Crystal locks rpt files

Hi all,
I've found out that the Crystal VCL retains the lock on the rpt file even
after the job has finished execute. I need to delete the rpt after the
print. I've tryed CloseJob and/or CloseEngine but none of them helps.
BTW, why doesn't CloseEngine unload the dlls? Is this a known bug bug?
Ciao,
Gianandrea.

I have not found this to be the case in CR7 or CR8, at least, with VCL751.

This happens if you modify dinamically the parametrs or the SQL.

Did you try sending a CloseJob at the end?

Re:Crystal locks rpt files

Sorry dor the delay, but I've been out to a client site...
Yes, we tryed closejob and even closeengine but with no results.
I'm finding the Crystal framework unpredictably weak. I have some
installations where everything goes smoothly, and others where thing crashes
pretty quick. We've tryed to do a porting to CR 8: things got slightly
better but the problems remained.
Looks like it depends also from the OS: with NT SP5 things are better than
with 2k.
We have developed a small program that demontrates that the bug is due to
Crystal,
whoever is interested can ask me the exe/sources.
Ciao,
Gianandrea.
