Reference Identification [RESOLVED!]

Can someone please tell me what component it is that goes with this guid: {BD4B4E61-F7B8-11D0-964D-00A0C9273C2A}?

I've looked everywhere. Thanks in advance.

Google is your friend.

Looks like it's Crystal Reports associated with VB.
Control could be crwExport, rptParticipantConvStmt, or control CrystalReport1

Trust me, I know Google is my friend, it's always the first place I look. Either Google or VBForums.

I already tried every suggestion from the google search you provided because I did the same search first and nothing that was suggested there works for me. I've Uninstalled VB, and Reinstalled. Uninstalled CR and Reinstalled. Unregistered all the dll's and Reregistered them. Applied the patches, service packs and hotfixes, and it's still not working.

I found one reference to it on the CR website, but what they suggested didn't fix my problem either.

I just want to know exactly which control goes with clsid {BD4B4E61-F7B8-11D0-964D-00A0C9273C2A}.

Looks like its - C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Report Designer Component\craxdui.dll

Crystal Reports 8.5

Craxdrt:
Embedded Crystal Reports Designer Control
Report Designer Component
Required Files for Crystal ASP Web Report Server

I added reference to craxdui.dll. I already had reference to craxdrt.dll. It's still not working. It won't let me load the dsr files into the project. I am about to put my foot through my display!

What version of CR are you running? Do you have the Developer version?

CR Professional: Product Version 8.5.3.975

It is professional version.

RobDog, you pointed me in the right direction, thank you.

I talked with support at Seagate yesterday and they said I couldn't compile this application unless I had the development version of CR. The reports were created with a free version of RDC, which is not free anymore. But, what I don't understand, is I inherited this application, and it compiled on machines with professional version in the past... I have installed the developers version of 8.0 and it still won't compile.

Remove all the CR references in your project save and close. Then reopen your project and re-reference the needed references.
Your project references may still be pointing to registry entries of the previous version installation.

Turns out it was a conflict with CR 9 and CR 8. I had to uninstall CR 9. Uninstall and reinstall CR 8. Unregister and re-register the craxdui.dll. Now the app will compile. (Now, will I remember all of this the next time I have to work on this app? What a pain!) Thanks for your help Robdog.

Oh so you didnt say you had installed two different versions.

Glad it was just the craxdui.dll and not more then that. ;) :thumb:

I had no clue two different versions of CR could cause a conflict between each other. All of my apps are developed in CR9. So, I guess I need to upgrade the CR8 app. Or, I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling everytime I have to change this app. What a pain.

What about another system or laptop to keep as your compiling system?
No need to install or uninstall then. Two versions on two systems.

Too funny. A coworker suggested the same thing. Two problems: First, Seagate isn't supporting CR8 anymore, and it'll have to be upgraded at some point. We just got Microsoft Report Services, and I've heard it's much better than Crystal Reports. If I find that to be true I'm going to migrate to that. However, I'm sure it has headaches of it's own! Second, I don't think I'd get approval to have a box that does nothing but compile CR8 apps.

It doesnt need to be a new system. As long as it can run the same OS as yours and handle CR/VB thats all you need. They
should have an older system lying around somewhere.

Brilliant. Found this from Google. Apparently I've been using ver10 and the same reply applies (I have several copies of CR10 Pro and 1 copy of CR10 Dev and obviously installed the wrong copy for my dev machine).

Thanks ;)
