Visual Basic 6 with Crystal Reports on Windows 10

I wonder if I can get some help migrating a VB6 project with Crystal 8.0/8.5?  These are windows' 10 PCs.

The reports are working in the development machine but the production machine keeps having problems with an 20599 error.

I checked the ODBC 32bit connection and that is connecting fine.

What method are you using to call the reports?
Is it the RDC or the OCX?

Crystal does use 2 virtual folders for building the reports.  I forget which they are.
Have you tried using a local admin account to run the application and the reports?

You are trying to use 20 year-old technology.  CR 8 was built with Windows 95/97 in mind
.
It may be necessary to upgrade from CR8 and VB6 to VB.Net and CR for Visual Studio.

What database are you connecting to?

I will try that and see what happens.

Thanks,
Found the problem,

ODBC connections with the development machine use different parameters versus the production for some reason, and so I updated the ODBC connection and it works now.

Thanks for the help with the debugging code.
Thanks for all the help and the quick response.
