• Windows OS
• Visual Studio 2010
• Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, RTM

• Use the ReportDocument.ExportToDisk() method to export a report to Crystal Reports format.

m_ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.CrystalReport, "C:\\windows\\temp\\~crystal.rpt");

• This error is thrown purposely because the report attempting to be exported is Crystal Reports Read Only (*.rptr).
• To protect the security of the RPTR format, you cannot export it to Crystal Reports format.
• RPTR files cannot be opened in the Crystal Reports designer. They can only be previewed in the Crystal Reports Viewers, or exported to other formats.

• Contact the original report designer to get a copy of the RPTR file as RPT.
