Yes, it works just fine in the lab ... see my reply to Helen

The change is a completely new install into a production environment,
where everything is on a corporate domain. My lab, where all of the
testing is done, is a private workgroup, although I do have a Compaq
Proliant 3000 Server with Win2k Server installed. The production
install is on completely different hardware, and on a different
network. The prod. network consists of Win2k Servers and Clients. We
use DHCP and are on a domain.

I have gone as far as giving the clients Power User access locally,
and also given their domain profiles Power User access on the app
server (temporarily). Still no solution.

The crystal reports is the redistributable Report Design Component
(RDC), which is a set of DLLs called by the app when it's running...
meaning I don't know because I can't run the app.

Good questions! Thanks for any further suggestions you have.
