Microsoft has an explanation and correction process to follow in the event of a Runtime Error 713 message. This message from Microssoft was previously published by them as Q248055. The error message should say: Run-time error '713': Application-defined or object defined error. The meaning of the message is that the Data Report run-time file (Msdbrptr.dll) was not included in your setup package. Thus you have received a run-time error, because you are distributing a Visual Basic application which includes a data report file, which you do not have.

I will explain the Microsoft correction briefly and advise you to go to the link below and follow the directions, warnings and advice from Microsoft.
Link to Support Microsoft.com If, the link fails copy and paste into your web browser.

Resolution: Microsoft has suggested two methods to make a correction. 1) Open the project and include a reference to Msdbrptr.dll file. The file is listed as Microsoft Data Report Designer v6.0in the References Dialog Box. If, you see the Microsoft Data Report Designer v6.0 more than once in a list, make sure you choose the reference file Msdbrptr.dll. Once you do this then you should be able to rebuild the setup package.
2) Manually you can include the Msdbrptr.dll file into the Package and the Deployment Wizard (PDW). Add the file manually into the Included Files
dialog box. When you run the PDW you can then rebuild your setup Package.

After your installation you should have the following files revealed on the target system:
\CommonFiles\Designers\Msderun.dll,\Msstdfmt.dll

Microsoft advises, if you still have a problem to make certain the files Msdatrep.ocx and Msbind.dll are included in your Package. These files, if missing can affect the Data Environment, which is used by your report.

Before you do anything I strongly suggest you go the Support Microsoft site and read all the information. If, you have any questions they will respond without delay. I use these technicians any time I have problem and they never fail me.
Good Luck and happy computing!
