Crystal XI can i force client pc to use my reports internal printer driver not PC default

Post Author: tjarre
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have created a report using Crystal XI on my PC using a virtual printer - i did this so that i can have hugeA2 sized paper and hence a huge report with lots of columns on it.
when this report gets viewed on a client PC [via a report viewer], if the client PC has no default printer the report views fine. If the client PC has a default printer installed then this gets picked up and the report invariably gets clipped. at design time can i set something so that the reports internal printer driver always gets used? NB the report will never be printed - just needs to be viewed.
the only workarounds i can see are for users to remove all their printers or install the virtual printer that i used - neither of which are very workable
any help appreciated Tom

Tom,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem other than checking the "No Printer" option and redesigning the report from scratch? I'm running into the same problem with a report I'm working on. When I check the "No Printer" option it completely messes up the report formating and causes data not to display.

  • How can I force Time Machine to use existing backup sparsebundle files?

    I backed up both my OSX Mountain Lion MBP and MacOSX Snow Leopard iMac to the same USB Disk. I then plugged this USB Disk into my Time Capsule, and configured Time Machine in both macs to use it through the network. But Time Machine insists on creating new backup sparsebundle files, ignoring the existing ones. How can I force Time Machine to use the existing backups.backupdb sparsebundle files instead of creating new ones?

    How can I force Time Machine to use the existing backups.backupdb sparsebundle files instead of creating new ones?
    You can't. Time Machine works differently over a network than it does with a locally-attached drive. What you could do is delete the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume, which contains the backups you made via USB. You should then be able to backup to the same sparsebundle locally and over the network. But I wouldn't recommend doing that. Certainly don't do it unless you have at least one other complete backup (which you should have anyway.)

  • How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated

    How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated after making changes to the repository copy of the jpg logo object in the repository?   The reports are in the enterprise items folder of the repository and the logo.jpg file is in a subfolder of repository items.  I made changes but the changes seem to apply only after I set my options in crystal reports and open the actual rpt file itself. 
    Is there a way to have the changes to the logo show / apply in all reports that have the repository item logo inserted into it without having to open every rpt file in the repository?

    Yes, I understand that...  the problem I was having was that check box being unchecked whenever an unrelated change was made to rpt file...  I was able to ensure that it remained checked by doing save as to the rpt file and making sure the "enable repository refresh" box was checked and replacing the file when prompted upons saving the rpt file...

  • Can the iPod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive? (w/ no syncing)

    Dear Forum:
    Can the Ipod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive where I can manually (without syncing) transfer photos to the drive? My goal is to be able to transfer images from my MacBook (OS 10.4.11) to the Ipod and then erase some of the pics on my MacBook to save space; this will be something I'd doing when I'm traveling--I don't want to be carrying my desktop external hard drive with me.
    Naturally I don't want to sync the photos onto the Ipod because I'll be erasing photos to save space. By the way, I use Aperture 2 (with latest firmware) if it helps to know.
    Ideally, is there a way I can "see" the Ipod as an external hard drive, so I can move files onto it?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Can I use my old internal hard drive and copy everything into the new one?

    My internal hard drive is running out of space, and I want to buy a new one. But to do that, I'll have to buy a external hard drive to back up everything and then copy it back onto the new internal hard drive , right? I don't have that much budget. So can I use the old internal hard drive that I took out of my Macbook and copy everthing back into the new internal hard drive after the repalecment? so I don't need to buy a external hard drive to back up everything
    Tks!

    You will have to buy a new HDD and an enclosure to make the transfer.  You can use Disk Utility to make the transfer.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them. INSTALLING
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • How can I force specific devices to use a specific Airport Express?

    I have an Airport Extreme router on the main level of my three level house. I have a 1st Generation Airport Express on the same level, extending my wireless network and acting as an airplay device.
    I have added another Airport Express (2nd Generation) in my basement to be close to several wifi-ready devices (Wii, AV receiver, Blu-ray player). How can I force these particular devices to connect to the new and 'closest' device, just 20 feet away? Some, but not all, are connecting still to my Airport Extreme with a 'good/average' connection. Specifically, I'd like to force the blu-ray player to use my new Express, to eliminate buffering on my blu-ray player (Vudu - movie rentals).
    Suggestions?

    It might help to remember that the AirPort Express...or any other "extending" device....can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    So the trick is to get the best signal possible to the extending device......and also....have it provide a good signal for other devices.  It's a compromise at best with the best location for the "extending" device about half the distance between the main router and the devices that need more wireless signal.
    This assumes no major obstructions in the signal path.....and unfortunately a floor/ceiling is a major obstruction....often the thickest barrier in a home.
    Unfortunately, users tend to locate the extending device where they feel that they need more wireless coverage....in a weak signal area....and then the extending device receives a weak signal and extends that weak signal quality.  The result is little or no improvement at all.
    It is going to take some experimentation to find the best compromise if you want to extend using wireless only. Even a good connection results in half of the bandwidth being lost, so you might want to think about a "Plan B" in case wireless will not deliver the bandwidth that you need.

  • I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

    I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
    Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

    1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
    2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • Old iPod mini can't be recognized after formatting, and iTunes 'Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.'

    My roommate gave me an old iPod Mini a few days ago. It was working fine 'til I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to format it. I did, and now it cannot be recognized by iTunes or my computer. My computer views it as a "removable disk" which cannot be accessed. In devices, it is listed as an Apple iPod though, so I'm hoping not all is lost. I have tried many quick fixes I've read on internet (including changing disk letter) but to no avail. I have reinstalled the new iTunes and now that is telling me it has not installed properly, and when I ran diagnostics, it reads that the Apple Mobile Device Driver not found. I will copy & paste all the info from the diagnostic run below, and if anybody can help me with my new (old) iPod, I'd be everly greatful!

  • Pavilion g6 internal hard drive not working , Can I use WD internal hard drive ?

    HP internal hard drive is looking very costly.
    Can you tell me whether I can use WD internal hard drive or not . If yes then How much RPM hard drive I need to buy?

    Hi,
    We won't concern about RPM, faster (more rpm) is better. The HDD's are much, much, much, much cheaper now. They were more expensive during a flood in Thailand few yours back. Yes, you can use WD HDD for your computer. You can pick one from the following list:

  • Can an Apple Time capsule be used as a external hard drive?

    Hello I have a 4th Generation time capsule and I've had it for some time now and never used it and I was wondering if it could be used as a external hard drive instead of just a back up disk. Also I am planning to install a copy of Windows 7 on my Mid 2011 21.5" iMac and I was wondering if Windows would recognize the TC as a external hard drive and would alow me to use it as such.

    It is not an external hard disk.. you cannot use it via USB if that is what you mean.
    It is now and forever more a Network drive. You can store files on it as a network drive.. with the following provisos.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.
    Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Windows can also use the TC for files. Much the same warnings apply.

  • How can i force a mail link to open in the viewer and not in the Mail App?

    Hello to everybody!
    I've a trouble about the mail links in a digital pubblication. I've to force a mail link to open inside the viewer.
    A normal mail link causes the exit of the app and switch into the iPad Mail App... Is it possible force to open the mail link inside the folio with the DPS?
    I've seen other digital pubblication made outside the DPS that can open the mail tab of the Mail App without exiting the starting App...
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    You can't with DPS, it will always launch the mail application registered with the operating system.

  • I'm missing the "foxfire" button. It's simply not there and I need to re-import my IE favorites, but I can't becasue the new upgrade forces you, (me), to use a button that simply is not there at the top left where it should be but isn't.

    Well that's pretty much it. The foxfire help page, now that I've upgraded to the newest version says to look for the "foxfire" button at the top left which would be located in the blue bar that instead still tells me what the name of that particular page is that I am viewing, just as it always has but there is no "foxfire button there for me to click on in order to get my bookmarks, my favorites re-imported from IE version 6.0. I actually installed them via the instructions under foxfire version 6.0 a month ago originally without any problem, and then again on version 7.0 after I recently rebuilt this machine using windows 2000 professional and everything got imported Okay except for one file... And of course it was the most important folder, my favorites folder which I had named "business" because it was the folder which contained all my links that I need for "business". So naturally, I am eagerly awaiting a reply to tell me what it is that I need to do. Could it be as simple as I have not re-booted since I upgraded earlier today/yesterday? That actually IS a possibility I suppose because I don't remember re-booting afterward or being told to in or after the process of upgrading. After the upgrade, there simply was not any indication that I needed to. (As I recall anyhow!) It's currently one in the morning and that was twelve hours ago. But I honestly don't think that I was instructed to after clicking on "install" the new version. But if it did tell me to afterward, I'm sure I must have even though I don't remember it as my extensive history with personal computing and installing everything from hardware to software including operating systems tells me that if it had told me to re-boot, I would have.
    Thank you in advance,
    Eric G.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

    http://europe.nokia.com/A4144989
    This is a user to user support forum.
    To hear the voice tag for a contact go to Contacts, open a contact, scroll to the detail with the voice tag symbol on the right (likes like a pac man face), Options, Play voice tag.
    If the voice tags are not being created automatically or are not being used then there may be a problem with your phone.
