Answer 1

We had a similar problem with compiling our application on different machines. That was due to incorrect paths of subreports. Make sure the path to subreports are always reachable. That solved the problem on our side.

Answer 2

The ODBC connections all need to be named the same even if the connections all point to the same connection. If you have a report with several subreports and any of the data connections are named differently, you will get the 'path not found' error.

Answer 3

This can be a misleading error.

In my case, the stored procedure for the report generally worked, but when passed a parameter in a certain format it would fail which would cause the The system cannot find the file specified exception.

Answer 4

I have had similar issues with deploying crystal reports. The issue is usually installing the correct crystal reports runtime on the server, by correct I mean 32 or 64 bit - depending on how the iis website is set up.

the other issue is the user that the site is running as in IIS - make sure it does have access to where the files are located.
