crystal shows all records when setting datasource at runtime v1.1

[Slonjo]

I don't know if this has been addressed in some other form/forum but
we tried what we thought was everything. I apologize if i'm being
redundant.

We build reports like so when they require passing parameters to limit
the results:

One person develops the report layout using a view.

The other person creates a datatable at runtime from a stored proc
call. The stored proc uses the same view that was used to design the
report. They then assign the datatable to the report datasource and
the report to a viewer.

Why? Not sure. I just like things compartmentalized I guess.

Anyway, this all worked great... until we deployed it. The reports
would ignore the results from the stored proc call and just always
return ALL results from the base view.

It worked on our dev machines but refused to work on any client config
we could find (aside from installing the .NET component update CD on
all the client machines. not an option)

For those of you that are trying something similar and find the report
displays ALL the design time datasource's results instead of those
from the run time datasource when deployed to the client...

Deploy these Visual C++ runtimes files into your app's directory:

msvcp70.dll
msvcr70.dll

crystal will find them and the run-time datasource will start working.

(RE: crystal.net deployment: wasn't something said about "no-more
dll-hell with .NET"? funny thing, i never experienced it until .NET)
