Connection not saved - Crystal 11

Hi,
I am designing a report using Crystal 11.  From within the designer I am able to set up a connection to the database and preview the report.  I saved the report and attempted to launch it from a program using the crystal dll to display it.  However, when I launch the report I get a message stating
Logon Failed.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e4d
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: Login failed for user <username>
SQL State: 42000
Native Error: 18456
Not sure why it is not remembering the password.  I created the connection using a udl file on that machine - which works from wiithin the report - and run the program from the same machine. 
How can I get crystal to remember the password?
Thanks,
Jon

Stupid question time.  is the dll on the same box as the report?, if not, do you need to add a ODBC connection to
the box runnning the Dll.   I have found, "in my world anyway" that my reports server, and my development server, must
have the same ODBC connection.  So, if my db connection on the CR servers name is    FoUrTh
I must create the same ODBC connection on the reports server, and it must also be named FoUrTh.   Fourth, would not work.

  • Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

    Hey Guys,
    Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
    For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
    However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
    Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
    So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
    and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
    What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
    still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
    I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
    I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
    The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
    on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
    this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
    Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

  • Model Connection Not Saving

    Hi Everyone-
    I'm trying to create a model connection to the HFPBM model in order to view the sample scorecard. 
    When I go to manage models in the admin console, and fill out all of the credentials, I am able to successfully test the connection to the model.  However, when I go to save the connection, the model connection does not show up in the list of model connections (even though the dialog box said that the update was successful).
    Any insights as to why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I turned on the pip trace logging, and the following entries appear in the log for the tasks that I'm trying to do (saving model connection information):

    Note the error once SSM tries to save the model connection information.  Does anyone know why this may be happening?

  • INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED message with Crystal Reports 2011

    Hello:
         We upgrade from SQL 3008 R2 to SQL 2012 SP1.   Had trouble with Crystal Reports not opening reports.  Information on the internet indicated that you had to reinstall Crystal Reports after upgrading SQL.  We did a repair of Crystal Reports 2011.  I have the box checked to check for updates when Crystal Reports starts.  I am now getting INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED and the application will not check for updates.  We have tried turning of the firewall and almost everything else we can think of.  I have access to the internet from that server and IE9 works just fine.  Can anyone help, please.

  • Crystal Reports 8.5 not saving changes to report criteria

    When I use the formula editor to add new criteria to the report criteria formula, the changes are not saved when the report is closed.  It doesn't seem to matter how I exit the formula editor, and I've even tried "save as" and saving the report to a new name prior to closing.  When I reopen the report, the changes are gone.
    Sometimes the changes don't even last that long - they often disappear while doing a refresh. 
    Are there and known bugs that I haven't found - or better yet, any solutions?

    Hi Roberta.
    I've had this happen a few times as well.  Usually though a message will come up at some point in time saying.  If the report is locked when you open it, either because someone else has the same file opened in Crystal or if you open the report from an e-mail attachement, a message will come up saying something in the lines of the report cannot be saved and it must be saved to a new file. 
    When you do the Save As, where are you saving it to?  Try creating a new folder and saving it to that folder.  You should have full permissions to the new folder and I'm hoping it will save.  I just want to eliminate any problems with permissions.  After you save the file, check the properties of the file.  Did the file's date and time update or does it still have the original date? 
    When you open the report in Crystal, go to File on the menu bar and make sure Save Data with Report is not checked.  Make your changes and rerun the report and save it again.  See if that helps. 
    These are the two common problems I've had when this happens to me. 
    Hope this helps,
    Brian

  • ReportViewer Parameter area state not saved without to refresh in ie

    Hi from Germany,
    we have created a master detail report with 3 levels and some parameters defined. Connected are these 3 reports by drill throughs with "go to report"-actions. We use the report manager for the navigation to the reports.
    For a faster go back from a detail report to its higher level report again we added links in the header with go to url actions and the expression "javascript:history.go(-1)").
    It works great but in the ie (version 10 and 11, too) there is a not wanted behavior after the user has updated the parameter values and clicked on "Show report". The report is rendered now with the changed parameters fine BUT the parameter area
    is still opened.
        First question: Is there a way to collapse the parameter area also with the click on "Show report"-Button?
    Now users close often the parameter section and drill through to the next level report. When you go from there back (history.go(-1) or also with the browsers back-button) the report before opens but again with an displayed parameter area. It forgots that users
    have collapsed it before.
        2nd question: It seems that the last state with the closed parameter area was not saved (in the session?). Can someone explain me why and if there is a way to solve it?
    In firefox it works like we wanted. There is the parameter area collapsed automaticly after go back in history. It seems it is realy a bug in the ie.
    I have found out a workaround:
    when you close the parameter area in ie and click after it on the refresh-button on the reportviewer-toolbar then the collapsed state is registered and go back to this report opens it right with collapsed parameters. Also a refresh by the browser-button opens
    the report with collapsed parameters.
    It seems for me it is a bug, isn't it?
    Kind regards
    René
    René

    Hi René,
    If I understand correctly, you want to hide the parameter area when the report render in report server. I have create a simple report to test, however, I cannot reproduce the same issue.
    Based on my test, it has two situation when we go to subreport the parameter area cannot hide.
    If we are use “Go to URL” action jump to the subreport, it will not hide the parameter area.
    We have not pass the parameter value to the subreport, it will display the parameter area for us to choose parameter value.
    If you are not above situation, we can use “Go to URL”
    action to work around it. To add parameter (rc:Parameters, rc:Toolbar) in report URL to control the parameter area visibility. Please refer to the following URL:
    Http://ServerName/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx? %2fReportFolder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=Collapsed

  • Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or

    Hello all,
    I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
    with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.

    Hi Sonali,
    This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
    1. Save the database locally on server machine
    2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
    Steps to link the database.
    1.Create a new test database on server.
    2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
    3. Select all the tables from the database.
    4. Save the Database  e.g. Test.mdb.
    5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
    Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
    6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.

    Navin

  • Windows 7 (64bit) & Office 2010 (32bit) Excel 'Document not saved' over WAN to network drive

    Hi All
    We are currently in the process of upgrading all PC's on our WAN to windows 7 across multiple locations
    I know this has been asked numerous times but nothing is working for me.
    We are experiencing the dreaded 'Document not saved' error at only some locations (5 or 6 out of 200 for all users, these sites generally have slow network connections) when trying to save to a network share back at our HQ. it creates a .tmp file and leaves
    the original document intact but without the changes, changing the name of the document in save as doesn't work. saving locally and copying to the share works. We can save locally and to other onsite network shares. It constantly happens so the document can
    never be saved to that network share.
    Always worked on XP SP3 with Office 2010.
    the files in question are around 4mb. smaller excel files with no contenct do work.
    I have tried literally everything listed on all forums and nothing seems to resolve it...I've tried
    - the hotfix - doesn't apply to my enviroment and the offending KB aren't installed.
    - the network resiliency, pivot table network resiliency and Enable simply copy for UNC registry keys
    - disabling offline folders, windows search and indexing
    - disabling SMB2 on the client
    - turning off QOS on the IP4 settings.
    - trusted documents.

    My guess is me the issue points to Excel loosing connection to the network share when saving and then the .tmp becoming corrupt.
    Does any one have any ideas? Is there a way to sure the connection when saving? is there a way to force it to stay connected?
    any help highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello, We've been having this same issue, and I think we have a work-around.
    If we change HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\RequireSecuritySignature from "0" to "1" we still get the error message but the tmp file is NOT created. If the user tries to save again, it is then successful.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer Not Saving Downloaded Fonts

    Hi,
    we have recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer which needs to be used with a system that downloads fonts for correct style printouts. The problem I am having is the fonts download initially which is great, but they are not saved by the printer after 1 printout so the user is having to download the fonts everytime she wants to print something.
    All other printers in the office are HP2055 and work as expected saving the fonts after the initial download. I have asked the support team of the application to have a look at the situation and they say everything is setup correctly so it may be an issue with the printer. Printer is installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC.
    Firware version: 20121205 (15 Dec 2012)
    Driver Version: 61.140.04.14138 (1 Jan 2013)
    Any help would be appeciated, thanks.
    Robert

    If the downloaded soft fonts are definitely not being saved (despite the download presumably terminating with a 'make soft font permanent' escape sequence), then the problem must lie in the firmware - and the only resolution is if HP releases  a new version with a fix.
    To be certain about which PCL5 fonts are resident in the printer, you have presumably printed off a  'PCL5 Typeface List' via the relevant front panel menu (assuming this printer has one).
    Or you could send the following direct to the printer to invoke that report:
    <Esc>%-12345X@PJL COMMENT Print PCL Font List
    @PJL DMINFO ASCIIHEX = "040004010105020402015E"
    <Esc>%-12345X
     where <Esc> represents the non-graphic) Escape control-code character (the character with decimal code 27, or hexadecimal 1B), and each PJL statement is terminated with a LineFeed control-code (decimal 10, hexadecimal 0A).
    Assuming that the printer is USB-connected, you could send the contents of the file (name, say, testfile.prn) holding the above to the printer using the copy command in a command-prompt session:
    copy /b testfile.prn \\computer-name\share-name
     where:
    computer-name is the name of the host workstation
    share-name is a share name of the installed Windows printer instance.
    I don't have access to your model of printer, but I do use a LaserJet Pro 400 Colour MFP 475dn (MFP equivalent of M451 printer), and this does appear to retain downloaded 'permanent' soft fonts - but only until the device goes into 'sleep' mode!
    So it is probably a common 'fault' (or 'design decision'?) across this family (LJ Pro 400) of printers.

  • The messages sent with PC suite are not saved in m...

    I have a bluetooth device to connect my phone (Nokia 6233) to PC. When I'm trying to send a message everything goes perfect (the message is sent) only one problem appear: the message is not saved in my phone.
    Any ideas for this problem?
    Why the messages sent with PC suite are not saved in my phone?

    there may be differencies between phone models here (S60 devices or S40 devices, you have S40). Also if I recall right, it used to be so that some older versions of PC Suite did not save the PC sent sms's to phone.
    However, with my N95 the messages are saved. So make sure you have the latest Pc Suite and then try again. If it fails, then it might be that message saving is not supported with S40 phones (Anyone having a S40 phone could verify this)

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.
    rene

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.
