Crystal 8.5 issue within vb6

Hi!
I have inherited a vb6 application that uses crystal reports 8.5.  I have crystal installed locally on my computer and the CD Key has been entered, as well as having vb6 local.  This is the only version of Crystal on this Machine.  I am able to enter into the crystal app without error and open/edit reports. 
Now, when I go into the vb6 solution that uses the reports, and I try to either open a report in the development enviroment or compile the vb6 app, I get a screen asking for the CD key code.  I enter in the CD Key Code I put in for the app and it tells me it is the wrong key.  Also, when I am clicking to edit the report, after I click cancel for the CD key code page, an error comes up about "Invalid paramater."
I have done some research and found that the file craxdui.dll is also needed, but was not installed as part of CR 8.5.  Is there something else I need to install?  I found a random copy of the dll and currently the vb6 reference is pointed to it.  Could this be a source of the issue? 
Some version facts - Crystal Version: 8.5.0.217; Keycode.dll: 8.0.2.672; craxdrt.dll: 8.5.0.217; craxddrt.dll: 8.5.0.217; craxdui.dll: 8.5.0.217
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am willing to try anything at this point.

As lame as this sounds I'd uninstall Crystal Reports. Ensure you do not have any other version of Crystal reports on that system. Search for craxdrt.dll, craxdui.dll, craxddrt.dll and crviewer.dll. Unregister and delete any that you find. Reinstall CR 8.5.

  • I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

    I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and  saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

    If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone.  If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes.  The process would look like this:
    Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
    Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
    Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup.  Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
    When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
    Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

  • TS1646 I use and overseas credit card for purchases but Itunes is insisting on a credit card issued within NZ where I live.?

    Why can I not use and overseas credit card for purchases?  My account information is insisting on a credit card issued within my country of residence..?

    iTunes doesn't allow a credit card that was issued by a bank in another country (possibly because it's a way of confirming that you are able to buy from a country's store) - you will only be able to use a credit card issued by a New Zealand bank. Or you could use iTunes gift cards as your payment method, as far as I can see they are available in New Zealand.

  • Crystal Reports XI R2 Chinese characters display issue(with VB6)

    I have a vb6 program that interfaces to crystal reports xi using crystal active x report viewer. When i print a report with Chinese characters in it, they print end up printing as boxes, but when i open the report through crystal itself they print fine.
    Is there some setting that needs to be set to allow the characters to display properly?

    Not a bug in CR, it's a limitation of Microsoft Framework. It has problems rendering fonts properly though GDIPlus.
    Crystal Reports is a Win32 app, VB 6 and newer OS has issues. The viewer for CR is built into crw32.exe, the viewer you are using is an ActiveX viewer ( crviewer.dll ) and it can have limitations also. Mostly, CR XI R2 is unicode, using non-unicode fonts or non-UTF-8 type fonts are not supported. So some may work and others not.
    Make sure the fonts you are using are True Type and that they are shared for all users. Depends on the OS you are using also.
    Also, install the only patches available for R2, it may be resolved if you are not on the last updates:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe ( requires and uninstall first so make sure you have your keycode, we can't give you a new one.

  • Crystal reports 11: Values displayed in crystal report not showing in VB6

    Hi!
    I updated an existing lower version of crystal report 7 to crystal report 11. Changes are the following:
    1. sql query in VB6 to add fields
    2. sql query in crystal report to manipulate values and not use formula. crx11 doesn't allow summary/total in formula fields.
    3. report orientation
    4. additional fields to view
    5. font sizes, length, can grow properties, etc.
    When I tested it directly in crx 11, all fields/values are displaying correctly. When I integrated it in VB 6 using Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0 and CR Viewer object, the field is blank.
    I've tried several checking like field suppressions, conditional suppressions, etc.
    By the way, I also have a report using a subrepot with conditional suppressions. Same thing is happening. The subreport data only displays the alloted space but does not show values in VB6.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your response.
    Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
    Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
    a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
    Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
    b. Value not showing in sub-report.
    Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
    I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

  • Crystal report font issue when rendered as PDF

    Hi we are experiencing an issue with custom fonts within Crystal reports.  The font is an open type font that does appear to work if the report is viewed as a crystal report, but when it is rendered or scheduled into a PDF instance it fails and gives a Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when using openDocument and scheduling gives exporter error. Any help or feedback is appreciated

    Aaron,
    OpenType is not supported for PDF at least in:
    Crystal 10

    XIR2
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1219411
    The ADAPT indicated has been postponed.
    I canu2019t find an official statement for XI 3.1, however, there is a test you can run and itu2019s to delete the Opentype font from the server and use the same font name but TTF instead.  At least, this behaviour has been reported here:

  • Crystal Reports logon issue across firewall - Transport error:communication

    Hi,
    We are facing an error when we try to logon to the BO server using the crystal reports tool (Crystal Reports Enterprise XI Release 2 ) outside the firewall. The login is working fine when inside the firewall. The BO server is on a unix box within the customer network and we are trying to login from a PC (using Crystal Reports Enterprise XI Release 2) which is outside that network. The following are the errors we get when trying to logon using authentication as "Enterprise" and system name as "fully qualified server name:6400"
    1. Without including any IP addresses in the PC host file we get "Transport error:communication failure" on login.
    2. When I included the IP and name of the BO server in the PC host file (xx.xx.xx.xx host name) we get an error - "CMS host 'xxxx' address was resolved properly,but cannot be reached to establish a CMS connection.Verify your router/firewall allows communication on port 6400."
    (The IP address I include in the PC host file is the actual IP address of the BO server)
    3. I know we have natted IP addresses.. and the IP address of the BO server appears to be different when I do a ping to the BO server from outside the customer network i.e from the external PC. When I include the IP address in the host file (which I get from the ping <servername> outside the customer network from my PC) I get "Transport error:communication failure".
    The port 6400 has been opened in the firewall. We are able to login to the CMC link and the Info view without any issues.
    It will be great to get some advise on this as it has become a high priority issue in our workspace now.
    Thanks,
    Reeti

    Hi All,
    I had a breakthrough in logging to BOX1R2 Crystal Reports client outside the firewall. The following was done in our case:
    1. Open the port 6400 on the server to allow traffic from outside the firewall.
    2. Add the following command at the end in the cmsLAUNCH command line in ccm.config (ours is a BO server on Sun OS)
    -port FQDN:6400 -requestport XXXX
    The -port parameter was explicitly specified to make CMS explicitly listen on port 6400.
    The -requestport parameter was added to configure the server to register a fixed port (which has external access) with the CMS rather than letting it choose a dynamically selected one...so XXXX can be any port which is not allocated to any app and is also open in the firewall)
    Thanks,

  • SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

    We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
    "An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
    No error"
    Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue)  and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
    I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
    Thanks

  • Concurrent crystal license timeout Issue, need help.

    Hi,
    My company is using crystal enterprise 10 with 18 concurrent user license.
    However, we often hit out of crystal license issues.
    Does time to wait for exporting crystal reports to excel/pdf takes up licenses?
    Does time to wait for crystal report to be printed or viewed on the web browser takes up licenses?
    We all know that user sessions take up user licenses. 1 user login take up 1 license.
    Does crystal pruning job takes up user licenses too?
    Need help urgently, much appreciated.

    Hi Daren,
    Support on Cystal Enterprise 10 has expired. Make sure that your users are actually logging off and not just closing their browser.
    One user can take up multiple licenses by not logging off or opening multiple browsers to view multiple reports. Scheduled jobs that are running do not take up license, but a user veiwing a historical instance does take up a license.
    In your metrics tab in the Cyrsatl Management Console -> Servers-> cms you should be able to see the active number of sessions- system connections are backend connections between the servers and these do not take up any licenses.
    Best Regards,
    Jadie

  • Authorization issue within a table in BI

    Hello All,
    Here is my authorization issue :
    We have set up an authorization on infoobject Zapplication. End user is allowed to choose "HR" only.
    In Rsecadmin, infoObject Zapplication is restricted to "HR"
    Then, this authorization object has been assigned to end user.
    This user go to a specific table to select an application and a date.
    When user display the possible value he only see "HR". Which means our authorization is correct.
    However, this user can enter another value such as "SD". This value does exist in infoObject Zapplication. So, it means that there is an issue with our authorizations settings.
    We have added a control table, it's even worse in this case, authorization are not checked at all and all available values are displayed.
    Any idea to prevent the user to entered a value within this table ?
    Why our authorization does not check the value entered directly in the table ?
    Thanks &
    Regards
    Cath

    Hello
    For info we manged to restrict acces on this table by using event table from table maintenance and we have combined it with a specific authorisation object.

  • Running Crystal report( with subreport)  from VB6 using CRAXDRT.Report

    The application (vb5 with CRAXDRT.Report version 11.5) works for more than 50 different reports.
    This special report has a subreport with 5 Link elements.
    Report works fine with Crystal XI. But when gets fired  from vb6 application, after 2 or 3 times
    (sometimes at the first time), application crashes with following error message pops up:
    vb6.exe-Application Error.
    Instruction at 0x0000000 referenced memory could not be "read"
    The link elements of subreports are:
    (MSP for Main report's stored proc, SSP for Subreport's stored proc)
    MSP . @Prior  -> SSP.@Prior
    MSP . @managerID -> SSP.@managerID
    MSP . @showall -> SSP.@showall
    MSP . officeid-> SSP.@officeid
    MSP . manager -> SSP.manager  (items with @ sign are Parameters)
    If I delete the last link element this error never happens !
    Any clue ?

    For starters, get the latest Service Pack for CR XI r2 from here:

  • Crystal report parameter issue in SAP B1 8.8

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing following issue in Crystal report SAP B1 8.8 version
    Can not open crystal report without mentioning optional parameters.
    User is forced to mention all parameters
    User should allow to open crystal report by mentioning mandetory parameters
    if We set for the parameter value of field [Optional Prompt] to 'True' and then preview in SAP Business One, then although the dialogue is displayed,  click 'OK' without populating the parameter value, the report is run
    but in our case we are passing parameters through Stored Procedure and this option is block in report to do so.
    means that option available to make optional true / false is block and we are not able to do anything.
    Pls. provide solution
    Regards

  • Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

    Hi,
    I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
    I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
    But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
    I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
    Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
    Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
    (FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
    Please help me with this issue.
    Thanks & Regards.
    Naveen.

    hello Naveen,
    since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
    by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

  • B1 8.8 crystal report publishing issue

    upgraded to 8.8 last night from b1 2007
    have crystal reports that were working with the old CR reports addon for B1 version 2007.
    I imported the same crystal reports into 8.8 using the report and layout manager.
    When I go to run the report, the input parameters that are displayed are incorrect.
    There report has 4 parameters in the report designer, 8.8 displays 11 input parameters. 4 of them have not title.
    these reports are complex- mutliple sub reports populated by stored procedures, with all the parameter linked together, through crystal linking wizard.
    let me reiterate: these reports worked fine in the old CR reports addon for b1 version 2007.
    I even looked through the online training- I couldn't find a section pertaining to linking a crystal report into B1.

    There is a large document relating to writing Crystal reports for 8.8. Check the documentation section under the 8.8 landing page.
    Not all reports are easily imported between versions. There is a different method of creating parameters called SAP tokens, not always required. The use of views and commands does not easily translate between versions.
    I have come across an issue with using optional parameters but it only seems to apply to some reports & not others, but it is with SAP Development.
