Hi,
I created a basic command report connecting to a SQL database using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Database Expert>Add Command. When I run this report from my web application(.NET 4.0) it throws an error while loading the report, Failed to load Database information:Error in File ... .rpt
When I set the Enable 32 bit applications to true on my Application Pool the report runs fine and also when I preview the report through the design it works fine too.
Wonder why I have to Enable 32 bit applications. Doesn't it run on 64 bit apps.
PS: All the other reports designed through the same designer works and runs fine though even on the 64 bit application.
My Operating System is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and I have a Crystal Reports runtime for VS 2010 64 bit on that server.
Below is the SQL Command Query:
SELECT "CNTCTID"."NAMEFIRST", "CNTCTID"."NAMELAST", "EMPLOYEE"."HIREDATE", "EMPLOYEE"."EMPID"
FROM (RESOURCES.EMPLOYEE "EMPLOYEE"
INNER JOIN RESOURCES.CONTACT "CONTACT" ON "EMPLOYEE"."CONTACTKEY"="CONTACT"."CNTCTKEY")
INNER JOIN RESOURCES.CNTCTID "CNTCTID" ON "CONTACT"."IDKEY"="CNTCTID"."IDKEY"
I read somehwere in other forums that
This is due to CR being a 32-bit app running on a 64-bit server. The server needs to be configured to run 32-bit apps in 32-bit mode. This is an issue that is not unique to Crystal Reports. Is this really the issue?
Please do suggest me.
