Crystal and delphi 2007

I have been using crystal on and off throughout the years, using the VCL.  In my current position, I am once again called to use crystal in the application.
To my surprise and dismay, it seems that there is no longer support for the delphi vcl.  While this make no sense, since delphi programmers have been working with crystal vcl since about the beginning of time, I am also having difficulty finding any information on how I am supposed to continue using delphi and crystal together?
I have seen several articles on how to use it with visual studio.  I have NOT seen any articles on how to make it work with Delphi.
Are there any articles/step by steps to import any type of library into Delphi 2007?  In less than a year, I will also need instructions on how to make it work with delphi 2009.
I have attempted to use the VCL for XI, and there are instructions on how to update it to work with XII, but since there will then be, at some point, a version XIII, I need a permanent solution.
I do not need to design the report in my application, I just need to
a) Using MSSQL server (or express), be able to change the database, since each site gets to make up it's own database name
b) run a report.
c) run a report with parameters set in the program.
Granted, it has been 5 years since I've had to do this, but I am seriously disappointed in the lack of support for long time Delphi users, and even more so with the lack of transitional examples.

1) Update the CR XI VCL as per the link I gave
I tried that first, before posting to the forum.  I cannot change the connection settings.  I don't get an error, the settings just don't change.
2) See if you can incorporate the CR assemblies for .NET into Delphi as per the doc I attached in the 1st post: Delphi 2005 updating assemblies.doc.
I attempted to do that.   
I do not get the option to create a new windows forms application, I can only do asp.net and vcl forms application.
The installed .net components do not list anything from crystal or business objects.
I added crystaldecisions.windows.forms.dll into delphi, (Components |Installed .net components | add assembly - add Crystal\Common\4.0\Managed\dotnet2\) but cannot get it to show up on the palette, no matter which type of project I create (asp.net or vcl forms)

    There is no VCL or COM for CR 2008. You will need to move to .NET to use CR 2008 or go back to XI for VCL/RDC.

  • Crystal Report 2008 Deployment - Delphi 2007 application

    Hi,
    I have got Crystal Report 2008 and developed some reports using them.
    I had integrated these reports with a Delphi 2007 application. My application works fine on my box where I have installed CR2008.
    Please note - the previous version of Crystal report i used with my application was 5.
    I also identified CR_runtime 2008- most of the dll's inside win32_x86 directory and tried to package and created installer of my application. I deployed my application on another box and what I noticed is it gives me OpenEngine error. Copying required dll's doesn't solves problem as I feel there is a need for registry variables too, but not sure of how to go about it.
    Is it that I need CR208 , the whole Business objects installed on all deploymnet boxes? If then i need to get licensed copies?
    Or is it ok I can download just the CR2008 runtime and install on the deployment boxes.
    My application is a standalone application and it just uses to view the reports already created- picking values from the database.
    Can I use CR_runtime installer  - free trial and deploy on the other boxes and use my application so to view the already created reports.
    Please help - I am stuck as how to package my application so users can view the report.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shruthi

    Hi Jonathan,
    Thanks so much... for the reply .
    I had downloaded CR runtime - msi file and tried for deployment on my deployment box. But it asks for the product key while installing.
    If I  had to do this on all of my customer boxes, then can I use the same product key/license code? or the free time trial version - license code that comes with a CR runtime trial setup.
    Or should I purchase license for deploying the runtime or  msi to all boxes?
    Please let me know what should I do......
    Thanks in advance,
    ~shruthi

  • Delphi 2007 and CR 2008

    Hello everyone,
    This is my first post on Business Objects forum...
    I would like to know if there is a way to use CR2008 in Delphi 2007.
    I have read that the RDC is not available for CR2008 but only for the XI release 2.
    Thanks in advance for your reply...

    That's correct RDC was deprecated with XI Release 2, and is not included with CR 2008.
    RDC remains supported for use with XI Release 2.

  • How to develop dll towards VB and Delphi for vi's of a third-part usb device

    Hello, dear lv'ers:
    Recently i am evolved in a project where i want to reuse my developed ac measurement modules (certainly in .vi format) in target computers. The related information has been collected below:
    0) Develope machine: win7, lv2010 sp1 development suite bought last year, third-part usb devices (Rigol DG1022 for instance, recognized in MAX as USB0::0x0957::0x0407::MY44012174::INSTR), ac measurement vi's with VISA function calling.
    1) Target computer A: MultiVu for squid vsm from QD(quantum design) bought in 2009, allowing third-part extension script written in visual basic .bas format. MAX was installed by QD, but our third-part usb devices could unfortunately not be recognized and assigned a visa resource name.
    2) Target computer B: MultiVu for squid-xl from QD bought 2007, allowing third-part extension script writen in Delphi .dpr format. Its MAX has the same problem.
    i have got familiar with extending such two MultiVu's for dc measurement based on Keithley 2400 & 2182, successfully using VB and Delphi, respectively.  Such dc module has nothing to do with labview and has already installed with GPIB interface in MAX.
    i have already overviewed some related posts here for dll building for VB and Delphi, and i could build my hellow-world dll for vb(simply following reversstring one in ni knowledgebase). However, at the moment, my main concerning is how to build dll's installation package for our two target computers, so that they can use the third-part usb devices as in my development machine?
    Your answers, direct or indirectly, would be quite appreciated.

    Probably, i have just got a solution for this problem.
    The way seems  quite simple: what i need to do, before importing dll or exe files, is installing a VISA  4.0 (http://download.ni.com/support/softlib/visa/NI-VISA/4.0/win32/visa400full.exe) in target computers, which can communicate fine with our devices.
    Afterwards, you know, everthing goes ok as does in the development computer.
    When i got further problems, i shall return here. :-).

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Hyperlinks do not work when exporting to PDF (Crystal and Visual Cut)

    I have a question about Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Visual Cut 11. I create reports in Crystal and export them using Visual Cut. Some reports contain hyperlinks to files on a network drive. However, the links only work while in Crystal. The PDF files that are printed through Visual Cut display the links, but they are not clickable. How can this issue be fixed?
    In case it helps, the links also work when I export reports from Crystal to HTML, Word, and Excel, but not when I export to Acrobat. I believe it is a problem with tagging/accessibilityfeatures. So is there a setting/formula in Crystal or Visual Cut that would allow the exported PDF files to be accessible?

    While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks.  Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

    Unfortunately it does not work, i get an logon error message for the Database.
    Can somebody help me why this happen?
    Thx a lot

    Hi Ingo,
    sorry for my late response, i had no chance to access the system.
    It is no error, it is just the Database Logon
    "The report you requested requires further information."
    But how can i avoid this Logon und use SSO?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook.

    I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook. When I attempt to sync in itunes I get a popup message asking if I want to delete, Merge or cancel. Not wanting to delete of cancel the only option left is Merge.
                When selecting Merge all of the entries in outlook are added to the idevice. The next time I merge all of the same entries plus any new ones are added, resulting in older entries being repeated i.e an entry like “John’s Birthday” will appear 5 or 6 times on the same date.
                How do I resolve this issue? How do I get the the sync process to add only new entries?

    This is a great question. First, facetime will not work because it has to establish a Call connection first. iMessage should work, but how to get it going I am not sure. Two great Apps to try are, Viber and Skype. Viber is excellent, it works over WiFi, you can make free calls and free text messages all over the world with other users who have Viber installed. It does not even have to be open on screen to work. Viber does have to recieve one text message with activation code, to activate it, this will be your only hurdle, but maybe Verizon can help you get that one text message. Skype does have to be open on screen however, but this can function like Facetime with WiFi connection. Definitely get Viber free in App Store, and put it on all your iDevices so the old Verizon iPhone can function as a telephone when on WiFi.

  • Can't sync Palm Centro and Outlook 2007/Windows 7 - please help!

    Hello,
    I've never posted on a forum, but I'm at my wits end...!  I've been trying to get my Palm Centro to sync Contacts/Calendar/Memos to Outlook 2007 on my new laptop for a week now with no success.  It used to sync just fine to my old computer with Windows XP and Outlook 2003.  Then that computer crashed (my Outlook files were backed up on an external harddrive).  I received my new computer with Windows 7 XP (32-bit) and Outlook 2007.  I've downloaded the Palm Desktop 6.2, Windows 2007 Conduit, and Software Update 1.03 (Windows installer) for Centro for Verizon.

    I have been using this and it works great.  On their site you can choose the phone and the particular program you need to sync with and choose which you way you want to sync.

    Sorry hat, the Centro has absolutely nothing in common with a webOS device!  It runs PalmOS.  Nice of you to reply with your suggestion though! 
    @SyncHelpPlease:  OLERR errors are covered in this Palm KB article:
    http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/31167_en.html
    Something I noticed in your post - you installed Palm 6.2.2 AND the 2007 conduit.  Palm Desktop 6.2.2. has the 2007 conduits built into it already, and the patch is not needed.  Whether this is the cause of your problems, I'm not sure, but I've fielded several posts of the same issue where the user did the same thing you did!
    I'd suggest doing a clean uninstall, and reinstall of Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only. 
    I admit, I do not use Outlook, nor Win7, so I'm giving you my best guess at a way to solve your problem.  Hopefully, this may lead to a solution!

  • Duplicates IPhone and Outlook 2007

    Yo!
    I am continually getting duplicates between my IPhone 4 and Outlook 2007.
    I delete the duplicate from Outlook and re-sync - still duplicated on phone after next sync.
    I delete the duplicate from the IPhone - still get the duplication in Outlook after the next sync.
    I am wondering if the way I make the entries into Outlook is causing the problem.
    Here is how I enter data into my Outlook Contact list:
    If it is a name of a person: I just enter the full name into the "Full Name" field: ex: John Smith
    However, if it is a business or I want to manipulate the name so that it is organized alphabetically, I enter the name just into the "Company Name" so that the "File As" field will display and sort the name alphabetically. Ex:
    If it is "John Smith Plumbing and Electrical", I enter this into JUST the "Company" field. I do NOT enter a name into the "Full Name" field.
    After syncing using iTunes, going through my contact list, I will see a duplicate of the John Smith Plumbing and Electrical contact. One will my original, and the duplicated one will have John Smith Plumbing and Electrical in the "Full Name" field.
    Hopefully I have described my situation clear enough.
    Is there a known fix for this?
    Thanks in advance

    Go to contacts on your phone/ipad, click groups, make sure that the only checked contacts are icloud. That shoud do.
