Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

Hello
  In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
Thank you
alpha

Moved to Database forum.
No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.
Thank you
Don

    Thanks for that, that was my first suggestion but he wants to not email either. His problem is he used his old nokia to do it and it was fine, now anything other than that he thinks is too much hassle.

    How can you upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook without having the sync where if you delete from iPhoto you delete

    I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.

  • How can you fix your iphone when it is stuck on the apple logo

    My Friend has an iPhone 3G(S) and  he wanted to put music on his iPhone. So he connected it to iTunes and said that the iPhone Had an iOS update. so he did the update and after the update, it got stop on the apple logo and it got an error and the iPhone is not responding and it is stuck on the Apple Logo.

    Alright Hernan there are a couple of steps you could try.
    Your first step has been mentioned twice, that is a "Hard reset". This can be done by holding both the Power/Lock Button (Top left hand corner of the device) and the Home Button (Circular button in the Bottom-Middle of the device) for about 3-5 seconds until the device shuts down, then attempt to start it up again.
    If this fails, you may have to take a rather drastic measure and put the device into "Forced Recovery Mode". This will erase all your data on your iPhone (So I'd hope you won't have to do this unless you backed up recently) and reset it to an empty device.
    To do this, head over to this article on the Apple Support Site and follow the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    It does say for unable to restore or update, but look for the section where it says "Use the following steps to place your device into recovery mode."
    Hope this helps you!

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0.1 and have not been able to use my DigitalPersona fingerprint login since. Will this be added on or can you tell me how to go back to using the older version of Firefox so I can use my fingerprint login again? Thanks

    I have not been able to use my digitalPersona v4.11.3826 (fingerprint login) since I downloaded firefox 4.0.1. Will this be incorporated to the add-ons or if not, can you tell me what the easiest way is to go back to using the older version of Firefox?

  • How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

    I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print.  Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file.  However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it. 
    Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
         Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
         Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
         Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
         Dim Fname as string
         CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
         CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
         Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
         CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
         With crExportOptions
              .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
              .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
              .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
         End With
         CrReportDocument.Export()
         Response.ClearContent()
         Response.ClearHeaders()
                    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    Response.Charset = ""
                    Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                    Response.Flush()
         Response.Close()
         System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
    End Sub
    So here are my questions?
    1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
    2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
    I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer. 
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer  ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; )  however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
    The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked.  The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead  (You have to do this check in a postback)
            Dim I As Integer = 0
            If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
                For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                    Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                    If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                        CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                    End If
                Next
           End If

  • HT3622 can you sync your device on another computer aside from the origional one you registered your device on/

    is it possible to sync your apple device to a different computer than the one you origionally register it on?

    You can sync it to any of your computers you like.
    It may erase the current content from the device and replace with the content from the new computer.

  • Can you facetime from imac i5 to an ipad2 using the same apple id on both devices?

    i'm pretty sure you can't but before i set up another email address just so i can facetime the ipad2 i thought i'd ask.
    thank you in advance for any answers!

    no you will need to create a new id for one of the devices because you are not able to facetime yourself with the same id for some reason probably has to do with communication issues but the accounts are free so just create a new account on one of them

  • If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos?  This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

    If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it?  This was before Icloud was available.  Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

    iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
    As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    can you sync your iphone to a specific date?

    The only control you have is that, if you're syncing Calendars in iTunes, you can specify how many days back you want to go (e.g. "Last 30 days")
    Other than that, not really - you can do thing slike limit how meany messages Mail downloads, but that's not much help

  • I have never used Illustrator...can you give me step by step instructions to use your t-shirt template? I watched the tutorials, but they leave out basic information

    Can you give me step by step instructions to use the tshirt template for someone who has never used this program before

    a free trail of lynda.com could help

    You might also try adobe's set of tutorials.
    What you are asking is beyond the scope of this forum.
    It's sort of equivalent to asking for step-by-step instructions for using cruise control for someone who has never driven a car before.
    You will need to take some time to learn the program before you can successfully create work in it.

  • No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
    But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
    I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
    Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
    Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
    Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sunny

    Hello
    The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
    Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

  • Crystal Reports hides rows from source BW query

    Hi Experts,
    I currently have a BW query with two structures: 1) key figure structure in the columns and 2) another characteristics structure in the rows.
    Here are additional details:
    1.  I have the MDX connectivity transports installed
    2.  I have successfully linked a crystal report to this source BW query.
    My only problem is that if a certain row in the source BW report is blank (meaning it does not have any values), Crystal Reports automatically suppresses it and does not show my full row structure in the output.  I would like the report to show all rows regardless of any data values or lack of.  I do not have zero suppression in BW or Crystal Reports.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I would recommend to extract the MDX query out of your CR report ( Database->Show SQL statement) and use the MDX transaction to test it directly against your BW server. This way you make sure if the suppression takes place already on the BW side or in the CR itself.
