Greetings everyone,
I have some issues with some Crystal Reports that I'm trying to put into a Web Portal I'm working on. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but since I'm working in VS2010 I figured I'd start here.
I have several reports that run a FoxPro exe to create a custom table first before the actual report is run. We use CR 10 and CR 2008, and the reports in question use an xBase data connector. The reason for the xBase is the fact that it allows us to have multiple instances of the report run without the table being locked, which is the case if we use ODBC. Unfortunately when I use the Crystal Reports Viewer in VS, which has the CR 2008 runtime, I get a databse connection error with the xBase data connector.. If I switch to ODBC then the report runs fine, but if I run a second instance of the report I get a "file locked" error when the exe runs and tries to update the table.
I'm not sure what to do now. I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything helpful. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm also more than willing to post any code that I'm using that may be needed.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers,
Chris
