Crystal Reports .NET Error - "Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it."

I encounter this problem several times, the way to get around this is to give "Everyone or Network Service " permission to "C:\windows\temp" folder. I gave everyone on my development box just for convenient.

I hope it will help you solve the same problem as I had.
