Crystal Reports not prompting for parameters

Question

I have a program to churn through some data that uses 3 reports.. recently our network admin upgrade a server to Win 2012 R2. That server is a slightly newer version of crystal reports. My program uses Version=13.0.2000.0.

Since the upgrade to the new server, my 3rd report, which relies on user entered parameter values no longer prompts the user for the values and shows a blank crystal report viewer. The report works fine locally on my machine.

Curious if anyone has run into this problem? Hopefully. Any ideas / Solutions?

Thanks.

Well after 2 days of searching a co-worker pointed me to this blog post -->

Add the report viewer folder to the project and copy in that bit to the webconfig to point to the new folder. I would like to know why this occured, and I will continue digging to figure it out - but for now the problem is solved. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks.
