon_group@yahoo.com" Thanks

IN our case problem was we were publishing our website through VS 2008 and our rpt files were in some different folder and VS 2008 didn't copied our rpt files to publish folder and we were trying to load report file from that folder thats why it was giving error as Load Report Failed.... Our code was like rpt = new ReportDocument(); rpt.FileName = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/rptReservationManifest.rpt"); rpt.Load(rpt.FileName); here we were accessing rpt file from report folder.... We tried all the options but no luck... At the last we copied all rpt files to outout folder and everything works great. Thank you Sandesh Daddi

I have the same problem i've tried the solution above but doesn't work. Help me 10nx

Hi Srs. My problem was related with Vista, and the first problem in this OS are the permission, my OWN ACCOUNT!!! dont have all the permissions to edit and create temp files :(, just grant all the permission to you account and this should be fixed, other solution was i tried was register the DLL with regsvr32 /s CRQE.DLL but i dont know if was worked too. just tried and thanks a lot for all the tips!!!! thanks buddies!!!!

Me also faced same problem ie., "Load Report Failed" error when the .rpt files in temp folder is not cleaned, even after disposing the reports in Page_Unload event. My observations is: If we disable the client system lan connection or shutdown the client system while rendering Crystal Report, I am getting the above error. If we delete the temporary files forced, by using "Del *.* /F", it is working fine again.

thanks a lot Jamie. I had same problem . ur solution worked out!!!!
