R – ActiveX dependencies in Access

activexcrystal-reportsdependenciesdllms-access

I'm using the Crystal Reports Viewer 11 ActiveX control in an Access form (version 2007, 2003 format). Everything works well on my development machine, where I have CRXI installed. I copied the referenced DLL to the client's machine, but when I try to register it, it says "Can't find module" (I double- and triple-checked my spelling) and when I try to open the form it tells me "ActiveX component can't create object" when the code tries to create a new instance of the report object. I suspect there are more dependency files required by the DLL, but I'm a little at a loss as to what ones and how I go about finding out. Although I'm using the CR control, I assume this would apply to any ActiveX control throwing this error. Thanks.

There should be a runtime distribution document in your Crystal Help files - from past experience (Crystal 8.5) there are multiple files that you have to distribute and register.
