Blob image not appearing in report

[jon-henry]

I have an asp.net app running on a web server. Within the app is a report with a blob field showing scanned receipts for invoicing. The report is run by a user from the server via a webpage. The report was working properly up until about two months ago then stopped. No changes were made to the report when it stopped working. All of the other data in the report still works perfectly, its just the blob field for the receipt images that isnt working.

When I run the report from crystal reports connected to the server via VPN, the report runs perfectly, images and all. When run from the webpage the blob field just shows the broken link while all the other data is present. I do have other reports showing receipt images as well and those are working fine.

I have the requisite handlers in pace in my web.config file:

<system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="CrystalImageHandler.aspx_GET" verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.*" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" preCondition="integratedMode" />  <!--preCondition="integratedMode"-->
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

A few other reports with blob fields are working fine so this shouldn't be it...I don't think.

Any ideas what else could cause it not to work when run from the webpage? As I said before, the report works perfectly except for the blob field which should show an image but shows the broken link instead.

Thanks,jon

I changed the tag on your question to "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio", which is the tag to use for questions about using the Crystal .NET SDK.

The "SAP Crystal Reports" tag is for general questions about report design and how to use the SAP Crystal Reports desktop software.

You are using an old version of CR for VS.

Update to SP 32 here:

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads

The new Viewer will be 13.0.4000.0 and note Framework must be set to 4.7.2 or 4.8.x.

Note: we don't support Core framework 5.x or above
