Hi, Del,

I'm on 'semi-vacation' until Monday, and then I can take a closer look at this. I had tested this on a second development machine, but maybe there's another factor going on.

My only immediate guess is that while you have Crystal 9 installed...either the .NET managed code DLL assemblies weren't installed, or maybe they are installed but there's a problem finding them.

Here's what you might want to try...in ccCrystalTools, check the references to the CrystalDecisions namespaces, and do the same for the test form. Are the references ok? You might want to try removing them, and then adding them back in. Let me know how that turns out.

Happy New Year to you as well!
Kevin
