Frustrating Error - Please Help

1084 Views

I'm building a windows form app using vb.net, Visual Studio 2008, and CR 2008 (12.0.2000.0). I have a very simple app that loads a report into a viewer control when the form is loaded. About 80% of the time, the report loads with no issue. The other 20% of the time, I receive an exception which Visual Studio doesn't point out where in my code it is, so I'm assuming its the CR viewer that is throwing it. Here is the code I am using, and the associated exception is below. I can't for the life of me figure this out, and the issue has been replicated on a clean system running the CR 2008 SP3 Runtime. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

VB Code:

-

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim Report As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument

Report.Load("c:\report.rpt")

crystalreportviewer_main.ReportSource = Report

End Sub

Exception:

-
