Crystal 8.5 Export to Excel 2003 Error after Excel SP3 install

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....

Exporting SAP report to Excel 2003 - cannot use Excel icon

Good morning folks
We have recently installed Excel 2003 and since then we are unable to export reports from SAP (eg ad hoc query) directly into Excel by clicking on the Excel icon - a blank Excel screen is displayed. Any assistance please.
We are still able to export to Excel by clicking on the Print Preview icon and then clicking on the Excel icon.
many thanks
Dawn

My users misled me! They were not exporting directly to Excel at all but instead to Excel embedded in the SAP Gui! I have managed to get them to do this again by changing the security settings on Excel as follows: Tools > Macro > security settings - changed from Low to Medium and ticked both boxes in Trusted Publishers.

Excel File Error After Using SaveAsDialog in C#

Hello,
I have a project where I am trying to use SaveFileDialog. My code runs fine and saves the file to the directory that I choose. The problem is when I try to open the file I receive an error from Excel stating
“Excel cannot open the file Test_File.xlsx because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file”
Is there something happening in my code that is corrupting the file during the save process?
I can’t figure out why I am getting this error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am working in VS 2013 Pro. and using C#. Here’s my code:
private
void btnSave_Click(object
sender, EventArgs e)
Stream saveFile;
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 =
new
SaveFileDialog();
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save As";
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Excel Files (*.xlsx)| *.xlsx";
saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() ==
DialogResult.OK)
if ((saveFile = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile()) !=
null)
// Code to write the stream goes here.
saveFile.Close();
Thank you,
Dave

Excel generated errors after completion of VI

Hello everybody..
I created a VI that using activeX it opens an excel file from desktop, renames the worksheet "sheet1", and closing as well as saving the changes. It works ok, then i open the excel file to see the changes , and when i close it it gives an error message "excel has created errors and will be closed bywindows" etc,etc.
I guess it's something to do with the order i close the automation references, but after a lot of tries no luck...
I am using LV7.1 and MS office excel 2000.
If anyone can help me please do...
Thanx a lot for your time guys...
Yiannis
I attach the vi if anyone wants to try it out!!

problem.vi ‏64 KB

Hi all. I have almost the same problem again, but now I can’t
tackle it for the moment.
I created this vi which is part of another vi, and it does
this:
It creates a new excel at the first run, name it month.xls (June,
July etc.) and it renames the worksheet according to the date e.g. 25 June
2008. It closes all refnums and applications. Then in 20 seconds (for debug
reasons) it checks the date. If the PC clock is set to another date it checks
the month if it’s the same it adds another worksheet to the previous excel, if
its another month it creates a new excel and so on. If anyone wants to run it
he has to change the date in this 20 seconds that the loop waits.
Problem: Excel stays in memory and you have to kill it from
Task manager to open the created excel. I can’t see the problem since I close
all references and quit the application at the end. I post this question if
anyone wishes to help. Thank you very much in advance guys.
PS. LV7.1 MS Excel 2000 (with service packs).
Cheers

Crystal report "Failed to load database information" error after publish

I have seen similar questions, but none of the answers seem to apply to my situation.
I am upgrading an older web application to Visual Studio 2013, using the SAP Visual Studio Crystal Reports tools. Everything works great until I publish.
I have two sorts of reports: Some that export to Excel, and some that export to PDF. All work fine within Visual Studio. However, when I publish, the reports that should go to PDF give me the following error.
Failed to load database information.Error in File [Report Name] {GUID}.rpt
I have seen several posts that indicate that this could be a 32/64 bit issue. I am using a newer 64 bit SQL database, and this is an old application. I have it set to Any CPU. However, since the reports work fine in Visual Studio, I don't see how this could be the issue.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Geoff Callaghan

Hi Geoff
This is definitely not due to the export type. Rather it will be due to a db issue of some sort. My suspicion is that reports that work use a different type of connection that reports that fail. E.g.; the reports that work use OLE DB, those that fail use ODBC and the ODBC datasource is 32 bit, not 64 bit(?). E.g.; check the database connections between reports that work and those that do not. And remember to also check the connections in subreports (if any).

Jdev 12c

Hi,
there is a bug filed for this that has been fixed for the first (upcoming) Patch Set of 12c. Until then the solution seems to be to get the current row before exporting the table and then to set it back afterwards. So what you can try is to create a hidden button for the export of the table. Say you name the button "expBut". Then have another button with a action reference to a managed bean. This button now will invoke the following code
1. read the current row from the table iterator (bindings --> (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("iteratorName") --> (Row) dcIterator.getCurrentRow()
2. invoke the hidden button: ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(expBut); ae.queue();
3. Set current row back to where it was: dcIterator.setCurrentRowWithKey(row.getKey().toStringFormat(true));
At least this seems to be the internal bug fix.
Alternatively, disable PPR on the binding layer (ChangeEventPolicy=None on the iterator) and set the same on the PartialTrigger property of the component.

Excel file error after upgrade from 2010 to 2013

Hi there,
I did the upgrade from 2010 (Enterprise) to 2013. The excel files are not opening giving error.
ULS Log: "Unexpected error when trying to access service settings in the configuration database. Make sure the proxy for this service application is a member of the default proxy group for the active web application. Error = ExcelServerWebServiceApplication.Local:
Could not get the web application associated with this context. This indicates that the Excel Server service is not properly registered or provisioned.."
Question : Do I need to create New Excel Service Application separately on SharePoint 2013 Server?
I followed this link for upgrade
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839719.aspx but it doesn't say anything for Excel SA.
Note: I have plan to configure separate Office APP Server to give user access the documents on iPad/iPhone. Should I need to do any configuration related to this error on Office App Server?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Khushi

Hi Khushi ,
Yes, you need to create New Excel Service Application separately on SharePoint 2013 Server. Due to only the following service applications have databases that can be upgraded when you upgrade from SharePoint
Server 2010 to SharePoint Server 2013:
Business Data Connectivity service application
Managed Metadata service application
PerformancePoint Services service application
Search service application
Secure Store Service application
User Profile service application
Attaching and upgrading these databases configures these service applications. Settings for other services will have to be reconfigured when you upgrade.
Reference:
Services upgrade overview for SharePoint Server 2013
For configuring Office Web Apps Server , you can refer to the blog:

Help needed - Excel macro error after Reader 11 update.

I wrote the following section of an Excel 2010 macro to open a selected pdf file with Adobe Reader, then copy all text to the clipboard & then return to Excel to paste &
process the data. The macro works with Adobe Reader 10. After I updated to Adobe Reader 11, Reader 11 will open but I get an error message of file not found. I've gone back &
forth between Reader 10 & 11 from clean installs & the problem stays with 11. The only thing I changed in the macro is the path for where Abobe Reader is located. The only
Adobe Reader preferences I change from the clean install setup is I set the Default View to Single Page continuous. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I do not see any reason for this to not work.
Is there any difference between the preferences for RX and RXI. Please go to "edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Security(Enhanced)" and uncheck "Enable protected mode at startup".
Are you able to open any pdf from command line with the same command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" <<PDF_FILE>>

Excel macro error after deploying in Weblogic

Halo,
I have written excel macros and it is working fine.
but if the same file if i try to open from hyperlink after deploying in Weblogic server , I get the error
"error occured initializing the VBA libraries.
If Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) was not installed, or was set to Install on first use,
(advertised, or set to install on demand) you may receive this error message.
Depending on the mode of installation used and the rights of the user to change current settings,
it is possible to install VBA through Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Microsoft Office, Add or Remove
features. If Visual Basic for Applications is not listed as an installable feature of Office, the administrator
of your system may have disabled it so it is impossible for you to install it. If VBA is not installed,
it is impossible to run VBA applications/projects on this computer. "
1. Even though Excel VBA application is installed in my machine , why am i getting this error.??
2. I would like to know is there any way to open the excel file even though if the excel software is not installed in client machine??
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Excel 2013 Error - Microsoft Excel has stopped working.

Just downloaded and installed Office 2013 to my new Windows 8 machine. Every time I try to use one of the Office products I receive the following message:
Microsoft 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.
Please advise. Thanks.

Hope my experience helps anyone searching for answers to Excel /Word /Office freezing issues.
I have just fixed frozen Excel & Word applications in Office 2010. This happened
some 6 years ago and as my memory gets a bit more rusty every year, it took me sometime
to remember. First instance was with MS XP and Office 2000 - yes, old like me.
Both instances were with my wife's machine, so you can understand the
situation. I spent into the early hours search forums like this and trying all
sorts of fixes that are listed. In the end, the fix that fixed the problem was
to renew the user profile. That is, register anew user, then transfer all of
the files from the corrupted user profile to the new profile. Not an easy job,
but doable for most of us who are technologically challenged.<o:p></o:p>
If anyone wants to try this, then just remember that there three types of files
that are not copied over. The following site gives the process.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-NZ/windows-vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
Remember that Favorites, email messages and contacts also need to be copied over.
This fix may not necessarily be the solution for everyone's issues with Office applications
freezing, but it fixed mine.
I'm now a hero again in my household :)
P.S. I am still using Office 2000 and it's a great suite of programs. Should still be working after I'm long gone.

Reports Service Fails with 186 error after Disocverer4i Admin Install

DB = 8.1.7
9iAS 1.0.2.1
Everything was working fine until the install of Disco4i Admin. I've performed a TNSPING80.EXE myserver & verified the TNSNames.ora configuration. Everything looks ok.

Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Here is a cut from Doc ID 122038.1 on Metalink:
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
====================
After installing IAS Enterprise Edition, you attempt to start the Reports
Server Service (see below) and get the error:
REP-0186 - Daemon failed to listen to port.
For Windows NT:
Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Services-->Start Oracle Reports Server.
Get REP-186 error.
For UNIX:
Run the following Script:
$ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server start.
SOLUTION DESCRIPTION:
=====================
WINDOWS NT 4.0 Server:
The primary cause for this error is that the Reports Server Service cannot
find a valid entry in the tnsnames.ora file. When the MTS starts, it tries
to read the entry in the $ORACLE_HOME\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora file. There
may be multiple files called tnsnames.ora on the machine. The following hint
may help in setting the default location for this file on the Windows NT
platform:
1. Click Start-->Run and type in REGEDIT; press enter; click OK.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE folder.
3. With this folder open, right-click in the right-hand pane and select New-->
String.
4. Enter "TNS_ADMIN" (w/o the quotes) for the new string.
5. Double-click on the new string, and enter the <drive>:\<path> to where your
centralized tnsnames.ora file is stored for string's value. This setting to
the registry will define a common TNS_ADMIN directory, allowing for a
central file to be managed.
6. Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Where <serverdnsname> is the name of the DNS name of the server
(the server's IP address may also be used instead. "World"
is the name of the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file.
7. Navigate to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Services, find the Oracle
Reports Server [<RepServerName>] and start the service.
a) If the Service still fails to start, ensure that there is a printer
(local or network) installed, and in the Control Panel-->Services, click
the Oracle Reports Server [<RepServerName>], and click the Startup
button.
b) Under the "Log on As" section, select "This Account", then click the
ellipsis (...) button. In the dialogue box that comes up, select a user
that has access to the system's printer, and type in the user's password,
(do this even if the asterisks (*) appear), and click OK. Legacy
versions required a printer driver be installed on the Server in order
to format document output, even when creating cached documents for the
web.
c) Restart the Reports Server Service.
UNIX:
The following examples assume that IAS is installed in:
/u01/app/oracle/product/ias
and the $ORACLE_HOME is defined as the same.
1. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server script file, noting the
following (example) settings:
csh:
setenv TNS_ADMIN $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
bsh/ksh:
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
2. Define a printer per NOTE:74872.1 and set the PRINTER environment to match:
csh:
setenv PRINTER <queuename>
bsh/ksh:
export PRINTER=<queuename>
3. Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Where <serverdnsname> is the name of the DNS name of the server
(the server's IP address may also be used instead). "World" is
the name of default domain in the sqlnet.ora file.
4. Now start the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server script file.
EXPLANATION:
============
The IAS installation creates a TN S_ADMIN in the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i
directory, but the Reports Server is not able to find it, due to the defaults
setup by the installer.

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

Error after Patch 3 Install

After installing .NET PDK 1.0 Patch 3 and deploying a newly created Hello World application with VS .NET (SAP Portal Add-in), I run the application from the Component Inspector in the Porta. I receive the following error upon the loading of the new component:

Hi,
Can you give some more info?
- Did you install a fresh run-time and dev add in or was it an "upgrade" installation?
- Are you running it in "debug" (F5) or have you deployed the project and are running it from the portal... or something else?
- By "newly created application" did you create a completly new project or cleared an old file?
- are you using a SAP Connector in this "hello World"?
- If yes - What connector version have you installed on your dev machine?
Please, in the mean time, also try to do a "repair" on both msi installations (run-time machine and Dev machine).
Regards,
Ofer
