Thanks for your help Brian, I've just got it working. This may help you as
well Joseph

To get it working I created a virtual directory in IIS, at the web root
level called "crystalreportviewers" and pointed it to the C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\crystalreportviewers, I kept all
the default setting when creating it, then went to Properties and removed
the Application assosiation.

So this virtual directory looks like: www.mysite.com/crystalreportviewers

My Crystal .Net applciation resides at www.mysite.com/myapp

This is just to emphasise that the crystalreportviewers virual directory is
off the root, not a sub directory of the application's virtual directory.

Bob's your uncle it worked a treat....

Cheers
Chris
