Database Dll error when using .mdb file
When I run a crystal report from a client machine I get a Database Dll Error. This error only occurs when I reference an mdb file, otherwise the report runs perfectly. I've installed MDAC 2.8 on the machine to make sure I was up to date there. That didn't help and I was wondering if anyone knew what may be causing the problem or maybe make some suggestions. Only a CR 8.5 viewer is installed on the other machine, it's a 3rd part application that generates the reports. Thanks
Required fiels for CR8.5

I'm using a 2003 .mdb file for storage and Jet 4.0. It says it can't find the database dll. I'm not actually deploying a utility or application, it's deployed in the reports folder of a 3rd part application which currently uses btrieve. It's a small add on with extra information taken from the .mdb file.

The report file is just an update of a report that already exists for the 3rd party app. It runs without the ms access database included. I'm using crystal 8.5 for development and the viewer is 8.5 which is on the client machine and used by the 3rd party app.

And the client machine doesn't have office, so I'm just pointing crystal to the .mdb file.

I found out what was wrong, the pdbdao.dll was missing, just added that to the directory and it worked. Thanks for your help mlmcc
Glad i could help

What version of Access are you trying to use?
What Jet driver are you using? The latest Jet drivers are not included with MDAC after 2.5.
