    CR deploy problem

    I have an ASP.NET application that runs correctly on my developement station, it should as everything is running locally and i have all permissions etc.

    The problem is that i have to move this app to a clients web site. It is held on a server 100's of miles away so i have no access to it physically, we are not even allowed to run an install package on it so i can make sure we have the correct dependancies etc. So my problem is, what do i need in order to get the crystal reports to run?

    I have copied the entire app directory to the server including all report files etc but when we run the app i recieve the following error.
    Code:
    Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 
    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Sorry everyone, the question is crap.
    Seems the client's hosting provider does not support Crystal Reports as they feel it is a resource hog.
    Would have been nice to know before we designed all of these reports for them.
    Back to the drawing board!

    it really should be packaged up and deployed properly.....
    even if you don't run it... some needs to...
    other wise there are just too many things that could be wrong....

    True, True
    I have it fully packaged and have deployed it on our own server with no problems. Will keep the framework for another client.
