Crystal 2008 and VBA in excel 2003

We have currently crystal reports in VBA form in excel 2003 using Crystal XI Release 2. when I tried to migrate this report to "Crystal Report 2008 SP2" in VBA, I only found following reference 12.0 library
Crystal Activex Report Viewer Library 12.0 (Crviewer.dll)
but I couldn't find any reference library for (Craxdrt.dll) for crystal XI Release 2 it use to be
"Crystal reports Activex Designer Run Time Library 11.5";
so If i use 12.0 CRViewer.dll in VBA then I can create report object for it if "Craxdrt.dll"; is missing.
thanks

Post Author: tecboy
CA Forum: Exporting
Just upgraded Office 2003 to SP3. When exporting a Crystal 8.5 report to Excel 2003..I now receive an error message...file error data may have been lost crystal...i click ok then the Excel spreadsheet opens. all the data appears to be there. I have tried switching between extented and not and also tried switching between application and disk file...same results...SP3 for Office changed something...Just trying to determine what i need to correct to make this error go away...

Yes and no.....I replaced the export dll for Excel with a newer one...the newer dll removed the error message but the layout of the exported crystal reports was screwed up...so i went back to older version. I think it may have something to do with the default speadsheet or tab name that Crystal Reports creates that SP3 for Excel doesnt like...If i recall...i ran into something similar when i was on Crystal 7 and upgrade to Office 2003....

DAQmx VBA for Excel 2003

Hi,
I'm trying to control a NI6128 via VBA. I'm using Excel 2003 and tried several of the samples I found in the developer Zone, none of them seem to run. I think there is a fundamental error somewhere.
But, the VB6 drivers suppose to run under VBA and that is suppose to work under Excel 2003?
Peter

Check out some of these links about programming in VBA. You might have to make some of your own code, I haven't been able to get those examples to run either.

Can't open an Excel doc (w/ macros and VBA) in Excel 2011 for Mac. Anyone have any ideas (other than using a pc instead)?

Hi all,
I am trying to open a document created in Excel in Windows on my Excel 2011 for mac copy. The issue seems to be related to using the Macros and VB associated with the .xlsm doc. The specific error I get in Excel is:
Compile error in hidden module: Utilities
When I try to open it in an Excel web app, or other online excel environment (whether using Firefox or Chrome) I get this message:
We can't show these features in the browser:
VBA Project
Shapes or other objects
few other forums suggested an issue with adobe add-ins, but I don't show one in the Excel>Tools>Addins dialogue.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The same error message will result from a problem in any add-ins ,thus you should investigate other installed add-ins. It is worth the effort to try to start your excel program in safe mode. About how to use safe mode in Mac OS, Please refer to :http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892428
If this issue is gone in this situation, try to disable add-ins in excel.
In addition, since this issue is related to Excel 2011 for Mac, I would suggest that you post your issue in the following forum:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 and parameter fields

Hello,
I saw this product on the main Crystal Reports site this afternoon and decided to download it to try it out. I have a number of users who would benefit from being able to preview their report results prior to actually running the report. This seems like the perfect product. I have a large number of Crystal Reports which were created in Crystal version XI. I also downloaded the free 30 day version of Crystal Reports 2008 yesterday to see what new features are there.
While testing Crystal Reports Viewer, I tried to run one of my reports which needs a parameter to run properly (account number). This type of parameter is needed for probably 98% of this business' reports.
The problem: Crystal Reports Viewer does not prompt me to input the parameter. In my actual Crystal Report, I had the box "Save Data with Report' left unchecked, as the account number frequently changes. However, if that box is left unchecked, Crystal Reports Viewer will give me the error message "No Saved Data. This report file does not contain saved data and cannot be viewed. To get data into the report, please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected."
Thinking that possibly it was the version of Crystal Reports in which the report was created (XI), I downloaded the free trial of Crystal 2008 and created a very simple test report with one parameter for account number where the account number is retrieved from our database. And I am having the same trouble.
The "Help" section of Crystal Reports Viewer tells me that I can select my parameters in the parameter panel. I do not see anything in my parameter panel other than the words "Current Data Set Last refreshed: 04/12/10 2:58 PM". The help tells me that I can "select the parameter directly in this panel by entering a new value", but there is no option to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Noel

What I've learned is that I was originally using Crystal Viewer XI and upon opening it I received a message indicating there was an update.
I ran the update which put me on Crystal Viewer 2008.
Since then I have not been able to refresh my screen to bring up the parameters.
See the attached forum for another post concerning this same issue.

Blank first page on DHTML viewer in Crystal 2008

I have seen some threads regarding this issue but no real resolution.
We are using Crystal 2008 running in a Windows 2003 web server and IIS 6. With the base version of Crystal 2008 installed, everything worked fine when rendering reports in the DHTML viewer. As soon as we upgraded to Crystal 2008 SP2, all reports now show a blank first page.
If you page back and forth or do an export, the data on the first page are displayed.
Does anyone have any ideas what caused this and how to fix it other than uninstalling the service packs?

Let's back up a bit. How did you actually deploy the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET Runtime to your web server? Based on your last message it sounds like you use the original CD media? If so this is incorrect.
You mentioned you copied the crv.js from a cab file from the install media. This might account for your problems because you are using an old of out date .js file with newer engine components.
The way I always suggest to deploy to a web server is to use our server redist files. Below are a few of the files you could use. I've listed FP3.3, SP 3 and SP 2. I don't know what patch level you want to be at so the decision is up to you.
Service Pack 3, Fix Pack 3.3 Server Redist

Upgraded to Crystal 2008 - one of my reports now has no data

Upgraded to Crystal 2008, now at (12.3.0.601).
However one of my reports (which was previously developed in Crystal X1) is now coming up blank.
I've tested the data on the previous system and the report comes back correctly so there is not an issue with data.
The report is built using XML Schema files and assigning the datasource from VS2008.
When the application is built with Crystal X1, this works fine.
I've refreshed the report using crystal 2008 but no good.
Other reports which use SP's as the source are working fine!
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick response.
What I mean by 'I refreshed the report in Crystal 2008' is that I opened the report in Crystal 2008 and verified it.
I did not have to do this with the other reports.
I cannot test this in the designer as the data gets assigned from the application.
However, the old version of the report with the same data works fine.
Note - there are no error message. The report displays with no data.
There are no code change made so everything points to the report which is strange.
Other reports work correctly but this one is different as it uses XML source.
Thanks.

Crystal 9 report will not open in Crystal 2008

I have inherited a Crystal 9 report that opens and runs fine, but I am unable to open it in Crystal 2008. I just get a pop-up message stating the path of the report and "This document could not be opened". We are in the process of saving all of our old Crystal 9 reports as Crystal 2008 and moving them to the 2008 Report Server.
Any ideas why this would be? All our other reports seem to be fine.

Sorry, Don Williams helped me with this one a year ago. I guess the user was still using 9 until recently.

Using Crystal 2008 to insert records into a table

Hi,
We have a unique need to use Crystal to insert records into a table. We have managed to test a report that can write into a temporary table. This is done by using sql command object and uses the following code :
INSERT INTO TEMP_TABLE (ORDERID)
VALUES ({?orderid}) (-- where orderid a parameter).
This test report asks for an order id and then inserts the record perfectly fine.
Now moving on to the real report - This report basically prints orders in batches and we want to insert order id into a temporary table to ensure we don't print orders that were already printed. To do this we created a sub report "insert orders" that has the above insert command. The main report passes the orderid to subreport and the idea is that the subreport would insert each time an order is passed. So if main report printed 50 orders ids, the then it would do 50 inserts individually into the temp table.
This however is NOT working. The report runs fine but there is no insert. Our hunch is that Crystal is not committing after every order id is passed from the main report. Not sure if we can set the AUTO COMMIT ON as a default somewhere?
Wondering if any one has attempted this or has any insights?
Regards,
Mohit.
Environment is - Crystal 2008 and Oracle 11GR2, we are using Oracle drivers (and not odbc)

Hmmm... I don't use Oracle but the syntax looks good...
You've already tested it and I assume that you are using the same driver in the production report as you used in the test, so that shouldn't be an issue...
how are you pulling the data? Is the final SELECT statement that pulls the report data in the same command as the INSERT script, or is the INSERT script in it's own command?
The reason I ask... If you are trying to pass a multi-valued parameter to a command, it won't work. If you have the insert command as it's own command while the data is being pulled with linked tables or a separate command, it is possible that the report itself will execute as expected w/o passing a value to the insert script.
If it's all in 1 command (as it should be), a bad parameter would fail in the final SELECT causing an error.
Also... are rows null or empty string values being added to table when the report executes? This would be an indication that the command is being executed but isn't getting the parameter value.

Problems getting Excelsius 2008 line chart to integrate into Crystal 2008

I am playing around with integrating excelsius 2008 into Crystal 2008 and I can't and am getting rather frustrated. I have a simple output of the following:
Month     % 1st delivery - Actl
1                   65.00
2                   89.80
3                   85.00
4                   87.50
5
6                   91.90
7                   94.80
8
I set up a line chart for 1 series, the series being the month and charting the delivery %. Very simple.
The way I have the xcelsius data manager set up is that my Row Headers go from A2:A13 and the data goes from B2:B13 and my chart is set up to ignore blank cells. I then saved that as an SWF file and pulled that into Crystal. I mapped the Month column into the row label and the % 1st delivery - Actl into the data value. What I get is a chart with just a value of 1 across the bottom and values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 going up the left. Basically, nothing.
Now, if I go back into the Flash Data Binding Expert on the Crystal report, click on my data column, click on the options button and change the summary from sum to count, it seems to work. I get a chart that has 1 - 8 across the bottom and a value of 1 on the chart for months 1 - 4, 6 and 7. Now, if I go into my database and add another row for month 6, the chart now shows 2 for month 6.
So basically, I can't get anything charted on this xcelsius chart exept for a count of my data values. Any ideas? I'm stumped and frustrated and would great appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
This is a known issue for CR 2008 and was fixed for CR 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008. It was not fixed for SQL Server 2005 using the SQL 2008 native driver as we do not support the MS SQL 2005 native client.
I never tested it against MS SQL 2005 because we did not support the native driver for 2005. It may work using the 2008 native client but you'll have to download Fix Pack 2.7 for CR 2008, requires Service Pack 2 first.
The cause is CR does not recognize the new SQL server native dll so it reverts to a default SQL syntax for that function.
If it does not work, not officially supported, we won't be able to fix it. Options are to upgrade MS SQL server or use ODBC or OLE DB to connect using the MDAC client for MS SQL server 2005.
Thank you
Don

Integrating Xcelsius into Crystal 2008

Post Author: Treznor
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Hi there,
I'm trying out Crystal 2008 and Xcelsius but seem to have run into a problem... When I go into the Flash Data Expert I only seem to have the tab for creating variables... Not for binding fields from my existing report.
Could someone tell me if the beta is in some way restricted in this sense or (much more likely) that I don't know what I'm doing.
Cheers in advance for any help you can offer.

Trial of Crystal 2008 with Crystal 8 installed?!

I have Crystal Reports 8 installed on my PC. I use it quite a lot.
However, I have been thinking of finally uypgrading to Crystal 2008 Advantage (Crystal and XCelsius).
I've downloaded the zip files, but I have installed them yet. If I install the trial version, will it destroy my Crystal 8 install. I don't know if I am going to buy Crystal 2008 yet.
I don't want to destroy my Crystal 8 install just to try Crystal 2008 and then end up not buying Crystal 2008. I would have a broken installation that point.
Can you have Crystal 8 installed on same PC while reviewing Crystal 2008?
Thanks,

Glenn:
I have had multiple versions of Crystal on my machine at the same time and the only issue I have had personally is that it always wants to open up .rpt files with the last version I installed. I have had 8.5, 10, XI R2, and 2008 all on my laptop at the same time, and was able to use each of them individually without an issue. I wouldn't be afraid to install 2008 on your PC.

Start OutlookSoft 4.2 with Excel 2003 when Excel 2007 is also installed.

Does anyone know how to get OutlookSoft 4.2 to use Excel 2003 as the default u2013 when both Excel 2003 and 2007 are installed? Iu2019ll take any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks, Joost and Sorin, for your responses! We will be considering both of them.
My name is Christine, and I work with Ellie (who originated the question).
Sorin, where do you insert the launch command described in your response?
Neither Ellie nor I are computer programmers. We have learned on the job as we go. So it's not obvious to us what to do with your command/path. I have changed the "Open With" property for Web Excel to use the exe file for Excel 2003, but the result is that Excel 2007 opens in compatibility mode, and not as Excel 2003.

Are Crystal 2008 reports compatible with runtime version XI

Hi,
Our software incorporates Crystal runtime version XI. We advise clients to purchase Crystal XI if they wish to modify our report templates.
A number of clients have complained that Crystal XI is no longer available to buy.
My query is that if we recommend Crystal 2008 and the clients modify their templates (basic reformatting edits), will these revised templates work in our application?
Thanks.

Dave,
I was wondering if you could arrive at some conclusion regarding making an application (that works in Crystal XI) work with Crystal 2008. The product I am working on, works fine with Crystal XI. But now for cleints that have Crystal 2008, I was wondering what would be the best bet to make that application compatiable? Certainly we do not want to have two seperate application coded separatly for Crystal XI and Crystal 2008.
I will appreciate any information you can share on this.
Thanks - Prashant

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
Babita.
