Crystal Reports 2008 sqlquery Using

We have an inquiry.
Now, we are using Windows XP, Visual studio 2008, Crystal Reports 2008.
Before, we had been used Windows XP, Visual studio 6, Crystal Reports 7.
Since we changed development Environment to Visual Basic.NET, we have some problem to process with previous method.
It was possible to send Query directly to Crystal Reports in previous development Environment. But, we do not know how to we do at VB.NET.
<Previous Coding>
Crystalreport.SQLQuery = u2018select * from TABLE order by dateu201D
We used as above.
Please let us know it is possible to use as above in Crystal Reports 2008 of VB.NET
We are using [VIEW] but, It is not possible to make [VIEW] with u201Corder byu201D. So we had been used above method for special cases.

Hi,
It is been my problem to, it is very a big adjustment in terms of coding and others, please refer to this link for a step by step guide using crystal report on vb.net., [CLICK HERE|http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?p=2686697]

Embed flash(Xcelsius) into crystal report 2008 while using Visual Studio

I am having some deep trouble with Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual studio. I have created a dashboard using Xcelsius 2008, embedded it in a report (along with flashvars) using Crystal Reports 2008.Then, I have added the .rpt file in a windows project in Visual Studio 2005. But the embedded swf file does not show in report designer in visual studio. And when I run the application the flash content is not displayed. However, when I export the report from the crystal report viewer toolbar to pdf format, I can see the flash content in the generated pdf file. Can anyone pls tell me how did you import the report file into visual studio so that the flash content shows up in the crystal report viewer.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It's not clear what viewing mode you tested in?
So to expand on AG's first line, the problem is in .NET IDE it uses the old CRViewer.dll for previewing reports from the Preview tab in .NET development IDE. This version of the viewer is for simple viewing only as it is old technology and does not support Flash files.
Second the ActiveX viewer will not support Flash files, you must use the CrystalDecisions.windows.Forms viewer or HTML and you need to be on SP1, any version before SP1 did have issues.
Compile and run your app in Release mode to verify if you can see the report as in CR Designer.
Thank you

How to set Excel Options using crystal reports 2008

Hi,
I am trying to figure out CR 8.5 (Crystal report control) Equivalents in Crystal reports 2008 using crystal report viewer in .Net but not able to find the exact replacments.
Properties used in CR 8.5
CRAXDRT.ExportOptions.ExcelUseWorksheetFunctions=True
CRAXDRT.ExportOptions.ExcelUseTabularFormat =True
CRAXDRT.ExportOptions.SetLogOnInfo(1,3,4,5)
Please let me know the replacements for the above mentioned properties in .Net using crystal report viewer (CR 2008)
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Ramnath

Hello,
The code that has been provided is of Report Designer Component.
RDC has been deprecated in Crystal Reports 2008.
Use the 'ExcelFormatOptions' class. It provides many options regarding exporting in an excel format.
ExcelFormatOptions myExportFormatOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
Try exploring the Developer guide for Crystal Reports .NET SDK [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary#section7]..

Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to R/3

I have a general question for Crystal Reports 2008 for use with R/3.
Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP/R3 Enterprise 4.7
I installed a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 and connected it to the R/3 instance using a oracle id which has admin rights so the session can see all of R/3 db including 000 client. It can see all tables within the database.
To deploy Crystal Reporting for an R/3 installation - is it advisable to connect directly to db? how do you maintain proper data element access? Do you create views for a oracle user id, or is there a delivered product or method for allowing user access using some other type of security that limits table access to say finance tables?
John

Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

Crystal Reports 2008 Export formats

We have a full version of Crystal Reports 2008 for use with our .net application. I also tried using the ReportAppServer's .NET assemblies but could not find a way to export to the following formats (this was possible in the previous versions of Crystal Reports)
Excel 8.0
Excel 8.0 Tabular
HTML 3.2
Looks like these are not supoorted with Crystal 2008? Can someone please confirm this?
I came accross a document that suggested use of Excel Export Compatibility patch to support lagacy versions of excel but could not find where to download the patch from.
Also, I did not find any document on what defalt HTML version the crystal viewer exports to. I believe it's HTML 4.0. Is this correct?

Hello,
Install the latest patches for CR 2008, SP2, and you'll find the legacy formats have been added back in for Excel and HTML 3.2 is an option.
Thank you
Don

Issue with use of shared variables in Crystal Reports 2008 Offline Viewer

Hi,
I have a report that contains a number of sub-reports which include drill-down functionality. The report returns data relating to an individual team with the user being able to view top level summary information in each area from the parent report and then drill into the sub-reports to view see more detail. The data returned by the sub-reports is filtered, using sub-report links, based on the team code parameter value given by the user. This parameter field resides in the main report.
One of the values returned by the main report is the team name. This is passed to each sub-report using a shared variable and each sub-report displays this team name as part of a heading.
This all works fine in Crystal Reports 2008, but when a report, containing data, is opened using Crystal 2008 Offline Viewer there is a problem with the shared variable. The value is displayed correctly when the user initially drills into the sub-report. However, when the user begins to drill into grouped data within the sub-report the value passed to the sub-report using the shared variable disappears.
How can I ensure that, when a report is viewed using Crystal Offline Viewer 2008, the value within the shared variable is not lost when users drill into grouped data within sub-reports
Thanks
Stuart

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by tabbed reporting. Do you mean having multiple reports open at once within the Crystal Reports Designer?
If this is the case, the viewer is designed to only have one report open at a time.

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:

How to connect to SAP R/3 using Crystal Reports 2008 from Crystal Designer?

but still dont know how to do the second question mentioned in previous message:

Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 tool to directly reports on SAP R\3 data?

Hi,
Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 Designer to directly reports on SAP R\3 data without any additional Integration Kit for SAP?
I believe the Integartion Kit is only for reporting on SAP BW data.
Thanks in advance for your response and any additinal details you can provide.
Thanks,

Using Crystal Reports 2008 standalone to edit CR basic reports?

Can I use a stand-alone Crystal Reports 2008 to edit reports created with Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008?
On this project I am working with other developers who don't want to install the full CR 2008 and I really need to to use full CR 2008 to be able to edit a few things in reports I can't do with CR basic in Visual Studio (like changing colors for bars in charts which you can't edit in VS).
I also don't want to use the CR 2008 runtime for running the application, just the runtime which comes with VS 2008.
Is it safe to edit a report in CR 2008 and then use it within Visual Studio (assuming I don't add any CR 2008 specific functions)?
I made a test and installed CR 2008 but without installing the .NET options (however only 1.1 and 2.0 was listed I guess I need to install SP0 to get VS 2008 support anyway). I could change colors for bars etc and save it and open it again in VS 2008. VS complained about
The full CR designer is also much better to work with so if I can use full CR 2008 without affecting my VS application that would be nice (I guess installing the .NET components would force the use of CR 2008 runtime assemblies).
Also another question:
When you use datasets as datasource and use the preview in VS it will use some fake data. But in CR 2008 stand-alone you don't get any data at all. Is there a way to do the same with full CR?

Hi Magnus,
You can use CR 2008 to edit reports but there are warnings. .NET version of CR is 10.5, based on the CR version 10 functionality. CR 2008 has much more functionality so as long as you don't add any features of CR 2008 to the reports then it should work. But it is recommended that you use the same version for functionality and 100% compatability.
Yes you do need SP0 installed.
You should also upgrade to CR 2008 Developer then you can use the full SDK functionality within .NET and be able to support all the latest OS platforms.
Please post a separate question for your database question. Use one posting for each question, if not the posts tend to get messy.
Thank you

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

Hi Anita
Crystal Reports 2008 doesnu2019t have 64 bit support or runtime hence you are getting the attached error.
To run the application with Crystal reports there are two workarounds:
1. Run the IIS under 32 bit mode so that your application will use 32 bit Crystal Reports runtimes.
For this please do the steps mentioned below:
1.When compiling the application in Visual Studio .NET 2008 you will need to force it to 32 bit mode.
You can do this by right-clicking the project name in the Solution Explorer.
2.For VB.NET
Click Compile, then Advanced Compile Options. For the Target CPU drop down box, change it from "AnyCPU" to "x86" then click OK.
3.For C#.NET
Click Build and change the Platform Target option from "Any CPU" to "x86".
Now follow the steps mentioned in the Kbase article from below link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435
You should then be able to run the application on a 64 bit OS without error.
The second workaround is
To change the references in your web application to CR 10.5 i.e. Crystal Reports basic for Visual Studio 2008. Crystal Reports 10.5 has the runtime for 64 bit machine.
For this:
1. Uninstall Crystal Reports 2008 from your machine.
2. Run the set up file for Visual Studio 2008 (from CD or the installation source that you use).
3. Click on Repair.
4. From the list of components select Crystal Reports 10.5 and click on Next.
5. After the repair is done you should be able to use the application using Crystal Reports.
Hope this helps!!
