Crystal Report

Resolution/Fix/Answer

This "error" (Path not Found) is an error from the Crystal Viewer and does not affect the output of the report. As you noted, you can click OK on the error pop-up to make it go away (usually twice).

The error is to let you know that: if there is an error the Crystal Viewer does not know where to write an error file. Do you have a local file at C:\Temp ? If not, create one and the error should go away.

If you experience this problem and are unable to resolve, please submit a Service Desk ticket and reference this article.  Please provide the following information in your Service Desk ticket:
