A lot of times people will find out that the security changed on them and their report no longer has access to the database. Have you checked security?

Hi
 
I am having exactly the same problem using Version 9.
We have installed a new server running Server 2003 (previuosly 2000) with the same server name and now none of my Crystal Reports will run. The initial error message is "Failed to open a rowset."
 
I have checked security and I have full acces rights - any ideas?

I thought exactly the same, then i found out that the role that held the permissions hadnt copied across. Double check everything. The only other thing to try is making sure you give rights to each of the tables/views if using the Pull method. this gives a function that will do that for all report tables and sub report tables http://aspalliance.com/490

Good luck :)
