Unsure if anyone on here could lend a hand, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Google wasn't too useful.
I have a report that I was working on all yesterday in Crystal Reports XI. I thought it was all good and working, so I closed the file (big mistake). Now, I try and open it again, and it's not letting me.
I get the following errors:
"An Ole object in this report could
not not be loaded. It has been
replaced with a blank object"
So then crystal tries to load my report with it's changes (I think), and then I get:
" This document could not
be opened. It does not appear to be a
Crystal Report document. This document
has the expected file extension
(.RPT), but it seems to be corrupted.
If this report used to work, try
opening it with a different version of
Crystal reports and if that still does
not work, please contact your
administrator".
I don't have another version of Crystal to check it with, and I'm pretty much the local admin for crystal, and I have no idea what to do.
Crystal wasn't letting me save over previous versions of this report yesterday, and now none of the 6+ versions I have are loading.
Can anyone suggest anything to help?

I got around this error by recreating the entire report.
I have no idea what the issue was, but after I spend 2 hours recreating it, it now works as intended.
I'm guessing that if anyone else receives the terminal Corruption error, they should just throw it away and start again.
