Crystal 2008 version 12.0.0.683

How should I know which updates are installed on my computer? Is there some patch or update for my crystal version? If so, How can I download it?
I have some reports done with the crystal that comes with peachtree premium 2005 and now with Quantum version (crystal 2008) some transactions are missed. I think maybe some update is needed.
Please help!

Hello,
Do not apply patches to OEM versions without checking with Peachtree first.
Thank you

Crystal 2008 trial (12.0.0.683) and Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook

Hi there,
I'm testing a Data Source connection from Crystal to Excel. My error is
"Unknown Database Connector Error".
Any thoughts other than I need to have a full version of Crystal?
Thanks,
greg

Lanny,
I get exactly the same message when trying to open Microsoft Word (Mac version) documents emailed as attachments to my iPhone, so your problem is not Excel-specific. So far, Apple blames my telco, who blames my ISP, who blames Apple!
I did see somewhere on the net that attachments will not come down if you have your email sender (Mail in my case) set to Rich Text instead of plain text. However, that does not seem to be the issue. I still get this problem, regards of the format setting. The attachments seem to have been downloaded OK but cannot be opened.
Sorry I can't be more help but please let me know if you find the solution.

Crystal 2008 not working with outlook 2010 mapi when exporting

I recently had service pack 3 and fix pack 3.3 updated to my system ( crystal 2008) to help correct a issue with mapi not populating addresses from outlook when trying to export a report. I have a new issue. - sort of???
Now when I try to export multiple reports in a row I still have the same issue. I can send 1 report out. But if i try to send another report out i have the same issue that I had with mapi not populating the addresses field from outlook.
To get past this I shut down crystal and then bring it back up and I can send (ONE) report again before the same thing happens. Does anyone know if there is fix for this issue?
Fyi - this has nothing to do with the design of my report. The problem lies with how Crystal is communicating with mapi when trying to allowi a 2nd report to be exported. I am not using any outside programs, only crystal 2008 version and trying to export my report through mapi (outlook 2010 (in PDF format). As stated above with the above fixpack - I was able to restore exporting but now I can only export 1 report at a time.
When I select a 2nd report to export (after just sending out my 1st) the mapi function will not allow me to select addresses. So while the fix pack (from the website) restored some functionality it only allows 1 report at a time.

Hi Max,
It works for me. I get the Allow for 1 minute box and then I export again and same thing.... works...
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit at home. It just installed SP 1 so that may be the difference also but I don't recall this being a problem before.
I also don't see this being a CR problem, if it works once then something else is blocking the MAPI permission box. Check your anti-virus logs, could be it things a trojan is taking over your address book and blocking the second attempt. The AV logs should show you if something was blocked. Or disconnect from your network/disable network cards and disable your AV and test again.
Do you have any other tool that allows you to export? If you install Winzip or WinRAR it adds a feature that allows you to right click on any file, save the PDF to disk and then test using the zip tool to see if that works for you. If not it's definitely your AV or possibly Firewall software blocking the pop up.
Thanks again

Crystal reports version 12 vs version 11

my company purchased crystal reports version 11 and got version 12 in error of course version 12 is an upgraded version so it was a keeper-----our hosting payroll site only works with version 11 and they said it would not be a problem if we created reports in version 12 that they could still provide data through our ODBC connection
all our reports were created in version 12 and successfully produce data--but suddenly 1 report does not work and of course they now say that they can only run the report if it is built in version 11--
so the it would not be a problem now is, i feel they changed something on their side that is causing this particular report not to read, a tek issue...but they say by grace of ... was the way the report ever worked, but than why do all other reports still work now???
is there any way to use our version 12 key product to get a downgraded version 11 to create this report?
or open the report using version 12 and export it as a version 11?
or if i recreate the report would the glitch on their side go away?

Crystal 2008 (version 12) reports can be opened in Crystal XI (version 11) and saved there. If you don't have access to a copy of Crystal XI, could you possibly see whether the payroll company can downgrade it for you?

Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

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

Can not see two fields in Crystal 2008 Developer explorer/designer view

I am currently developing crystal 2008 reports against the salesforce.com database using version 12.0.0.683 CR Developer Full version. I am using an updated driver that was provided in July or Aug 08 in order to view self referencing fields. The problem is that when I try and report against one of the tables (lead history) I cannot view two of the fields (New Value and Old Value)? I can see these two field (New Value and Old Value) in the database expert as the last two fields in the actual table, but the two fields are missing when I go into the explorer/designer view. In Salesforce, these two fields can not be filtered on, but I can export all the values in this table using Salesforece Apex data loader.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the OnDemand Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Crystal 2008 hangs with Database Expert

Hello;
We just bought Crystal 2008 for two months.
Crystal report was working fine with 2008 version12.0.0.683 against MSSQL server 2005, but started to hang when selecting Database Expert from Memu.
It started to hang when I was working on a reprot using a complicated database procedure.
Now I am not able to create a new blank report through JDBC against our MSSQL server 2005. Crystal hangs just after I clicked on JDBC from Create New Connection in Database Expert window.
Please help.
Jean

Hi Jean,
You are using the original release and it was not DEP or Windows 7 or Vista aware.
Uninstall your copy and download the full SP 3 version, easier than applying each patch:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
Your reports will likely work again.
Thank you

Viewing Crystal 2008 ActiveX on Access 2007 forms

Ok, i am a little confused as there seems to be a some doubt whether Crystal 2008 ActiveX can be used on Access forms. Another thread even has a reply that mentions that the ActiveX control is no longer included in Crystal Reports 2008..... Take a look at this, you can clearly see i have embedded the 2008 ActiveX control onto an Access form. link:[http://www.moktar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AX.JPG]
I have just installed 2008 and will get round to looking at this, however in my brief look, i couldnt see the run time library for 2008. By all accounts you can freely distribute the run time files for Crystal Reports 2008 as MSI or exe packages to your clients. I hope this is the case and i can get the ActiveX working.
If anyone has some information on this subject i will welcome reading it.
This is how its used to be done;
1) Open the Access form in design view.
2) Click on Add Tool button on the toolbar.
3) Select Crystal Reports ActiveX toolbar control from the list of controls.
4) Place the control on the form.
5) Click on the View Code toolbar button to open the code for the form
6) Choose u2018Referencesu2019 from the u2018Toolsu2019 menu
7) Select u2018Crystal Reports ActiveX Design and Runtime Library 11.Xu2019 from the list of references and add to the project.
8) On the Form_Load() event, please use the code given below to pass the report to the viewer:
Dim crReport as CRAXDRT.Report
Dim crApplication as New CRAXDRT.Application
u2018 Use the appropriate path for the report
Set crReport = crApplication.OpenReport(u201CC:\Report1.rptu201D)
u2018 ReportSource property and ViewReport method will not be displayed on the viewer control
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ReportSource = crReport
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ViewReport
'Hey Presto, the Crystal control on the Access form is now displaying a report. However, you had the age old issue of distributing the runtime files to clients that dont have crystal reports installed, and even more so of an issue, as this is Access and no method of doing it. I was hoping that 2008 with its MSI and EXE versions of the runtime files would solve this age old problem.
Thanks
Simon.

Hello Simon,
The RDC was retired after Crystal Reports XI R2 and no longer exists in CR 2008.
The viewer control you are seeing is not meant for RDC applications.
You will need to move to Java or .NET if you plan on using CR 2008.
Best Regards,
Jason

App coded in Crystal XI need to be compatiable with Crystal 2008. Options?

Dear All,
The product I am working on, works fine with Crystal XI. But now task is to make it work for clients that have just Crystal 2008 (not Crystal XI). (Even assuming there is no new feature that Crystal 2008 offer is planned in this existing application.)
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, feedback, guidance that you can provide on this.
Thanks

am actually using Visual Studio .NET 2008 only with Crystal Reports XI R2. I was not aware of the fact that Crystal Reports XI R2 does not work with Visual Studio 2008. It could be that since I have both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 in my machine, and this could be referring to old one.
I believe Visual Studio 2008 came with .NET framework 3.5 and in theory 3.5 does all that 2.0 used to do. So I am not sure what would be the reason of .NET 2008 not supporting it. May be I am missing something, please help me clarify?
- See the supported platforms doc here:
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712240&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202
(choose Business Objects XI release2 / crystal reports -> crystal reports -> crystal reports XI r2 -sp2 - supported platforms.
.NET 2008 is not listed. That is as far as this discussion should need to go. E.g.; do not use CR XI r2 with .NET 2008, or .NET 2010 when it comes out - if you do, you're on your own.
Option-1) Now my worry is can same application; when installed on a client who has just crystal report 2008 (not upgrade from XI-R2) run-time installed, will work OK?
As long as you run CR XI r2 with the supported version of .NET (e.g.; in your case .NET 2005) there will be no issues after installing CR 2008 as CR 2008 and CR XI r2 are side by side compatible. One thing I would highly discourage is running reports created in CR 2008 with CR XI r2.
Option-2) Is there any change in existing code, I need to do so that irrespective of what run-time environment client has (XI R2 or, Crystal 2008), my application runs fine without any issue?
If you install CR 2008 SP0 after installing .NET 2008, you should not need any code modification to an already working app. All that will happen is that the CR assemblies will get upgraded to version 12.x. Of course, you then need to distribute the CR 2008 runtime to your client / server computers.
Any other option...
Not sure where the confusion is, but I am not sure why we'd want to look for other options(?).

Prompts to install Crystal 2008 SP1 each time I double-click .rpt file

Every time I want to open a report (.rpt) file from Windows Explorer, I get a message box stating:
Preparing to install...
Followed by another message box:
Please wait while Windows configures Crystal 2008 SP1
Followed by another message box:
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Crystal Reports 2008 SP1' disk and click OK.
I select cancel at this point (I've already got Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 installed on my machine).
After I select cancel, the following error appears:
Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. The Windows installer cannot continue.
I click OK and the report does not open.
If I start Crystal Reports itself, then select File, Open and select the report to open, it opens fine (without error).
The version of Crystal Reports (from Help, About Crystal Reports) is: Version 12.1.0.892
How can I resolve this without searching for the Crystal 2008 SP1 files (which were downloaded from the SAP/BO website).

Hi Nancy,
I've seen this happen usually when Windows Office has also been installed. The installer gets confused as to what should be installed or some dependency is missing. Not sure exactly what causes it.
Go into Control and Add/Remove Programs and try doing a repair install for both CR and SP1. Then open up Explorer and click on Tools, Folder Options and then File Type. Scroll down to RPT and click on Change or Restore. Ther main be something missing from the File type association.
Be sure to do this when you are logged in as local Administrator and/or your account is also configured to be part of the Local Admin group.
Thank you
Don

Crystal 2008 on 64 bit OS

We had to move to Crystal 2008 to support our application in citrix environment and now we need to support it on a 64 bit OS. It appears that crystal 2008 can only work in the emulaton mode on a x64 OS.
Is there any plan to provide full 64 bit support on Crystal Report 2008?
Would appreciate any information/suggestions in this regard.

None, CR 2008 will only run in 32 mode on 64 bit OS's and does work. All DB clients and printers must also be 32 versions to work.
Thank you
Don

Word issues with upgradeing reports built in 10 to crystal 2008

We have a bunch of reports that were built and running with 10. We are trying to upgrade our servers to run with crystal 2008. The reports built in 10 have been working when run with the crystal 2008 runtime. With the exception of a problem when opening a report in word. I have figured out if I change the page set up in word to be landscape the report will now show fine. Also if i edit the actual rpt to be much narrower than the original, it will execute correctly in word. Has anyone else had this problem? Word will run very slow and there will be blank pages in between a multi page document.

Hi Bill,
Not sure what version you are using, get SP1. In the report designer if you got the Page Setup options try checking on Dissociate Formatting Page....
If you are using RAS and SP1 you can do this in code something like this:
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions MYPRTOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
if (rdoCurrent.Checked)
                pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
                         pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
                MYPRTOpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
                         pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboCurrentPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
     // added the below line to verify the changes work.
                MYPRTOpts.PaperOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;
                // new API added to allow changing printing options
                MYPRTOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Left = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Right = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Top = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Bottom = 1;
Thank you
Don
