exporting to excel "no dlls found"

From terminal services i am trying to export a crystal report 8.5 to an excel file. When i click on export and then select excel an error pops up saying "no dll's found" and that is it. The funny thing is, I have crystal reports 8.5 loaded to my workstation and it works just fine. I am not using terminal services though, (I have crystal loaded locally) but even when i try it from the server that is running terminal services, i get the same error msg. I am almost positive that crystal reports 8.5 was loaded the exact same way to my machine as it was to the server. Does anyone know of a way that i can fix this problem.Make sure the Export dlls are installed in: C:\WINNT\Crystal (or similar if you're using a different OS)

Also, keep in mind that Crystal requires 2 dlls for export, one for the Export Type (pdf, Excel, etc) and one for the Destination (app, disk, etc). Look for the runtime.hlp file that came with Crystal. It will tell you which files you need to have installed for the type of Exporting you want to do.|||You wouldn't happen to know the name of the 2 dll files, I checked crystal reports support site and it says to Copy the export DLLs to the Windows\system directory. The export DLLs are the u2*.dll files. When i do a search on the install disk i find several u2*.dll files here is a list of them.
I'm guesing it is u2fxls.dll, u2fxml.dll but i want to be sure.

u252000.dll
u25dts.dll
u2dapp.dll
u2ddisk.dll
u2dmapi.dll
u2dnotes.dll
u2dpost.dll
u2dvim.dll
u2fcr.dll
u2fdif.dll
u2fhtml.dll
u2fodbc.dll
u2frdef.dll
u2frec.dll

u22l2000.dll

Any other ideas would be greatly appreicated. Thank you.|||Try looking up the exact error message and/or error number on Google (or another search engine) or Crystal's Website (http://support.businessobjects.com/search/default.asp).|||hi guys!

im using an vb app that used crystal report 8.5 and installed in several client pc... but if im exporting the files it doesnt work... nothing was happen... do i need to install also a crystal report software in every pc to install the required dll's?

thank you very much!|||benjz -

Did you read this post? You have to have the correct export dlls installed on the client machine in order for Export to work. (To install the dll, just copy and paste it into the directory listed above. Also, make sure you include those dlls in your setup file as they may have dependencies that I don't about)

Also, if you post your own question (instead of adding it to an existing post), you'll get a better response. (Click the 'New Thread' button on the main page of this forum.)
