The request could not be submitted for background processing??

Question

I am getting the following error using Crystal Reports 10.5 on my development machine. The report was working fine this morning in my testing and now I get this error

Error in File C:\DOCUME~1\UserNameHere\LOCALS~1\Temp\BarLabel {052E0DE7-59FA-4C55-B293-316F7DFE8531}.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing

I am not sure what caused the problem or how to fix it. I have deleted the temp files and that didn't do anything. I also gave the "Network Service" account on the computer list priveleges as I saw that fixed an error similar to this in CR 9.0 and that didn't seem to help either.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

I'd say do away with Crystal Reports completely and try Active Reports or some other similar software. From my research into this problem, it seems that people are finding this to be a CR bug and it doesn't appear that Business Objects is going to fix this issue anytime soon. I say f that CR garbage and go with a real solution.

Answer 2

It turns out the error was an internal error of CrystalReports. I was using a BarCode font that didn't exist on the server. The error is non descriptive but was due to something wrong with the report and not the CR runtime
