When I go into Crystal Reports and do a verify Database, it tells me it changes, then it allows me to view the report. When I run the program, and then go open crystal reports to view the report, it gives me the exact same error message about not being in the expected format.

Oh darn it, I think I have an idea about what is happening. I ran a test just now. I put this in the init of the control in a new form, and it works fine. I am wondering if I need to put this code somewhere other than where I am putting it to make it work right.

Any suggestions to that last part? Does the code have to be in a specific event?
