    Ajay,

    Ok, I tested it and althoug I can now get the app to Run, I cannot get the
    reports to run when I simply place all the files in the mapped folder. Are
    you absolutely positive the CR dll's do not need to be registered on the
    client machine? Below are the exception results I get tryingto execute a
    report in this manner. Note all the Crystal dll's are placed directly in the
    application mapped drive folder

    thanks,

    JIM
