Crystal Report Viewer | Issue Default Exporting to Excel

hi,
if any 1 of the column is empty in the report then when exported to the excel the null valued column value is printed by the next column.
For example if i have columns such as A,B,C and B has null values, then B is replaced by c.
Is this a bug?
Thanks and regards,
Dhinesh B

Editable RTF, because of the static nature of header and footer information, has restrictions on field display mapping Crystal page numbering to Word page numbering.
RTF export does not, since header and footer information is not placed in header and footer, but in the body itself as static text.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:
"The report you requested requires further information"
asking for DB login credentials. How can I avoid this?

This is because almost any action on the viewer result sin a postback. This includes paging, zooming, drilling exporting and printing. E.g.; you will have to place the report in session. See the following KB for how to:

Pass along Crystal Report file name on export to Excel

Hello, I am using Crystal Reports 10 and create numerous Crystal reports, all of which end up being exported out to Excel. Is there a way to export the name of the Report or its file name out to Excel as well? I work with so many reports that I can't always trace back the Excel version of the report back to its Crystal report roots.
Thank you.

Hi
In field explorer Use Special Field called File Path and Name drag and place it in Report Header
If you want just the report Name then use Report Title.
Cheers

IE11 and Crystal Reports Viewer issue

We have a Delphi application which launches Crystal Reports through a Java Web Module. The Delphi application gives users the option to view a single report or multiple reports (Crystal Reports). In previous versions of IE, everything worked fine. However, when we launch multiple reports in IE11, the first report loads properly but the other reports do not open the report in the new window. It opens our home page. So, first pop-up window shows the report1 without issues. Other pop-up windows for report2 – reportN, shows our home page instead of the requested report. Is there a fix for this issue?

Crystal Report Viewer issues

Hi, I'm starting with CR viewer for CR 2008 in VS 2008.
I have 3 problems. Look like easy problems, buy during the morning, I didn't found any solution.
3 questions:
- I want CR viewer like "dock = fill". viewer size 100% height and 100% width. I set BestFitPage to true and it doesn't work. I set BestFitPage to false, height and width to 100% and it doesn't work.
- Size of the viewer is the same of the page container. If I change manually size of the page, CR viewer changes too. I don't know how can I do this.
- When height and/or width of the report is greater than page, vertical scroll bar and/ horizontal scroll bar shows.
Wher's the tip??
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you see this issue in the CR designer? If so, please post to the Report Design forum:
SAP Crystal Reports
Note that if the issue exists in the CR designer, the issue will exist at runtime also and needs to be resolved in the designer 1st.
Hope this will help!!

Crystal Reports XI: formatting and exporting to Excel (VB 6)

Hi.
I have a VERY simple report that all I want it to do is display the numbers from a table EXACTLY as formatted and be able to export them to Excel, as NUMBER (not STRINGS).
Example:
My fields may contains the following values in a single column:
45.02
0.04454
215
And I want them to be displayed as entered in the source table.
Initially, to maintain the formatting, I set the field's data type to a STRING.
The problem is that when I then export the data to Excel, all the numerical values are treated as TEXT and we need to "Convert Text to Numbers".
When I changed the field's data type to a DOUBLE, the data in the table is correct, but the report formats all the numbers in one way. I want to be able to retain the formatting of the field (as-is) but have them exported as numbers, rather than text.
Can this be done?
Please advise!
Thanks.
AK

I actuallly found my answer elsewhere (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1235276&page=4).
The Decimal formattion (x=2) for the fields can be set as follows:
If CurrentFieldValue = Int(CurrentFieldValue) Then 0Else If CurrentFieldValue * 10 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 10) Then 1
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 100 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 100) Then 2
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 1000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 1000) Then 3
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 10000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 10000) Then 4
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 100000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 100000) Then 5
Else If CurrentFieldValue * 1000000 = Int(CurrentFieldValue * 1000000) Then 6
ElseDefaultAttribute
Basically - this works.
Hope this helps someone else!
Thanks.

Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes. For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same. Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

Crystal Report Viewer Export options

In the toolbar of Crystal Report Viewer, there is export button, click it it will pop-up the file dialog for you to choose the export format and dist file location.
the default(first choice) export format in CR2008 is ".rpt", , how can I set the default export format to ".pdf"?
Thanks for help.

Remove the viewer Export button from the toolstrip
Add a new Export button
On click event of the new Export button, present the user with custom export form
Use the following sample code
Private Sub frmReportPreview_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim ts As ToolStrip
Dim currentExportButton As ToolStripButton
Dim newExportButton As ToolStripButton
' Replace the export button with our own export button so we can handle the event ourselves
ts = DirectCast(CRViewer.Controls(4), ToolStrip)
currentExportButton = DirectCast(ts.Items(0), ToolStripButton)
ts.Items.Remove(currentExportButton)
newExportButton = New ToolStripButton("", My.Resources.Export, AddressOf ExportButton_Click)
newExportButton.ToolTipText = "Export report to disk"
ts.Items.Insert(0, newExportButton)
End Sub
Create windows form 'frmReportExport' that contains the export file types and their order, then use the following code:
Private Sub ExportButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim frmExport As frmReportExport
' Allow the user to specify options such as the name of the file and format before exporting.
frmExport = New frmReportExport
frmExport.Report = Report
frmExport.ShowDialog()
End Sub
Then use the code below to run the export from the custom report export windows form.
Report.ExportToDisk(exportFormat, fileExport.SelectedFilename)
Please do note. This is an unsupported, undocumented hack of the viewer. This may work for your current app, but you risk that the same approach may not work in future versions of the viewer...

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?

How to change default Export Format Type in Crystal Report Viewer

We are coding in VB.NET 2005 using the CR2008 SP1 .NET objects.
The Crystal Report Viewer, when displayed, defaults the export type as .rpt (Crystal Reports).
We distribute our .NET application to our customers. 99% of the time, this .rpt format is useless to our customers as they do not have crystal reports developer. They usually export to a .pdf or .xls format. Is there a way to default this export option to something other than .rpt?
Thank you.

Yes, that's as much as I figured.
With the Crystal for .NET methods, the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine's reportdocument object has an ExportToDisk method. We wanted to use this (as we used something similar with the RDC) to prompt the user to export. However, the reportdocument's exporttodisk method does not have an argument that allows for Prompting the user (true/false) like the RDC's export did. You have to actually know ahead of time the type of export the user wants as well as the filename. Well, we do not, and therefore, want the user to be able to select the type of export they want as well as enter their own filename. We want the Crystal methods to prompt for this. Since we are unable to, we've had to resort to declaring a reportviewer object and setting the viewer's reportsource = to the reportdocument. We then use the ExportReport() method which defaults to .rpt (which none of our end users have Crystal Developer). This is why we want to know if there is a way to reset the default export method to something more common (such as .pdf or .xls). Is there a way to change the reportdocument's file type in order to default the export type? Just trying to come up with some sort of workaround...
Thanks

Problem in crystal report viewer control's toolbar "export"button using SSL

Hi,
I would like to ask. My project is using BO XI Release 2 and VS-Studio 2005. Initially my project doesn't use SSL... At that time when i view the report with crystal report viewer control and can export (using built-in toolbar "export button"). Now project is using SSL and canu2019t export the error is
u201CInternet Explorer cannot download file from server.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.u201D
Actually this error can solve "Cache-control" change to "no-cache". But I donu2019t know in crystal reportu2026
Anyone can help ???
Thanks

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and ensure "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is unchecked.
Default is to have that option checked.
It was considered a IE security issue that IE saves all content to temp disk location unencrypted, even those pages served by HTTPS (for example, let's say you use HTTPS to download your bank info, and it's stored to temp disk for someone else to retrieve later). So more recent versions of IE implemented that option setting.
How that option setting works is strange - it downloads the file, saves to disk, then deletes the copy from the disk immediately, before passing it to the application responsible for the MIME type. So the application tries to open a directory path to a non-existing file.
Issue is specific to IE, and it's not something you can control via the SDK.
Sincerely,

Error With Export/Print from Crystal Report Viewer

Hello there,
I've searched through the web and SAP discussion boards with not much luck with this issue.
After working through this for some days now I've decided to look here for help.
Environment:
I have created a web Crystal Report viewer application(Developed with SBOP BI Platform 4.0 SP06 .NET SDK Runtime) that communicates with a managed Cyrstal Server 2011 SP4 (Product 14.0)
I am able to connect and authenticate with the server, retrieve a token for communication and display reports in the Crystal report Viewer successfully.
Problem:
When I attempt to export, I receive the prompt to select format and pages.
When I click export after selections most times I receive an error with the text
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{74EEBC42-6C5D-11D3-9172-00902741EE7C}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Other times the page simply refreshes on export.
When I click to print, no print dialog is displayed the page always refreshes and no error is displayed.
No Print or Export document is ever created.
As many print/export issues seems to be related, I'm guessing this two issues are as well.
Notes:
I am utilizing the ReportClientDocument model
I am storing this in session to use as the crystal report viewer report source on postbacks
I am assigning a subset of export formats to the crystal report viewer
I am setting particular parameters as well on the report source
At this point I would appreciate every assistance I may receive on this issue
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Don for your response,
I'm new to the SCN spaces and my content has been moved a couple of times already.
In response to your questions
The runtime is installed on the web application server, if by that you mean the machine hosting the created .NET SDK application.
My question was whether it was also required on the Crystal Server 2011 (I.E. the main enterprise server with CMS and Report management and I guess RAS and all that). I figured this would remain untouched and queries would simply be made against it to retrieve/view reports e.t.c
If install of the SDK on Crystal Server 2011 is indeed required should I expect any interruption to any of the core services after a restart. I.E. I'm hoping that none of the SDK objects would interfere with the existing server objects (in SAP Business Objects)Reason I ask is I note that much of the SDK install directories are similar to the existing Crystal Enterprise Server 2011 (Product 14.0.0)
Is this temp folder to be manually created/configured or is it created by the application automatically to perform tasks. Or are you referring to the default C:\Windows\Temp directory and so saying that the application would try to use this for print and export tasks?Once I'm sure which I'd give the app pool user permission
Printing is to be client side but I figured by default (with the Crystal Report Viewer) it would simply pool and print from the user's printer. This is how it works with the previously used URL reporting approach (viewrpt.cwr). Therefore a user can print the document from wherever they are with their own printer.We don't intend on printing from the server machine, but are you suggesting that a printer must be installed on server (which one web or enterprise server) for any client side printing to work.
App pool is running in 32 bit mode
Initially didn't get anything useful from fiddler but I'd try and look closer on your suggestion.
It's also possible that some of my questions are a misunderstanding of APP vs RAS vs WEB, so please feel free to clarify. Currently I see the Web server as simply the created .NET SDK Application and RAS (Crystal Server 2011 e.t.c) as the existing fully established Application server which I simply pool for information.
Thank you for your patience and advice,

Get blank report in Crystal Report Viewer when exporting to PDF

I have an application that creates reports in the CrystalReportViewer while at the same time exports a PDF of that report. I am having a problem in which
performing the export causes the report in the ReportViewer and the PDF report to be blank. They have the header and column labels but no data. If I
comment out the Me.Export(reportExportOptions) line at the end of the exportPDFReport method the report in the ReportViewer works fine, displaying
data on the report.
I have other forms that perfrom this same type of function on different reports and work fine. In fact they use the same exportPDFReport method. This leads
me to believe that a difference in the reports may be causing the problem. But I can't figure out why.
I am using .net 3.5 with Crystal Reports 2008 (CR2008) full edition in Visual Studio 2008. Although the reports that work were probably created using
VS 2005 and the VS 2005 edition of Crystal, and which have since been updated to CR2008.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks for any help!

Pretty much.
Seems I had at one time hard coded a record selection statement that I forgot to remove which caused the report to be blank. That solved my problem, but there still seems to be an issue in that the Crystal Report Viewer performed differently when I tried to export to PDF (no records displayed) then when I didn't (records displayed).

Crystal Reports Viewer Kerning issue

Hello, I am using the Crystal Reports Viewer and the .NET ReportDocument object to either display a Crystal Report or print it to PDF. I have one paragraph that is a disclaimer and appears in Times New Roman Italics. In this case, the word "of" appears with the letter o and the letter f almost overlapping. This only appears when using the viewer, if I use Crystal Reports to view or export the report, it works fine. If there is a way to upload images or supporting documents, I can provide an example.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Ludek,
- My default printer driver is Adobe PDF, installed with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. All reports will be printed to the Adobe Printer (not exported to PDF). I get better results this way.
- I tried without a printer selected as recommended with no effect.
- The problem is noticeable in both the viewer and the exported PDF.
- I have tried both a database field and a static text field. If you want I can create a text field in the report I supply to you that will be identical to the database field, so you can see that it occurs in both cases.
- Please note that this occurs in italicized text only. I'm using Times New Roman.
Let me know where I can provide you with the report file.
Thanks, Steve
P.S. I'm new to this forum so could you provide me with a link or an explanation on how to award points, what is appropriate, etc...
