Crystal Decisons and VB.net web forms

[Phillh]

This has been driving me for the last 2 days...

I have a standard vb crystal reports viewer control on a web form with just the one simple report bound to it.

when I run the project I get the following error:

ACCESS TO THE PATH "DYNAMIC_IMAGES" HAS BEEN DENIED.

it goes on to say that the ASPNET account has got permission to access it etc etc so I have changed the permissions on everthing a 1000 time only to get the same error....

When transfering the same setup to a windows form it works fine..

Please HEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP

In Admin Tools open Internet Services Manager, find the virtual directory for your project and set Read/Write permissions.

is dynamic_images the directory where you are accessing some images?

 

[Phillh]

Yeah..according to a document from Microsoft when a web form has a crystal report viewer on it, every time the form is loaded it creates a temporary JPG of the report in the dynamic_images folder which is pushed back upto the web page to display to the user as the report...

Thanks for your help on this its been driving me mad for the last couple of days....

Blank graph in report

I am using the web form viewer in an aspx page to display reports. It all works wonderfully except for one pc where the chart is always blank. The same report using the same database on a different pc shows the chart. It doesnt matter what kind of chart I design.

Incidentally crystal is generating an image in the "dynamic_images" folder but that image is blank.

Anybody got any ideas???????? Incidentally other data appears correctly on the report so it is not a db access problem.


I am completely stumped on this one.
