Some reports don't open in CrystalReportViewer

We have a program that uses a CrystalReportViewer to open reports, and it's been working fine. Recently I made a report (with no parameters) in CR XI that will display correctly in the designer and show data, but when I try to open it in the program, it won't show up. The Viewer window appears, but it is just blank white. It has the status bar, but it just shows "Current Page No.:" and "Total Page No.:" with no information after them. I have even made a very simple report that uses no database access or parameters, and just has a simple text object in it, in addition to the date and page number. That one won't show up either.

Does anyone have any idea of what might cause some reports to show up in CrystalReportViewer and others not?

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Legacy Application Development SDKs Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

No responses yet... Here is a little more information.

The program using these reports was made a few years ago, and the reports may have been made with an earlier version of Crystal Reports (10 or earlier). The existing reports open fine in the CrystalReportsViewer in this program. If I open one of these reports in a more recent Crystal Reports editor (version XI or even 2008), modify it, and save it, it will still display correctly.

It is only when I create a new report in CR XI or 2008 that it gives me the blank report in this program, even if the report is as simple as possible.

Any ideas now?
