Crystal Report Viewer and Windows 7 Enterprise

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating server is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI Release 2 is installed in it. Activex Viewer is downloading fine in client machine having Windows XP OS (IE Version is 7) but for the same url ActiveXViewer.cab is not getting downloaded in Windows 7 Enterprise (IE Version is 8). It throws the error u201CThe Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects.u201D
To download the cab file in Windows 7 machine it request for the following url
1.     http://<web server name>/crystalreportviewers115/ActiveXControls/ActiveXViewer.cab
2.     http://crl.verisign.com/pca3.crl
3.     http://csc3-2004-crl.verisign.com/CSC3-2004.crl
4.     http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab
URL 2,3,4 returns the http status as 502 (Bad gateway). These url are not called from the Windows XP machine.
The windows 7 client machine is not connected to the internet. I tried importing the crl files (by downloading from another machine). But still we are getting the same error.
How to over come this issue?
Please Note :
1. I am able to download the cab file when I tried to download only the cab file directly by specifying the cab url.
2. If I am registering the ActiveXViewer.cab deliverables manually in the client machine report is launching fine, but we cannot do the same for the entire client machine having Windows 7 Enterprise Operating System.

Hi Ludek Uher,
Thank you very much for the information provided by you. But still the same error (The Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects) occurs after changing the IE8 Compatibility mode.
Are there any other settings that can be tried for this issue?
Thank You.

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.

Could any one help me regarding this.

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you
Don

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Problem with Crystal Report Viewer and Dual Monitors

Post Author: jtgoff
CA Forum: .NET
Hey Guys,
I'm running into another problem with the Crystal Report Viewer. Here's a little info before I get started, I'm developing a Windows App using WinForms in VS2005 and Crystal 11 Release 2. I'm referencing all the latest Crystal dlls from Service Pack 2 of Crystal 11 Release 2. The problem occurs when I drag my Windows Form that contains a Crystal Report Viewer onto my second monitor and try to scroll or resize it, when I try this the Report Document within the Viewer becomes glitchy, blocky, and un-readable. I drag it back onto my main monitor and perform the same actions and the Report appears perfectly fine. I notice this occurs after a number of Report Previews through my App. Initially when I start my App, I can drag the reports onto my second monitor and resize it and scroll through it no problem. However, after a number of Previews, I notice the problem occurs on my second monitor. This is a very strange bug that doesn't produce an error and appears to happen randomly. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem, if so... Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can update the parameters using Crystal Viewer 2008. I had the same problem with the "CHANGE" button being grayed out.
Go to your Report -> Select Expert -> and now you have three choices: Record, Group, Saved Data. Put your select statement using your parameters in the Saved Data only (remove it from Record if already there).
It works awesome and even works on dynamic parameters!

Crystal Report Viewer and border problems

Post Author: catalinandrei00
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello there, I've created an report and I've added borders for the fields in the report (Right click on the field > Format Object -> Border -> Choose for the 4 margins the line-style single). The report is correctly exported to different formats (.doc, .pdf, .xls). My problem is that when I display the report in an ASP.NET 2.0 page using an Crystal Report Viewer the report is correctly shown but the borders don't appear.My question is why the borders don't appear in the Crystal Report Viewer? Thanks for helping for solving this issue. It's very important.Catalin

Hello catalinandrei00
I have the exact opposite problem as yours.
I am using integrated crystal reports with Visual Studio 2005 and I have put a Crystal Viewer on a web page.
First I also had the same problem like yours and then in one of the post i found a solution for this. Hope it will work for you too. here it is :-
Just remove the following line from your aspx page.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Now regarding my problem. My problems is that now i can view the borders and everything correctly in the viewer but when i try to print the report it automatically exports to Adobe first and BAM!!! the format disappears. Though if i export to word Doc format it export perfectly fine with all the borders and everything
I hope some other reader will come to my rescue...pls HELP.

Error on installation (Crystal Reports 2008 and Windows 7)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a Windows 7 laptop. Receiving Error 1904, Module C:\PROGRAM FILES\BUSINESS OBJECTS\BUSINESSOBJECTS ENTERPRISE 12.0\win32_x86\ReportConvTool.dll failed to register. This seems like a premissions error, but I have full admin rights on this system.
We are starting training next week and I need to get the software installed.
Any help you can provide would be great!
Thanks!

I have been looking and found the exact error above.
So 2 of us have it but as yet there is not a fix.
I understand that SP3 will help, but my problem at this second is I can not get the productr toload for the first time.
Thus I do not think I can apply SP3.
Or (which is possilbe) am I wrong
I will give it a go
Thanks

Crystal Reports XI and Windows 7 Logo compliance

Hi all,
my company is in the process of certifying our ERP (written in Visual Basic 6), for the Windows 7 Client Logo Program.
This certification requires the all the files (including third party ones) that are installed outside the program own install folder (as Crystal Reports runtime files for istance) are digitally signed.
In our application we use Crystal Reports XI RDC and for the distribution of the Crystal Reports XI runtime we use the COM merge modules that we embed in our setup program.
If digitally signed files are not available, the Win7 logo test requires a proof of communication sent to the vendor to request a signed version of the redistributables, to be able to have a "waiver" granted for the unsigned files.
Is there a version of the merge modules with digitally signed files? Or who in Sap can i contact (i need a mail address) for requesting the signed version of the runtime files?
Thanks in advance.

Well, looking at the CR XI r2 Supported Platforms documentation I see the following:
Supported Operating Systems:
u2022 Windows Vista (All 32-bit and 64-bit Editions)
u2022 Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (All 32-bit and 64-bit Editions)

u2022 Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition
u2022 Windows Server 2003 SP1 Datacenter Edition

Crystal Report viewing and Printing Issue

Hi Experts
I use crystal Reports for PO,AR Invoice,Delivery and many other documents.It takes more than 5 mins to view layout from crystal report and print sequence printing takes more than 10mins.Please Help me to rectify this issue..
Regards
Naresh Kumar

Hi Naresh,
What is your SAP version and Patch Level ?
I believe in new version this issue has been addressed by SAP. Also note SAP B1 8.81 PL 07 has some issues in crystal Report, it asks for SQL user id and password, SAP is aware of this issue. So if you plan upgrade to latest PL then ensure that Crystal report issue is resolved, otherwise you will be in trouble.

Crystal Reports 9 and Windows Server 2003 sp1/sp2

Post Author: jnribeyrol
CA Forum: General
Hello,
due to security updates in my company, we have to upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to sp1 or sp2.
I haven't been able in the support to find out if there was any problem with Report Access Server on these SPs.
Can somebody help me.
regards

CR XI is past it's end of life. You can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free.
Go to: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Typically this is due to DEP, search forums for more info on how to configure it as well as your Anti-virus and/or Firewall may be stopping CR from running. You also need full Admin rights to install all components.
Thank you

Dear all,

After rename the file name to report.rpt, I can the report by double click report file.
This problem does not exist in Crystal Report Viewer XI. Any people encounter this problem?

Windows 2000 is not supported in current versions of CR. Check the platforms PDF file.

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!

How can I get the View Tab name on the Crystal Report Viewer at runtime?

When a report is displayed in the Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer and the user drills into the report, the drill down view is displayed in a seperate view and is identified via a View tab at the top of the report. I can determine the index of the view tab that is currently selected, but I need to access the text that is on the View tab. The only properties that I've found that pertain to the "view" on the Crystal Report viewer are the ActiveViewIndex and the ViewCount. Unfortunately, neither of these items help me because they are not specific to a certain section of the report. Has anyone had any luck accessing the View Tab properties ? Thanks.

The tabs at the top of the page are nested within some of the viewers controls. Through trial and error you just have to find the right one. In this case the main part of the report is in the first control. This happens to be a TabControl. From there you can loop through the TabPages on the TabControl to grab the names of the tabs.
Here is a quick example of what I did to get the tab text. All this code was in a button click event.
Control oControl = crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0];
TabControl oTabControl = (TabControl)oControl.Controls[0];
foreach (TabPage oTabPage in oTabControl.TabPages)
MessageBox.Show(oTabPage.Text);

Memory Full Error in Crystal Reports Viewer

Environment:
Windows 7 64 Bit
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Version 13.0.13.1597
SQL Server Database
Connecting with OLE BD (ADO)
I am previewing a report in the Crystal Reports Viewer and it instantly returns an error pop-up "Memory Full". When I run the report in the runtime environment on the same machine everything is fine. Other reports will run in the viewer. There seems to be a problem with just this one. This Report runs on a different machine with the same setup other than it is running 13.0.8.
I tried upgrading from 13.0.8 to the version above and there was no difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Koby

Use Modules or ProcessMonitor and compare what is missing between your DEV PC and Runtime Only PC.
May give you a clue as to what is missing or if it's permissions, DB client or third party dependencies.
Windows or WEB App?

Picture not showing in Crystal Report Viewer

We have an asp.net web solution that shows Crystal Reports using the crystal report viewer and also exporting the reports to PDF, Word and Excel The reports are working fine, but when showing the reports in the crystal report viewer the picture in the report is not shown (see crystalviewer.png), but when exporting to PDF, Word, Excel and so on, this picture is shown (PDF.png).
Can you check if this is an error in crystal report ? or is there some kinda security issue?
The report is not attached to this document, because the file type is not allowed.
We have even tried to install the latest version (13.0.9.1312) from your homepage.
This version also has the problem. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 Exporting crystal report
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, False, Page.Title)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report

Please provide more info on:
We use register to this page.
How is that done? Or, what is it that you do in the registry to manage the CR viewer?
