Crystal Report Permission Issue

We are using Crystal Report Export to PDF function. Below is the code sample

Dim rptDoc As New ReportDocument
rptDoc.Load(AppConfig.SitePath + "Form201.rpt")

ExportOptions rptExportOption;
DiskFileDestinationOptions rptFileDestOption = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
PdfRtfWordFormatOptions rptFormatOption = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
string reportFileName = filePath;
rptFileDestOption.DiskFileName = reportFileName;
rptExportOption = rptDocument.ExportOptions;
rptExportOption.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
rptExportOption.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
rptExportOption.ExportDestinationOptions = rptFileDestOption;
rptExportOption.ExportFormatOptions = rptFormatOption;

rptDocument.Export(rptExportOption);

We have given write permission to everyone on temp folder. And given read and execute permission to everyone on C drive of server. Normally it works fine but in week or 10 days suddenly we start getting error .

Load report failed.

Invalid file name.

at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename) at Testfile.GeneratePDF(Int32 cmpid)

This is the line causing the error

rptDoc.Load(AppConfig.SitePath + "Form201.rpt")

When we reapply read and execute permission for everyone on C drive of the server the issue is resolved.

Please suggest what permission we are missing as this issue reoccurs after every 7 to 10 days. Any help will be appreciated.

The error message reads "invalid file name." You should consider that your path may be malformed.

What value is in AppConfig.SitePath?

Try using Path.Combine, like this: 

var reportPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(AppConfig.SitePath, "Form201.rpt");
rptDoc.Load(reportPath);

That should ensure that your path is correctly formed.
