Can't find reports when run as a service

rbuser

When I run my RB 7.02 report server as an EXE everything is great. The EXE
finds my RTM report volume "c:\reports"

When I run the same EXE as a server via the rbWinService the report server
can't locate the report volume.

Any ideas?

Thanks! - Jon Gray

1. Try running the main server demo as an rbWinService and see whether works
correctly. Compare it to your server app.

2. If you are using the ClientReportExplorer to test your server, note that
it tries to initialize itself to display the volume that was selected the
last time it was run. It stores this info in an .ini file. If you are
running the ClientReportExplorer within the Delphi debuggin environment, you
may see an exception - you can press the run button to continue. However if
you are running the ClientReportExplorer as an .exe this error is trapped
and the ClientReportExplorer will be displayed correctly.
