Hi, I am unsure why I am getting this error "Invalid report file path"
Image: Click me to view image of error

I am 100% sure that the report is in the correct path, I even tried to put the entire path (e.g. C:\Users\IAmTheUser\Desktop\MyProject\Reports\MyReport.rpt

What I have tried:

C#

ReportDocument rptDoc = new ReportDocument();
       string strRptLoad = Server.MapPath("../Reports/MyReport.rpt");
       rptDoc.Load(strRptLoad);
       //rptDoc.Load("C:\\Users\\IAmTheUser\\Desktop\\MyProject\\Reports\\MyReport.rpt");

       DataSetPrintAll.spSelectReimbursePrintAllDataTable dt = new DataSetPrintAll.spSelectReimbursePrintAllDataTable();
       dtPrintAllAdapter printAdapter = new dtPrintAllAdapter();

       dt = printAdapter.GetData(transactionNo);
       DataSet ds = new DataSet();
       ds.Tables.Add(dt);

       rptDoc.SetDataSource(ds);
       crPrint.ReportSource = rptDoc;
       crPrint.DataBind();
       crPrint.DocumentView = CrystalDecisions.Shared.DocumentViewType.PrintLayout;
       crPrint.Dispose();

Are you sure those folders also exist? The problem can be caused if a folder is missing.

Yeah. It is included in my project.

Web servers generally do not have access to the entire file system.

Hi. I am still working locally. I tried debugging in my application server and other computers and I got the same error.

Nothing you said changes anything. You are working locally on a WEB SERVER.

Try the following;

C#

string strRptLoad = Server.MapPath("/Reports/MyReport.rpt"); //remove double dots ..

Generally when you specify Server.MapPath - it gives you the root of the application directory and then follow the folders inside.
You can use Server.MapPath from within any pages - does not matter whether those pages are within sub directories in the application or not - It will give you the root of the application directory and then you would have to guide through inner folders as in the example.

Hope this helps and don't forget to mark this as a solution if it works..

Cheers
