View Full Version : Crystal 8.5 and CK 2.0 Issue

We had a server crash last week which resulted in a complete rebuild and
consequently our profiles have been recreated and it has triggered off some
issues with Crystal Reports 8.5 and DataFlex Connectivity Kit 2.0

We are getting an error message stating that it can't find p2bdfapi.dll even
though it exists in C:\Windows\Crystal

I ran some low level tools to monitor file and registry access while loading
Crystal Reports and it appears as though the file is being read on a number
of occasions at the right location but still no joy when we print preview a
report or try to create a new one based on a DataFlex data file.

We have reinstalled countless times, patched it to the latest CK build - all
to no avail. Has anyone experienced this issue and any idea how to fix it?
The workstation is running Windows XP Professional with DataFlex 5.0 runtime
installed.

Much appreciated
