Export to Excel alignment off after Windows 2003 upgrade

Hi All,
I have an application that uses Crystal Reports 10(sp6) and VB6 that has worked fine for a few years and now that I have upgraded the server to Windows 2003 the alignment of the excel output is off. All pages (45 of them) get printed on their own row in the output xls file. The report gets filled in during the execution of the VB6 executable and then gets exported to PDF and then to excel. PDF is fine but the excel output is unacceptable. I've been playing with the different exportoptions and cannot seem to get the alignment I need. Basically we need the rows and columns to align.
In further testing I have exported the report with data (our original rpt file is just a shell that we fill in with data) to a crystal reports file. I then have taken this report through the Crystal Reports 10 IDE and was able to export it and the output looks exactly like I need it to. So I'm sure there is settings to accomplish the output.
This is the original code:
With My_Crystal_Report
    .ExportOptions.Reset
    .ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTExcelDataOnly
    .ExportOptions.ExcelMaintainColumnAlignment = False
    .ExportOptions.ExcelUseFormatInDataOnly = True
    .ExportOptions.ExcelConstantColumnWidth = CDbl(800)
    .ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
    .ExportOptions.DiskFileName = filePath & ".xls"
    .Export (False)
End With
Here are the settings when I run the report through the Crystal Reports 10 IDE:
- Custom: Data is exported according to selected options
- Constant column width (in points): 36.0
- Export object formatting
- Maintain relative object position
- Maintain column alignment
One thing I was wondering is that there are different versions of Visual Studio including VS2008 and I was wondering if the Crystal Reports that gets installed with them could be interfering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a setting that I'm missing in the code, registry, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
The only other difference I found as far as I could see was the following two files:
CRXF_XLS.dll
CRXF_XLS_RES_EN.dll
Once loaded into the bin directory they are no longer a difference but output is still the same.
There are other differences as far as Only In CRW32.EXE (only Crystal Reports differences by description)
CRXF_HTML.DLL 10.0.5.75
CRXF_HTML_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.75
CRXF_RTF.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_RTF_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_WORDW.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_WORDW_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.604
U2FCR.DLL 10.0.0.552
U2FTEXT.DLL 10.0.5.604
X3FCREN.DLL 10.0.0.552
X3FTXEN.DLL 10.0.5.603
Do you think that a possible way to fix this would be to I uninstall Crystal Reports and reinstall without the sp6 and then find out which sp was installed on current windows 2000 server and install that and see what I receive for output?
I have been spending way to much time on this and really need to bring the customer in so that they know we have this level of an issue. Do you also think maybe we should open a ticket? I don't know if this is feasible as you mentioned there is no support for Crystal Reports 10.
Thanks,
Jim

Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015

Hi
Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
Thanks

When Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam won't work after Windows 7 upgrade

My webcam doesnt work after Windows 7 upgrade. I have installed the drivers but still having no luck

Hi
The webcam is listed in device manager under the Imaging devices
There you should see USB Video Device.
If its not listed there, then I think that the device malfunctions or its disconnected.
The webcam is an usb device and its connected to USB controller.
I read in different threads that in some cases the cable could be loose and therefore the webcam would not be listed in device manager.
I such case the display lid needs to be disassembled and the cables should be checked.
In my opinion its a job for an technician.

Skype does not recognize my headset after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi everyoneSkype stopped recognizing my headset after Windows 10 upgrade. I've tried the solution deactivating the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option. No success. The headset works on my other Windows 8.1 laptop and my Cellphone. Other applications, including Windows 10 microphone setup for speech recognition work. Here is something strange though. When I open up Skype audio tools and tap the microphone between thumb/finger Skype detects this and shows 4/5 green bars. Any ideas?

Your upgrade haven't changed the drivers properly.
1. Just go to Device Manager and delete the audio drivers.
2. Then restart your pc and switch on the internet.
3. Your drivers will be automatically installed by Windows Update.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

2013 Excel WFservlet.xls check exports to Excel and opens blank Windows 7 Ent

HI All,
I am trying to work through an issue involving an online check through Accounts payable downloading to a blank Excel document. If the user saves the file it opens as it should but if she chooses to open it, it opens blank. If I go to View>Arrange
All> leave the Tile selected (basically do nothing but click OK) and click OK it opens. I have done an Office repair with no luck and also a complete uninstall then used the office removal tool then reinstalled with reboots in-between and still no change.
This computer is on a domain and I can get the check to export to excel without any issues on another computer so I know it's not her roaming profile. I can get it to work on my machine and others as me, admin and her but on her machine no luck. I have opened
IE settings on her machine and a working machine and matched the settings exactly as well as Excel settings. I have started Excel in safe mode and exported but no luck. I have disabled all add ins in excel and added the site to compatibility settings and trusted
sites in IE. I reset the browser and deleted history with all options selected.
In the beginning I was receiving the error "The file format and extension of ".xls" don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?" I checked the following
In Windows Explorer Tools > Folder Options > View tab > made sure "Hide extensions for known file types" was unchecked.
I also did
Open your Registry (Start -> Run -> regedit.exe)
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\12.0\EXCEL\SECURITY
Right click in the right window and choose New -> DWORD
Type “ExtensionHardening” as the name (without the quotes)
Verify that the data has the value “0″
No luck.
If I log into the computer as local admin or my domain account it still opens blank.

The file will open in Chrome but I am wondering if that's because Chrome downloads the file as if I choose to save the file opens fine. I am going to run the OffCAT will post my findings.
Thank you!

Export to Excel not working after upgrade to IE10

I upgraded to Internet Explorer 10. In PWA Export to Excel does not export the data. It starts up Excel but the sheet is blank. Worked fine with IE9. How to fix?

Hi All,
Use the below workaround so that clicking the export button will work similarly to how it does with previous IE versions and such.
1. Open the Windows registry editor (regedit32.exe) and take a backup of the registry
2. Go the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\excel.exe
3. Here, you’ll see a string value named “useURL”
4. Rename this value to something else. For example “useURLx”
Post this change, you should be able to use the Export to Excel functionality. When you click the button, you’ll get a message from IE asking if you want to Open, Save or Save As the XLS file and you can choose Open. You’ll then see the “normal” prompt
within Excel about whether or not you want to open the file even though the contents don’t match the file extension.

We did not take the system export before that .
Here is the situtaion :
He has detach the database and SAN . Install Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 . after this we have attached the database and SAN both ,
Now do we need to delte all the old SAP installation files from the SAN or we can just install the Central Service Instance and we will be good ? Do we need to do the rest of the instllation like Database Instance installation ,First MSCS Node ,Additional MSCS node etc...
What is the best way to install the SAP system on it with all the data . We have the data files and system files available with us .
Appriciate your quick help on this .
Thanks ,

Thanks ,

Ideapad z400 touch after windows 10 upgrade

I am using the ideapad z400 touch and have been upgraded to windows 10. "Intel graphics card => I reinstalled the windows 8.1 driver from lenovo site", and my brightness problem is solved. I am facing the problem with the intel HD graphics 4000 display driver that I install from lenovo site. The driver seems like not fully compatible with windows 10. My screen will turn off after 5 minutes and when I move the mouse to wake it up I face the problem, the screen will freeze for a while and start to wake up and showed me the message "intel display driver.....has stopped responding and has recovered" This happens everytime after my screen turn off. Besides, my pc can't go to sleep mode. When I select sleep for my pc, the screen went black and it takes a long time to sleep but actually it is not, then it will shut down on its own. I have to press the power button to turn it on again. I think this problem is also related to the display driver. I have no problem with this display driver on windows 8.1. Will Lenovo come out the new driver that compatible with windows 10 from Lenovo site? The latest operating system they provide the drivers is untill windows 8.1. If they do not support the windows 10 driver I will roll back to windows 8.1 with no choice but I sincerely hope that I can keep using windows 10 on my pc I like it. Microsoft gives us one month time to roll back to windows 8.1. I don't know can I upgrade to windows 10 again if I found that Lenovo comes out their new drivers

Vaio SVT13134CXS doesn't start after windows 10 upgrade

Hi, I've upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to 10 and at boot stage the mouse cursor and loader icon are showed. i've seen that is not recommended do the update yet, but it's too late . Anyone know how can I make my laptop usabe again? I'm very grateful with any help. cheers

Hi ebordon,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
I am sorry to hear your issue but let's try to isolate this. Hopefully will be able to boot your unit to Windows. Since this is a U.S. model, these steps are applicable to your unit.
Remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button or pinhole on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds.
Reset BIOS.
Safe Mode.
If you're planning to roll back to the previous operating system, please visit this page: How to go back to a previous version of Windows after Windows 10 has been installed.
For other concern and for further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Regards,
Vincent
