Altered Crystal Report Error: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 208 ]'

Having recently altered the report when I try to run it, the following error message is produced: Error in File User ... Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 208 ]

If you have recently amended a Crystal Report and receive the following error when trying to run it, this is caused by the report alteration:

"Error in File User ... Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 208]"

Resolution

Revert to the copy of the Crystal Report you made before you amended it.
