Accessing Page Setup Aborts Crystal Reports

CR Version: 12.0.0.683
OS Version: Vista Business
Visual Studio 2008
.Net Framework 3.5
Regardless of whether I am in VS or just CR, if I click on Page Setup to change the orientation of a report I am trying to build, Crystal Reports will abort and shut down. When in VS 2008, it closes that application as well.
I've installed all known updates to my machine and I've searched the CR Website but have found no further updates for CR.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so was a solution found?

The problem is now solved.
I opened my printer browser through Control Panel. I opened every printer I had. One would not open. I deleted this printer and used Server Properties to completely remove the driver and package.
I tried CR 2008 / Page Setup but the program died again.
I went back through all printers and one by one opened them up again. This time, I noticed one printer had a message that the driver needed to be updated. I updated the driver, tested CR and all is well.
Thanks so much for pointing me into this direction. I was at a complete loss.

Unable To Print or Access Page Setup in Crystal Reports 2008

I have Win 7 32 bit, and installed Crystal Reports 2008 last week (v12.0.0.683 from the Help window).
Every time I open a report, and from the Preview tab clicking File -> Print, or File - > Page Setup, I immediately receive a Windows message that "Crystal Reports has stopped working". After a few seconds, another Windows message displays "Crystal Reports has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then Crystal completely closes.
I downloaded sample reports from the BO website, and still receive the error, so I don't think it's the report.
When I view the Event Log, I see the following:
Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.0.0.683, time stamp: 0x47c8be9a

I have uninstalled and reinstalled CR 2008 multiple times and continue to receive the same error. I tried updating to SP1 (Version 12.1.0.892 Incremental) but I receive the following error: "A BusinessObjects product at a lower patch level is detected. The installation cannot continue. Please update all installed products to the SP1 patch level, then restart this installation".
Need to print my reports - any ideas?

Sorry busy on Support cases and they take precedence over this community forum.
Very interesting....
In a test application I use I have this routine to get the local printers:
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
     if (System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count > 0)
          foreach(String myPrinter in System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters )
               cboCurrentPrinters.Items.Add(myPrinter);
          cboCurrentPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoCurrent.Enabled = false;
          EnableDisableCurrentControls(false);
     //For printers exposed to System account as per MS Kbase
     //http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184291
     //Look to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
     Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey mySystemPrinters =
          Microsoft.Win32.Registry.Users.OpenSubKey(@".DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices");
     foreach (String defaultPrinters in mySystemPrinters.GetValueNames())
          cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Add(defaultPrinters);
     if (cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Count > 0)
          cboDefaultPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoDefault.Enabled = false;
Note the MS Kabse on where the printer registry is. Now the odd part is on one of my test development PC's it won't populate the Default User Printer list, only the Local User Printers. I take this same app to another PC and it works just fine. The register keys are there but for some reason on my Windows 7 64 bit it won't show them, the other strange part is I have full access to both keys. I have not been able to figure out why this happens...
I'm thinking this may be related to your issue.... But I don't have a solution, very strange... I've even gone into regedit32 and set full permissions on the various keys and it still doesn't work...
I have other VM-ware images if I need to get past that part for testing so I never drilled into why, I believe it has to be some Windows/Firewall/Anti-virus configuration or something our IT department pushed into my local Profile.... What that is I don't know unfortunately.
I'll do some looking and testing. You may want to post this on Microsoft forums as well.... Ask about printer permissions.
Thanks

Move data from web page to a crystal report

I am using Crystal Reports 10 and Dreamweaver to create an asp page. I would like to know how to access a crystal report from the asp page and pass the data that is on the asp page to the crystal report. Is this possible?

There is also a very specific sample found on the Diamond site that was originally written by some one in support that should be very useful.<a href="/node/494">http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/494</a>This sample takes an ADO recordset and passes it to a report at runtime. The sample also displays the report in an ASP page. The only change you would need to make is to populate ADO recordset with data from the web form. Sorry I don't have a sample to do that. Rob Horne

Exporting or Printing each page of a Crystal Report to a separate pdf file.

Is there a way to export or print each page of a Crystal report to a separate pdf file? If possible, I would look to use the family nunmber field in my report as the file name. This is not required, but would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
Standalone CR Designer doesn't have the ability but CR Server or BOE does. Or if you have a .NET or Java you could write an app that would spit out one page at a time.

When i trie to connect my Reports on CR 2008, the connection doesn't work.
I have install SAP Integration Kit but it doesn't work because an error message says me that i've already install a Webserver for Crystal Reports Server 2008.
My Webserver is on IIS 6
My Database for CRS 2008 is SQL Server 2000.
Do you have any idea why it doesn't work ?

The process cannot access the file during Crystal Report export

We are exporting crystal reports into PDF using ExportToHttpResponse (code snippet below)
      // Getting the type of the report file which has been selected by the user. (which will be REPORT CLASS type)
Type objType = Type.GetType("WebApplication1.Reports." + ReportName);
ReportClass SEPREport = (ReportClass)Activator.CreateInstance(objType);
// GetTypedDataSet()returns an instance of typed data set.
SEPREport.SetDataSource(GetTypedDataSet());
SEPREport.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, true, ReportName );
Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0.
Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:

Unable to Access BI InfoSet in Crystal Reports using SAP Info sets driver

Hi,
I am looking to develop a report on top of BI InfoSet in Crystal Reports. However using the the SAP InfoSets driver I am only able to visualize 'Classic InfoSet' and 'SAP Query'. It does not show the option to import the regular InfoSet as a datasource. I am unable to access the InfoSet built by the db join on InfoCubes that is available in SAP BW System.
Can anybody help.
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi all,
i know this discussion is abaout 2 years old, but i faced a similar problem. I try to get access to the regular InfoSets (SQ02) within a direct connection between SAP and Crystal Reports. Which components and tools did i need to get a connection?
look here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3365060
Thanx for your help!

Can I access Infoset variable from Crystal Reports

Hi,
In order to connect Crystal Reports 2008 to the SAP environment I have the Integration kit.
I have learnt that Crystal also offers InfoSet driver to connect to SAP.
If I need to access SAP BI- Infoset variables inside Crystal Reports is it possible to do that. If no, then do I need to have the filter using the variable value instead of the fixed filter value?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Amogh.

Hi Amogh,
the InfoSet connectivity that Crystal Reports offers as a direct Infoset connectivity is towards the classic InfoSets from ERP.
see here:
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/07/businessobjects-and-sap-part-i
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
In case you want to connect to an InfoSet in a BW system you would put a BW query on top of the InfoSet and then use the BW Query in Crystal Reports.

8x6 page size in crystal reports

Hi All,
I have created 8x6 page size for printing of voucher in crystal reports. While taking print when I select this size it takes as landscape. When I change it to portrait it changes size as 6x8.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks & Regards,
Sheetal

Oh dear I fear you are having the same problem I have which is if you create a report where the vertical dimensions are greater than the horizontal dimensions it switches it automatically to landscape.
Sadly I have not found a solution yet as you can read in my post Printing Problem
Hopefully somebody can help us both out.

Accessing Lotus Notes from Crystal Reports in AIX

Hi BO world
We've installed the BO Enterprise Server on an AIX 5.3 platform and we want to connect this BO server to a Lotus Domino Server (version 8 on a Windows Server Platform ) to show the data on Crystal Reports. The problem is that we can't find any information about how to make this connection to use the Crystal Report INSIDE the InfoView (of course we can export the RPT file and use it with the Crystal Report Viewer but the idea is run the report inside the InfoView).
In our PC's we have installed the Lotus Notes Client and the corresponding ODBC client (Lotus Notes SQL) and the crystal reports work correctly (accessing to the LNotes Server) BUT, when we start looking for any ODBC for AIX to connect to the Lotus Notes and we can't find any tool to do this.
Could you give any idea o "something" to solve this problem? Let's say
   - Which is the version of ODBC/JDBC driver we have to install in the AIX server to access the L.Notes on the Windows Platform?
   - Should we install the Crystal Report Server in another server (let's say a Windows Server with the corresponding ODBC)
   - Others?
Any help will be great !
Kindly Regards, gdmon.

Hello,
Moved this to the BOE forum.
If AIX and Lotus do not have an ODBC driver then I suspect your only option would be to have a Windows BOE install to process those reports so you can use the Windows ODBC driver.
This is a requirement for Crystal reports to connect. If Lotus doesn't support AIX connectivity then we can't either.
Possibly the BOE forum has some configuration options for you...
Thank you
Don

Handling page breaks in Crystal Reports XI when exporting to Excel

We generate reports in Crystal Reports and programmatically export them to Excel for our end users, so the user receives both an .rpt and .xls version. We are upgrading from Crystal 8.5 to Crystal XI and have found with some of our reports that the page breaks in Excel are different in Crystal XI than in 8.5. The first page will fill to the end and then the next page will contain a few lines of data, the next will be full and the next will contains a few lines. Viewing the Excel page breaks, there are soft breaks before the short pages and hard breaks before the long pages. It's as if there is too much data defined for each page so it spills onto the next page before creating another hard page break. In Crystal 8.5, the paging was continuous as expected. Is there any way to fix this in Crystal XI?

Please note, this forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
As the issue you are encountering is in the CR designer, please post your query to the Crystal Reports Design forum at:
SAP Crystal Reports
I'd also suggest adding more detail to your query; version of Crystal Reports used, is this an upgrade issue, new report issue, etc., etc.
Thank you for your understanding,
Ludek

How to get the Report Page count using crystal reports 2008

Hi,
I have to implement a business logic where in i will have to display the no. of pages generated for the report
Say for e.g. crytal report that's generated spans 25 pages in the report.
Then i will have to display a message to the user after the report generation something like "25 Pages generated"
So, how would i get this report page count so that i can fetch the value and display the same to the user.
Any sample code snippet would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance

Ramnath

Hi,
I am using crystal reports 2008 and i visited the link forwarded in your previous mail and got the solution for getting the lastpagenumber of the report.
nPages = crReport.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber(New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext)
but, i don't find FormatEngine property for ReportDocument object.
I just wanted to know whether this property is availale in crystal reports 2008 or should i even install any service packs for this.
Please find below the namespaces that importing in my class
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Imports CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.ViewerObjectModel
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext
Please let me know how can i get the formatEngine property for reportdocument object

Setup for Crystal Report

Hi,
I had to build setup for my VB.Net add-on, which has crystal report in it.
I built the setup using Crystal merge modules.
But, when I install the add on for the first time, it pops the message- "There is another version of the program which is already installed"
I tried building it N different times, with N different names for Add-ons, exe.
Nothing worked out. I tried cleaning up the add-on folder, registry, but the problem is not solved.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Geetha,
Are you using the B1DE to create your addon installer? If so, try changing the Product Code property of the Setup project.
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. You might be better asking this question on the development forum rather than here (as this is application focused).
