Hi Mike

Did u get an answer to your question? I have the same problem. I have the correct version (Version=9.1.5000.0) displayed in my HTML screen. I dragged and dropped an instance of the Crystal Report Viewer onto my .aspx form with no problems before, now suddenly its acting up. Any solutions, short of re-installing...

Thanx in advance for any helpt

Hi taz,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing the same problem I was, ain't Crystal a pain. Ok, I did manage to solve the problem with the Crystal reports in that I found that there were 2 different version of Visual studio .net installed on the machine that I was working on (2003 and the version before that). So I simple removed the earlier version of .net and as far as I can remember everything worked grand.

One possible solution would be to remove the crystal viewers from would site and remove the references to the crystal viewers, and then try and drag on a new instance of the viewer...

There was one problem with trying to remove the earlier version of .net, in that when I went to Add/Remove Programmes, I could not distinguish between the two versions. That ment that I had to save all my work, and pick one at random. I was look in that the one I picked first time was the right one.

Hope this helps, best of luck with it.
