  Hello Ainars,
  
  Please share a stripped down sample of your application and a sample data source with us so we can replicate this behavior on our end.

  Hello Ainars,

  Please try adding GrapeCity.ActiveReports.config file to your project and set the Copy to Output Directory property of the config file to to Copy Always.

  A sample of the config file is available on the developer machine at C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 14.

  Please let us know if the issue still persists.

  Regards,
  
  Akshay
