Report x works in Crystal Reports and other Crystal Reports work in the IFS instance.

When I went to check the Crystal Reports log for this instance there was no Crystal Reports log.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Restart IIS after adding the above permissions.
