Crystal Report 2008 - Run to Printer error

We upgraded our FSCM8.9 to FSCM9.1. We can run the crystals to file. But while running it to a network printer, I receive the following message. "Crystal Runtime exception: The printer specified can not be found. It may not be accessible in the current security context."
Do any have faced same problem with crystal reports 2008.
Thanks InAdvance

We had to define all the printers to the Server. Once defined, the crystal reports would run and print.

Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version Runtime Error

Hello
Yesterday I've downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 (Trial Version). The installation was successful. I've got no error.
Anyway, I'm unable to start Crystal Reports. I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime LIbrary
Runtime Error!
Program: ...ects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32x86\crw32.exe
Abnormal Program Termination
I've already tried all "solutions" mentioned in Re: Crystal Reports 2008 trial version ERROR (DEP, HW acceleration, etc.) but without success (I'm running Windows XP with SP2). I've also updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 resp. 2008 redistributables...
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Hi Patrick,
Nothing Strange about it. You need local Admin rights to access registry and other parts and CR needs the same.
Check anti-virus or possibly firewall settings. When you installed did the installer ask you to allow All users to run CR?
You may want to check with your IT guys, they may have modified your local user group to not allow some rights.
Bottom kine is your PC security is blocking access that CR needs under your local user account.
When you do try to run it does UAC pop up a message to allow you to run CR Designer? If not then it may be you have customer settings for that also.
Search Microsofts site on more info on user rights.
Thanks
Don

Crystal Reports 2008 - C-ISAM/ODBC Error 42000 Failed to retrieve data

I'm hoping someone out there has a solution to this problem.
I have a bunch of reports which I've converted from CR8.5 to CR2008 (SP2 + HotFixPack 2.7 Installed)
Our server is currently running SCO UNIX OpenServer 5.0.7 with a C-ISAM Database serving our accounting software.
Some of the more basic reports have converted with no problem (daily sales figures etc...), but some reports such as customised purchase orders, and complex sales histories etc... continue to have this problem.
Note, all my reports functioned perfectly under CR8.5.
This error occurs within seconds of executing the report.
FAILED TO RETRIEVE DATA FROM THE DATABASE
Details: 42000:ERROR Syntax Error - Database Vendor Code: -1
After which, the winsock comms need to be reset.
One example SQL query is as follows (on a report re-designing my purchase order for imported products.
SELECT purchase_order.po_order_no, purchase_order_line.stock_code, purchase_order.po_backorder_flag,
purchase_order_line.po_line_description, stock_master.stk_desc_line_3, stock_master.stk_description,
stock_master.stk_desc_line_2
FROM (purchase_order_line purchase_order_line INNER JOIN purchase_order purchase_order ON
(purchase_order_line.po_order_no=purchase_order.po_order_no) AND (purchase_order_line.po_backorder_flag=purchase_order.po_backorder_flag))
INNER JOIN stock_master stock_master ON purchase_order_line.stock_code=stock_master.stock_code
Does anyone have any idea??? Really driving me insane... Is it the order of my links, type of links, grouping??????
Strangely, some other similarly linked reports work perfectly.
Cheers in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,
If you open the Report and then click on DataBase, Log on and connect first. Then open your report, then Database, Set Location and once it's done then Verify the Database. Fix any errors or warnings that may pop up.
Lots of changes between 8.5 and 2008. CR detects that the report is the old format and it then goes through an series of internal report upgrade routines to convert all functions to the current format.
Also, all of the database drivers were re-written to take advantage of the updated functionality and Client enhancements. As well as we removed any "custom hacks" that we did back then to fix "issues" int he DB client drivers at the time. All of those "fixes" were removed, to much work to maintain them all, now if there are issues it's usually due to the DB Client not following ANSII 92 Standards.
One issue that does show up from time to time is that the order you inserted the tables can have an affect on how CR generates the SQL, may not be the case for your issue though, just something to watch for.
What happens if you create a new report and use that same SQL, save it, close all, re-open the report and run it. Do you get the same errors?
Also note: you did not say if you also updated the ODBC driver? As of CR 9 we are UNICODE compliant, may be your client needs to be updated also. Also verify it's using ODBC 3 and not ODBC 2 standards.
Thank you
Don

Print layout different with crystal report 2008 runtime

Hi,
I have reports which I print on a pre printed stationary. With Crystal report 11.5 run time it works fine.
Now I am using Crystal Report 2008 run time and with this I found that layout on the print is different than the actual layout in the design.
The print with CR 2008 run time is not exactly matching with the pre printed stationary. Whereas it is working fine with the 11.5 run time.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Server error in printing in server using crystal report 2008 with VS2008

Hi,
We are using Crystal report 2008 in VS 2008. Everything working fine in local but when we deployed it in the server we are getting the below while print the report.
"An error occurred on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information"
Anyhow the report is printing but I don't know why this error is occur and how to stop this. I had installed the CR runtime in the server. I dont know what is going wrong. The same we tested locally in a non crystal report installed PC.
Please help me to get rid out of this error.
Thanks
Natraj

Soemthing strange going on here.
Typically this Integrated vs Classic is an issue with images where Classic uses web.config tags between <system.web><httpHandlers><u2026 crystalimagehandler../></httphandlers></system.web>
Integrated uses tags between <system.webserver>u2026<handlers><..crystalimagehandler/></handlers></system.webserver>
Not sure why this would affect printing. Do you have tags that specifying where to download the printcontrol from? On the other hand, I would think that if images had anything to do with it, then you'd get red Xs when viewing. As far as I know, the printcontrol.cab doesnu2019t need to be specified in the <system.webserver> tags.
This one may be best resolved over the phone. Phone support can be obtained here:

Crystal Reports 2008 runtime error while running on Windows Server X64

I have a .NET web application compiled as X86 in Visual Studio 2008 invoking Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 that's running fine at a number of sites running Windows Server 2003 X86.

When deploying this app to Windows Server 2008 X64 I get the error message below. 

I'm aware that there is an unanswered question similar to this already in the forum but my application is compiled for X86 and I've tryed installing a variety of run times including "crruntime_12_2_mlb.msi" and "crredist2008_x86.msi".

What combination of compile and run time is needed to get around this issue?

Thanks.

Crystal Reports 2008 viewer, print function, Comunication error

I installed cr2008 on a web server and isntalled sp0
if I bring up a reprot in smartviewer from a client it works and I can print
once I installed sp1, sp2 and or sp3 for crystal reports 2008 the print button in crystal reports viewer gives an error when I click the print button.
If I remove and re-isntall cr2008 and just installed sp0 the print button works again
Is there a fix to make the print button work in crystal reports smart viewer once sp1 or above have been installed
thank you

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Export from Crystal Reports 2008 viewer fails if run on separate thread

I have a windows desktop application written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2008. I have installed and am trying Crystal Reports 2008 to run a report. Everything seems to work well except that when I preview a report (using the viewer control) and click the export button found in the upper left corner of that control, I get the following message:
Error 5: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process.
I am a little confused on what to do exactly. Is the problem because I am running in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE? It says this exception is only raise if a debugger is attached to the process. No, I tried running it outside the IDE. The exception wasn't generated but the application hung when the button was clicked.
It says the current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. If the report is run on its own thread, is the "current" thread the thread the report is running on or is the main application's UI thread? I don't think I want to set my main application to single thread apartment mode because it is a multi-threaded application (although I really don't know for sure because I am new to multi-threaded programming).
My objective is to allow reports to run asynchronously so that the user can do other things while it is being generated. Here is the code I use to do this:
 ' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
 Dim backgroundProcess As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
 ' Start a new thread to run this report.
 backgroundProcess = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
 Using (backgroundProcess)
 ' Wire the function we want to run to the 'do work' event.
 AddHandler backgroundProcess.DoWork, AddressOf PreviewReportAsynch_Start
 ' Kick off the report asynchronously and return control to the calling process
 backgroundProcess.RunWorkerAsync(sourceDatabase)
 End Using
 End Sub
 Private Sub PreviewReportAsynch_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
 ' The source database needed to call preview report was passed as the only argument
 Call PreviewReport(CType(e.Argument, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
 End Sub
 ' Previews the report. From the preview window, the user can print it.
 Public Function PreviewReport(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase) As FunctionEndedResult
 Dim errorBoxTitle As String
 Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
 ' Setup error handling
 errorBoxTitle = "Preview " & Name & " Report"
 PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.FAILURE
 On Error GoTo PreviewError
 ' Set up the crxReport object
 If InitializeReportProcess(sourceDatabase) <> FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
 GoTo PreviewExit
 End If
 ' Use the preview form to preview the report
 frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
 frmPreview.Report = crxReport
 frmPreview.ShowDialog()
 ' Save any settings that should persist from one run to the next
 Call SavePersistentSettings()
 ' If we got this far everything is OK.
 PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS
PreviewExit:
 ' Do any cleanup work
 Call CleanupReportProcess(sourceDatabase)
 Exit Function
PreviewError:
 ' Report error then exit gracefully
 ErrorBox(errorBoxTitle)
 Resume PreviewExit
 End Function
The variable crxReport is of type ReportDocument and the windows form called 'frmPreview' has only 1 control, the crystal reports viewer.
The print button on the viewer works fine. Just the export button is failing. Any ideas?

Hi Trevor.
Thank you for the reply. The report document is create on the main UI thread of my application. The preview form is created and destroyed on the separate thread. For reasons I won't get into, restructuring the code to move all the initialization stuff inside the preview form is not an option (OK, if you a really curious, I don't always preview a report, sometimes I print and/or export it directly which means the preview form isn't used).
What I learned through some other research is that there are some things (like COM calls and evidently some OLE automation stuff) that cannot be run on a thread that uses the MTA threading model. The export button probably uses some of this technology, thus the message stating that an STA threading model is required. I restructured the code as follows to accomodate this requirement. Here is a sample:
' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
 Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
 ' Start the preview report function on a new thread
 staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep1)
 staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA)
 staThread.Start(sourceDatabase)
 End Sub
 Private Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep1(ByVal sourceDatabase As Object)
 Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
 ' Initialize report preview. This includes staging any data and configuring the
 ' crystal report document object for use by the crystal report viewer control.
 If InitializeReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase)) = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
 ' Show the report to the user. This must be done on an STA thread so we will
 ' start another of that type. See description of PreviewReportAsynchStep2()
 staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep2)
 staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
 staThread.Start(mcrxReport)
 ' Wait for step 2 to finish. This blocks the current thread, but this thread
 ' isn't the main UI thread and this thread has no UI anymore (the progress
 ' form was closed) so it won't matter that is it blocked.
 staThread.Join()
 ' Save any settings that should persist from one successful run to the next
 Call SavePersistentSettings()
 End If
 ' Release the crystal report
 Call CleanupReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
 End Sub
 ' The preview form must be launched on a thread that use the single-threaded apartment (STA) model.
 ' Threads use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model by default. This is necessary to make the
 ' export and print buttons on the preview form work. They do not work when running on a
 ' thread using MTA.
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep2(ByVal crxInitializedReport As Object)
 Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
 ' Use the preview form to preview the report. The preview form contains the crystal reports viewer control.
 frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
 frmPreview.Report = DirectCast(crxInitializedReport, ReportDocument)
 frmPreview.ShowDialog()
 End Sub
Thanks for your help!

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

Crystal Reports 2008-Vista-ERROR-crw32.exe Entry Point Not Found in dll

Hi Experts,
I just installed the Crystal Reports 2008 (with SP0) on my Vista (Home) machine. When I try to start the CR 2008, I am getting the below error message:
Error Title: crw32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Error Message: The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
Here are the things I tried to resolve the above problem:
1) Uninstall and Reinstall the CR 2008. - No change.
2) I configured the DEP to accept Crystal Reports (Performance - Advanced - DEP allow).
None of these seem fix the problem.
Can you please help me kick start the Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks,
Arun

Please try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

Error while trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

Has anyone else come across this error before when running the SP3 update installer;
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Update is not allowed to install because a patch with a higher version was detected.
The installation then terminates. There has been nothing installed on this server to do with Crystal, aside from CR2008, SP1 and then the attempt at SP3.
ANY help appreciated
Edited by: Ludek Uher on Aug 18, 2010 2:07 PM

Priyanka,
I'm already extremely annoyed that a new server build requires installation of CR2008, then SP1 before SP3 will even allow installation. Adding SP2 into the mix just makes it seem like none of the developers tested anything (which I'm seeing from just about every software company I deal with these days).
Besides, the 'SAP Business Objects Support Software Downloads' page no longer lists SP1 or SP2 as available downloads, so I'm going to have to try Don's solution first.
Regards.

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005

Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.
