Crystal Report not pulling over user prompts

I am having issues with a Crystal Report that is pulled over into a third party CRM db. I've already checked the Forums and the SAP notes but have had no luck in finding any help. Our Crystal Report pulls up fine on the client, but it is missing the user prompts (parameters) when it comes through. We don't get any errors what so ever. The user is supposed to put in the date range that they would like to see. Other reports which don't have any prompts work fine. We've run the reports in Crystal on the server and they work just fine. We are just having this problem whenever the client is trying to run the report. When we've talked to our technical support for our CRM db they said we are supposed to get a lightning bolt and then when we click on it, it will prompt the user. However, the lightning bolt doesn't even show up when the report is pulled up. I'm not sure is there is something being done wrong within our report, or if this is an issue with the Active X controls. We are using Crystal Reports XI on an SQL 2005 server. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm very new to this so if someone could please point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,
The Lightning bolt is the report refresh button in CR 10. CR 11 has blue circular arrows, one on top of the other. Or you can simply press the F5 key to refresh. It may be you are mixing versions or something else.
I suggest you work with your tech support to figure out how your application should work and what is posibly missing. If you have the report Designer and they work there then your app or DB has issues.
We don't know your app or how it all is supposed to work so not much we can suggest other than to get your support to help you.
If it's a WEB app then possibly the you have the Pop-up blocker enabled, the Parameter UI would considered a pop-up.
You relaly need to get your CRM support guys to help you first. If thye can't figure it out then ask them to put a call into support.
Thank you
Don

VS Net 3.5 Crystal Reports Deployment causing database login prompt

I have deployed a Visual Studio executible module written in VB Net 3.5 SP 1 with Crystal Reports. When the user tries to view a report(s)
they are prompted to login in to the data base that has been data sourced into the report module. The correct database was verified before the build was made. The developer is able to run the report in a run mode on the local machine where the VB project was created.
In the properties section in the project the following check boxes pertaining to reports were checked on:
         Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008(x86, x64)
         Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer
Notes: If the executible module is deployed to a machine that has Visual Studio 2008 installed, the Reports run fine without a database login prompt.
         If the executible module is deployed to a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed, the user is prompted for a login.
         The data base is a SQL server 2008 database.
I'm being prompted for a server/database login when deploying the application and running it on a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed on it. One thing I forgot to mention is that the prompt dialog has only the database server name pre-filled but there is
no database name in the dialog. Both of these fields are grayed out. The Crystal Report was updated to reference the new server and database, and I also verified the database successfully.

Hello,
Not sure what DB driver you used to create the reports but if it's the native driver then you need to install the Native client from MS SQL Server 2008 CD/DVD onto the app server also.
MS SQL 2008 will not use MDAC, which is always installed. It requires the client to be installed.
There is also an issue when using OLE DB driver and Time(7) field types in MS's driver and Crystal Reports. Cr see's them as string fields, the driver returns the wrong field type to CR. ODBC does work with these field types.
And is your application running in 32 or 64 bit mode?
Thank you
Don

Using crystal reports to pull ZfD3 inventory information

I do understand, I'm not a programmer either :-(
the company who wrote report builder is Digital Metaphors, they have a
very good
training application and additional detailed information of how to
write
reports.
The CIM schema is I agree Cr** (well not easy) and without the detail
that
Novell provide it doesn't work.
I hope that a friend of mine is going to provide the compromise that
you and I
are looking for. Namely the ability to create the SQL queries that
ART can
make, with a simple report system. Keep an eye on caledonia.net for
an
announcement for ART4 (Derived from but unrelated to Salford
Software's
product) :-)

Crystal Report Server 2008 Named User License

Hi,
Where can I find pricing info for Crystal Report Server 2008 Named User License?
This is for an existing Crystal Report 2008 Server installation, which was initially licensed with CAL. The user would now like to add dedicated NUL clients.
I found the following in the online store, but that includes a server license, which is not required in this case.

Hi,
Put an image field in your report, then change the image’s Graphic Location:
right click the image, select Format Graphic, select Picture tab, click the conditional-formula button that look like a x2 and set the formula’s text to
the name of the formula or parameter field that will contain the image’s URL.
Save the formula and click the OK button. Save the report and test it.
Be carefull with the size of the image field. If this size is not equal to the image itself it could get resized.
Good Tutorial

Web based Crystal Report not appearing

Hi
Hope this hasn't been asked before, had a look in the forum but couldn't find it specifically.
I am developing a web application with one CR in it.
VS 2010 + CR for VS installed on development machine.
The development environment is all fine, works a treat. The problems started when I tried shipping to our staging environment, and also a test area on our live server.
Our live web server is running Windows Server 2008 Web edition R2 with dotnet V4 x86 runtime installed.
After overcoming 'Type Initializer' error, 'log4net.dll' error and 'LoadReport' error on the live server, the live server now just displays a blank page.
When I had this problem on the staging server I found that this was caused by the 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' folder not existing or in the right place. It works on the staging server when I'm browsing using http://localhost etc.
Things I have done to get the report working on the live server:
1. Install CR Runtime 32bit V13
2. Set security settings on C:\Windows\Temp to allow web user (actually set to 'Everyone' until it's all working properly) read/write access
3. Moved folder 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' to the application folder and the www root folder (have tried in various places also)
I have to say that the report is displayed when I'm on the live web server and browse using http://localhost etc., and I can repeat the problem by moving the crystalreportviewers13 folder out of where it should be.
After getting all this done over the past 2 DAYS I believe that the problem lies with the location of the 'crystalreportviewers13' folder. Although it could be something else.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Julian

OK, apologies. posted in haste!
It seems that the report is working, it's just the browser I was viewing it from simply doesn't display it. No idea why yet, but not too worried as all other machines I try it on, it works.
A little annoyed however at the amount of time I've wasted trying to get this working. Is it documented anywhere for instance that C:\Windows\Temp needs special privileges set up to make a web crystal report work?
Anyway, please ignore this, and the last post!
Cheers
Julian

Crystal reports not working in windows 7 but working fine on XP

I have a VB .net 2005 windows app. It has been working on Windows XP (32-bit) environment for a while and now we are moving to Windows 7 (64-bit). The program runs fine except for the reports which was written using the crystal report built in with VB .net
2005. I get an error Database login and it asks for user ID and password. HELP PLEASE !!!!
I am using the following connection string:
DBconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & str_data & ";Persist Security
Info=true;user ID=Admin;Jet OLEDB:Database Password= mypassword"
And on the REPORT form I have the following code
Private Sub frmExportDiv_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim crReportDocument As CrySelectedDivisionSummary
crReportDocument = New CrySelectedDivisionSummary
Dim ss As String = Application.StartupPath()
Dim logOnInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = ss & "\\Firm_data.mdb"

logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = "Admin"
crReportDocument.Database.Tables("qryExportDiv").ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo)
cryprintandexport.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Crystal report not working on 64 bit machine

Hello friends,
Hope everyone is doing good. I have an issue and you all are requested to help me out.
I have build an Application using VS 2008, i used Oracle 10g as database and Crystal report 2008 for reports. The Application and reports are working fine when i deploy it on 32 bit machine, but when I deploy it on a 64 bit machine, my Application works fine but reports are not displayed, when ever i run report it ask Db credential with the following message
"The report you requested requires further information."
then Server, user ID and password filed, I off course supplied credential but no results.
For resolving the issue i installed VS 2008 on 64 bit machine with redist CR Viewer and tried to verify database for the report thinking this might be an issue, but in CR designer it gives me following error when i tried to verify database or create new connection using OLEDB provider for Oracle
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Logon failed.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.
OK
I tried the following fixes as well:
- Installed CR viewer for 64 bit machine
- Registering ORAOLEDB10.dll
- Reinstalling VS 2008
The Application works fine but Crystal reports are malfunctioning. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a ton in Advance

Crystal report not working on a client pc

Hi Everyone,
I have developed windows application in vb 2012 which will bind data from ms access in crystal report. My windows application is running fine on local machine where i installed vs2012 but when i create a setup an installed it on the local machine it is giving
this error
'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine error
and when i install on a client machine it is giving me the following error,
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw

Anyone faced same error ?? Please suggest.

Also for 3rd party software usually contacting the vendor for assistance is recommended. Especially since Crystal Reports are not supported by Microsoft. The search engine or appropriate forum at the below link should be able to assist you.

Crystal Report not taking parameter propery

Hi,
I am facing a unique issue in reports.The report is not taking the parameter entered by the user instead it is taking the value which was used for testing the report initially.
Save data with report in uncheked.
The report is shwing correct data on CMS and with designer also.
The problem arises when report is viewed java based web application.
I am usng Crystal Reports XI and Business Objects 12 CMS.
Regards,
Misra P.

Hi,
what does single time mean? Only the first time when you start the report from your code and the second time it is like before? You may need to empty the report's parameters before giving new ones... If I could see the relevant part of your code, I could give a hint. There are also lots of samples hwo to paramterize a report from java code, which usually work fine...
There is also an option in the crystal reports designer to keep parameter values as they were set in the CMC when saving a report to BOE...

Harald

Crystal Report not working when posting the report to the Crystal Server.

Hi All,
I created a report using Crystal Reports 2008 with two ODBC connections (User DSN's). When I run the report in Crystal Reports (where I originally created it) it runs fine with no problems.
I am now trying to load it on Crystal Server 2008. When I try to run this report in InfoView, I get a message: "Error Failed to open the connection." I am thinking that it has to do with the ODBC connections but I am not quite sure. Could someone lead me in the right direction? How will the report that I now saved in the repository on the server connect to the ODBC stream?
Thank you in advance.

Solved my problem. I had to tweak the ODBC drivers on the server.
