How do I open a Crystal Report from Microsoft Access?

I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how to launch a Crystal Report from a Microsoft Access application (for a dummy like me).
My Crystal Report uses a connection to the Access database as the data.
I have Microsoft Access 2002 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 CR Developer 12.
I'll need to know where to find the Visual Basic code references, and/or ActiveX Controls, if applicable.
Thanks
Janeen

I concur with Don. Just a bit of help - a sample VBA app is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006013432008E/rdc_vba.exe
But as Don mentioned, you will have to downgrade to CR XI r2 (or lower) to implement the above solution.

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

How to delete all the crystal reports from SAP B1 ?

Dear Experts,
I have one problem and I need to Delete all the Crystal PLD's and Crystal Reports from SAP B1.
I can delete a PLD or Report using delete option from Report and layout manager or layout designer.
But I need to select delete option for each PLD and It makes very time.I have some 200 Reports and I need to delete fully.
Is there any possible to multi delete option in SAP B1?
I have searched many but i will not receive proper solution. Any one can explain how to do This?
Thanks ,

Dear Karthikeyan,
Manual deletion is actually the most safe way to delete them. If you try update B1 tables directly, you are against SAP support rule.
Thanks,

Logon Screen when opening a Crystal Report from Add-on

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I've been trying to solve. I have an addon that opens a Crystal Report with the information that the user wants. I tried it in SBO using a SQL db and it worked without problems, but now I've test it in SBO using IBM DB2 db (the client has that db implemented) and the report doesn't open, instead of the report it appears a log in screen asking for the server name, database, user and password.
I've tried every possibility without success, it returns a message saying that my login is not correct, the thing is that all I've written in that login screen is the correct info, even tried many possibilities... and I can't access to the report!
I've searched lots of forums for an answer, but none of them helped me. Can anybody help me with this issue?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Mariana Mazzero

in case you do sure that is just lose some dll file,I think maybe you can create a install package by using Visual Studio.
you can create a form and put a crysyal object on the form. and use the wizard.
Visual Studio will auto collect all dll you needed.
than you can compare the file list,
or, you can just install the package on the standalone PC.
It's a stupid solution.
but, I think it is effective. :P

Performance issue - Open a Crystal Report from SAP BW

Hi,
I have an general question on the performance of Crystal Reports: We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2 in context with SAP BW 7.0. We don't have a BO XI. We use the BW as a central storage for our reports. Now we have the problem that the opening of some reports takes a long time. For expample one report needs ~13 secound an another > 5 minutes.
Where can be the problem? What happens in SAP BW when a report is called? And what can we do to make it faster?
Thanks for your informations!

Hi Ingo,
the value of MaxPickListSize is "c8".
Yesterday I have spent a lot of time to find the bottleneck. I have traced the SQL statements, which are performed from Crystal Reports / Integration Kit when I open a report. It might be the values for the parameters. That's our situation:
Crystal Reports
|
Query (restriced on Cube 1)
|
MultiProvider
- Cube 1
- Cube 2
- Cube 3
- DSO 1
The slow report is based on the BW Query and in the filter restricted to the Cube 1. If I open the report, all values for the parameters are read from all the InfoProviders under the MultiProvider (Cube 1, Cube 2 Cube 3 and DSO 1). The very big DSO 1, which is not used, increases the duration extremly. This may not be the desired behavior?! Is this a bug? I would expected that only the values are loaded from Cube 1.

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Printing Crystal Reports from UDO form

Dear Experts,
I want to open a Crystal report from an addon. I've already found [the following thread|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039424&start=0&tstart=0] and the [mentioned blog post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26720], and applied the solutions given there, but setting the parameters still does not work.
The report is opened, but the report gives me the message "Input string was not in a correct format", and asks for the parameter. When I enter the parameter, the report shows correctly.
My form is an UDO form loaded from XML, ObjectType set to my UDO. According to the latest answers, this ObjectType setting is the problem.
My code is the following:
Setting the form (the report is already imported into SAP, its DocCode is RCRI0002):
AddOn.Application.LayoutKeyEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_LayoutKeyEventEventHandler(SetPrinter);
SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesService rptTypeService = (SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesService)
     AddOn.Company.GetCompanyService().GetBusinessService(SAPbobsCOM.ServiceTypes.ReportTypesService);
SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypeParams rptParams = (SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypeParams)
     rptTypeService.GetDataInterface(SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesServiceDataInterfaces.rtsReportTypeParams);
rptParams.TypeCode = "RCRI";
SAPbobsCOM.ReportType updateType = rptTypeService.GetReportType(rptParams);
updateType.DefaultReportLayout = "RCRI0002";
rptTypeService.UpdateReportType(updateType);
SboForm.ReportType = "RCRI";
the eventlistener function:
public void SetPrinter(ref SAPbouiCOM.LayoutKeyInfo eventInfo, out bool BubbleEvent)
     BubbleEvent = true;
     if (eventInfo.ReportTemplate == "RCRI" && eventInfo.ReportCode == "RCRI0002")
          eventInfo.LayoutKey = "21"; //Set the key of the layout - hardcoded for testing
I work on version 8.81 PL08
Has anyone found a solution? Is there a solution on higher patch?
Thanks
Andrea

OK, so we returned to this problem, and now I managed to make it work on 8.82 PL11. And now I can't remember anymore how I tried it back then. Maybe I did not use the DocKey@ parameter in the Crystal report.
Anyhow, it looks like it works now.

Opening a Crystal Report in B1 8.8 in a User Defined Form representing UDO

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to open a Crystal Report from a User Defined Form representing my UDO?
I had developed a 'Vendor Quotation' UDO and its User Defined Form
I wanted to show the report while clicking the Preview menu in SAP B1 8.8 toolbar.
I have created the Crystal report and used the record selection as {@OVQT.DocEntry} = {DocKey@}
Please help
Also, is it possible to add Print layout and assign a default Print layout to this User Defined Form?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Arun

Hi,
I also face the same problem. I make a master type using UDO. But i want to print it.
In my opinion ( i haven't tried this way ). If we make a UDO ( master or document type ) , we will find the docentry and object field in our UDT. Both of these will connect between SAP form and Crystal report. In crystal report we select the tmsp_doclinetypelayout. It is a store procedure which will connect between SAP form and CR. Before that try to modify this SP by adding the udo object.
Fyi, if i'm not mistake dockey is connected to docentry SAP form.
Thanks

hi
this is the code that i am using in my application which is similar to urs. but i am working with CR XI so make all the neccessary changes.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;

                public void run()
                    createAndShowGUI();
   there are 23 jar files that u need to import into ur package. but remember that ReportViewerBean should be the first jar file in the list & it should be followed by jrcerom.jar
specify the key in the CRConfig.xml file (which also has to be imported in the package)
u can find these jar files in the common objects folder in your program files.
hope it helps. best of luck
