R – How to re-import a subreport into Crystal reports 9.0 without getting an Access Denied error

crystal-reports

I'm using Crystal Reports 9.0. It has a subreport which is shared by 2 master reports. I modified the subreport as a result of fixing one of the master reports. When I try to re-import that subreport into my 2nd Master report I'm getting the error: Access denied then Re-importing the subreport failed.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? The 2 master reports and subreport are all "checked" out so it's not a ready only issue. Also when I first say re-import it tells me the file could not be found (pointing to a long dead file path) and I'm required to select it.

Do you have both the master reports open at the same time?

If so maybe closing the one you already refreshed, and trying it again. It seems like it has a lock on it for some reason.
