I have an application that runs Crystal reports and outputs them to PDF files in a windows folder.

There is a loop in the application ie:

for i = 1 to Customer.Count

ExecuteReport(i)

next i

The reports start to work fine, then it seems the page refreshes and then a second loop starts which produces duplicate reports for the first 10 or so Customers. Sometimes the app will complete and give exactly 2 copies of the reports for each Customer.

The DNN212 app retrieves data from a MS SQL database. I have copied the database and all related code (ascx, dll, etc) to a stansdalone pc and all works okay.

I think it is a refresh issue because I added extra WriteLine commands to output text to a file showing the stages it had reached, but the app blows out because the text file is already open and in use when the refresh tries to open it again - I get a DNN style error saying the file is in use.

Any help would be much appreciated, I am not an IIS/DNN expert.

Thanks

Ian

I too would recommend starting with Ian's recommendation.  it is possible that another control on the page is causing a postback and if you don't have the check for Not IsPostBack you could have issues with duplicate execution.
