Crystal reports causes an error invalid index after being opened and having "any" change applied and saved

I have a windows service written in vb.net 1.1 using vs 2003. I also have a crystal reports template version 8.0. I have recently been asked to modify this report by shifting a text object on the report about a centimeter over. I have done this and now the application throws an invalid index error on the following line of code :

.ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerUpper").SetText(strUpper)

The code in the service simply refrences report objects by name and sets text string for those text objects on the report template. I have not changed anything on the report. On the developement machine I have both crystal 8 and crystal 10 installed. the exact error I get is:  
Run-time exception thrown : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException - Invalid index

If mReportType = mdlGlobalVariables.rptReportType.rptCarton Then
            'TIM 11780 cmj 9/8/05 - removed subreport code
            With mReport.Sections("D")
                .ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerUpper").SetText(strUpper)
                .ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerLower1").SetTex(strLower1)
                .ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerLower3").SetTex(strLower3)
End With
        Else
            mReport.Sections("Header1").ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerUpper").SetText(strUpper)
            mReport.Sections("DisclaimerTrayLower1").ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerLower1").SetText(strLower1)
            mReport.Sections("DisclaimerTrayLower2").ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerLower2").SetText(strLower2)
            mReport.Sections("Footer").ReportObjects("TrayDisclaimerLower3").SetText(strLower3)
        End If
