I have this error "Error opening file" msg

I used Ms Access XP as database and Crystal Report to preview the report for the data from that database. And i run this process under Windows XP. When i verify the database from crystal report itself it is working fine but when execute that report from vb, it's prompt me this msg "Error opening file. FIle could not be opened: XXX, at file location: "xxx.mdb".

I have no idea why this error can occur in windows xp!

What code are you using to run the report in VB?

Dear mlmcc,
  I used code below;
   With rptReport
      .DataFiles(0) = gclsDatabase.TempDB.Name      
      .WindowState = crptMaximized
      .WindowTitle = Caption
      .ReportFileName = App.Path & "\report\Report.RPT"    
      .Destination = 0
      .Action = 1
   End With


pls advise...
I don't think this is it but CR arrays are 1 based so i think
     .DataFiles(0) = gclsDatabase.TempDB.Name      

should be
     .DataFiles(1) = gclsDatabase.TempDB.Name  
   
WHat does gclsDatabase.TempDB.Name equal?  Does the database exist?

I have not used the .datafiles option so I am uncertain what it does.
