Post Author: RichardF
CA Forum: Deployment
I have made a silent deployment of Crystal Reports XI. Because i dont want the user to get the registration popup when crystal reports is started for the first time, i was wondering if i can disable it with a registry setting. (or a maybe there is a better solution)
thanks Richard

Depending on how you are running your silent deployement, you could just add the registration key to the registry at the end of your silent installation.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Keycodes\CR Pro] "Serial"="Valid 10 digit reg#"
Since we have so many installations and we don't want every one of our users registering their products, we use this method.

Registration of Crystal Reports

Hello to All:
Newbie here, How does one go about registering copies of Crystal Reports. Where on the SAP site is the link.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Registration of individual products is no longer needed in the same sense as it was used in the older Business Objects Support realm.
You can call 800-877-2340 (customer service) and inquire about a registration number and they will explain the benefits of accessing SAP web pages.

How to disable highlighting in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
does anyone know how I can disable highlighting of fields when using the .NET 2.0 CrystalReportViewer 2008?
See as example: http://i31.tinypic.com/30ivshs.png
The problem is, that the highlighting is meaningless and thus confusing, and additional to that it also leaves lightgray artifacts (background of the field9 on the screen after highlighting. The latter problem is not happening on every configuration though, probably related to color settings.
Regards,
Florian

I do not see this highlighting in my reports, unless I design them to be as such. Questions and a suggestion:
Do you see this highlighting in the CR designer?
Is this a web or a win app?
Download SP 2 for CR 2008 (12.x) and see if this helps. SP 2 is here:

Dynamic Images in Crystal Reports

I have a report with Dynamic Images. I am able to run the report but once I try to export it or try to browse through the pages I get the following error:
Application popup: Crystal Reports - [Inventory Graphics Report.rpt]: crw32.exe - Application Error : The exception Integer division by zero.
(0xc0000094) occurred in the application at location 0x2c03a410.

Hi Don,
I have read your response 10 times, but I don't really understand it.
"Your only option is to use the Insert OLE Object or picture into the report" - fine, but how is this achieved from a dataset?
"CR will not display BLOB fields as pictures" - fine, but maybe I used the word BLOB badly. The dataset column datatype is "byte[]". Will CR display byte[] columns as pictures?
"You can use a database field to point to which picture file to use, then you won't be using up valuable memory space importing the images into your data set. And the Logo's now dynamic...." - this seems to suggest that the database field is a string storing the file location on disk. Yes? I don't care about memory space in this case and I'm happy to load a binary file into a byte[] column if there is a way of displaying it.
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting the dataset contain a table.row.column which stores the filelocation. How do I convert that to display as a picture (dynamically)?

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?
Hello Experts!
I'm using VS2003 with Crystal Reports for VS2003.
I need to show a popup window clicking a hyperlink text object on my crystal report.
On the CrystalReportViewer I have set up HyperlinkTarget=_blank, and it's working fine.
But when I click on the hyperlink and shows the popup window, how can I show the popup window without menubar, toolbar, directories, etc.
Something like:
window.open('../MyPage.html?id=id001" + Cad + "',null,'menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes')

Adam is correct. The closest you can get is setting the CrystalReportViewers HyperlinkTarget to _blank. It was seen as a potential security vulnerability to allow you to run scripts from a Crystal Reports. In our Enterprise product you can use a reg key called EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects to control whether this can be turned on or off.
Unfortunately this was never ported over to our .NET CrystalReportViewer.
This is referenced in notes 1202803, 1219298, and 1219301.

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer - No Error Popup

Similar to this post: Error message that says "No Error" from CR Viewer, I have just upgraded by Application to .net 4.0 and Crystal Reports 2010. The report viewer works fine the first time a report is loaded, but when I change the parameters on the report, and put the updated report back into the report viewer, I get the message shown above. The report does not change its parameters and the updated report is not displayed. The code in question is setting the date parameters for the report. The user can select new date parameters from the form that encloses the report viewer. The code subclasses the Report Object code to add additional functions through interfaces. The IDateRange interface provides a starting and ending date range for the report using a property on the report class as follows:
    Public Property EndingDate() As Date Implements IDateRange.EndingDate
        Get
            Return _endingDate
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Date)
            _endingDate = value
            Me.SetParameterValue("EndingDate", value)
        End Set
    End Property
In addition, the immediate Window shows the following message:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
The code in the Report Viewer looks like this, see line marked in blue for when pop-up appears:
''' <summary>
''' Sets the report period and displays it.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="Report">The Report.</param>
''' <param name="Refresh">if set to <c>true</c> force a refresh.</param>
Private Function PFSetReportPeriod(ByVal Report As Object, Optional ByVal Refresh As Boolean = True) As Boolean
    Dim fld As FormulaFieldDefinition
    Dim bRefresh As Boolean = False
    Dim rpt As ReportClass = CType(Report, ReportClass)
    Try
        If CRV.ReportSource IsNot Nothing Then
            rpt = CType(CRV.ReportSource, ReportClass)
        End If
If TypeOf rpt Is IDateRange Then
    With DirectCast(rpt, IDateRange)
.        StartingDate = dtpFromDate.Value
.        EndingDate = dtpToDate.Value
    End With
    SetTitleLine2(DirectCast(Report, ReportClass), bRefresh)
    bRefresh = True
Else
    If TypeOf rpt Is ReportClass Then
       fld = rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields("FromDate")
       If Not fld Is Nothing Then
            fld.Text = "Date(" & dtpFromDate.Value.Year & "," & dtpFromDate.Value.Month & "," & dtpFromDate.Value.Day & ")"
            bRefresh = True
        End If
        fld = rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields("ToDate")
        If Not fld Is Nothing Then
            fld.Text = "Date(" & dtpToDate.Value.Year & "," & dtpToDate.Value.Month & "," & dtpToDate.Value.Day & ")"
            bRefresh = True
        End If
        SetTitleLine2(rpt, bRefresh)
    End If
End If
    If Refresh And bRefresh Then
        If dtpToDate.Value <> CDate(dtpToDate.Tag) OrElse _
           dtpFromDate.Value <> CDate(dtpFromDate.Tag) Then
                System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
            If CRV.Visible Then CRV.ReportSource = rpt ' The popup appears when this statement is executed.
            If CRV.Visible = True Then CRV.Refresh()
            dtpToDate.Tag = dtpToDate.Value
            dtpFromDate.Tag = dtpFromDate.Value
           Return True
        End If
    End If
Catch ex As Exception
    DisplayException(ex)
End Try
Return False
End Function

Problem has been resolved. I downloaded Support Pack 8 (v.13.0.8.1216) from this location. I then applied the fix from the entry above:
With CRV ' Report Viewer Control
    If .Visible Then
        If .ParameterFieldInfo IsNot Nothing Then .ParameterFieldInfo.Clear()
        .ReportSource = rpt
        .Refresh()
    End If
End With
And no more annoying "No Error" messages.

Disabling copy feature in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 SP2

Hi ,
When I tried Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 SP2 , I saw a new feature which allows user to copy content of the report after selecting it. I am using .net 4.0 winform application. I want to suppress this feature. I want the selection of objects in report to work as earlier version. I could hide the copy icon in toolbar . But that doesn't change the way selections happens in the report . Please tell me how to suppress the copy feature completely when we use SP2 ?

Hi Jijo Paul,
We found a hidden method to disable the copy as it used to be. It is hidden meaning it's not supported so if you run into any problems using it or if it gets removed there is nothing we can do for you but give this a try:
// this hides the button and disables the CTRL C command
crystalReportViewer1.ShowCopyButton = false;
crystalReportViewer1.SelectionMode = CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.SelectionMode.None;
Thanks again
Don

Crystal Reports software registration

I recently sold 5 copies of Crystal Reports XI Standard (boxed product) to a customer, and after they worked with the product for a couple of weeks, they decided that the product would not do what they needed, and they ended up shelving the product. I purchased 2 copies of the product back from them, as I have a need for it in my office. Unfortunately, they already registered the product, and when I try to register it with my company information, I'm getting a warning dialog that the product has already been registered. I called the 800 number for support, and they told me that I needed to have this addressed through this forum. Can you please provide assistance so that I can get this taken care of?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim,
No worries. You only need to modify the registry settings. Before modifying the registry I recommend you to take a strong backup of it on a local drive.
We need to make Crystal Reports recognize the valid registration number:
1. Start the Registry Editor. On the 'Start' menu, click 'Run'. Type 'Regedit' and click 'OK'.
2. Expand the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Keycodes\CR Std
NB:
CR Std for Crystal Reports Standard Edition
CR Dev for Crystal Reports Developer Edition
CR Pro for Crystal Reports Professional Edition
3. Highlight the 'CR Std' folder and go to the 'Edit' menu and click 'New' then 'String Value'.
4. Enter 'Serial' as the string value.
5. Right click 'Serial' and select 'Modify'. Enter your registration number as the 'Value Data'.
Exit the Registry. When you re-start Crystal Reports, the 'About Crystal Reports...' screen will display your valid registration number
If you are unable to see the changes, please revert to me.
Regards,
Arun Sasi

Registration code for Crystal Reports Professional 8 needed

We purchased Crystal Reports several years back for using with Epicore Vista, our ERP. We've recently migrated our database to a new server and need to install Crystal Reports. However, all we have are the cd and serial number, not the registration code. Upon install, it takes us to a non-functional web address.

Consultant "Registration code not sent for Crystal Reports Basic for VS2003

I need to know how to receive a CR registration code for VS2003.
In VS2003 when I open a Crystal Report, Iu2019m asked for a registration code. So I registered at the SAP website for the CR Basic for VS2003 license, but all I received was an email below. So where is my registration code for this? Where can I get one so I can stop the nag screen.

Hello,
Unless you or someone else edited your original posting there's no "email below" in your post. If the email has a keycode in it you don't want to post it here. You don't want to share your keycode with everyone.
Do you see a 19 or 23 digit alpha-numeric keycode in the email you received? If so, that's your keycode. If not, let us know and we'll see if we can find out who you can contact to receive your keycode.

Disable Crystal reports grey fields in the preview

Dear forum users, I've got an application not written by me (so I do not have source code) that displays a Report in a standard Crystal Report Viewer. In the preview when I click on a field it gets rounded with a grey border, filled with a grey background.
This is causing me some problems when I use the application via Remote Desktop Connection.
Since I don't like this feature the question is: can I disable this feature (maybe by changing an entry in the Registry Editor)?
Best regards
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
I think maynot be. whats the screen resolution of your system? If you change it probably you can see that particular grey box clearly.
or
try to export that file to excel or pdf. probably you will see the file with you vagueness.

Cannot install Crystal Reports 8.5 Pro - no Registration code

We want to re-install Crystal Reports Profession 8.5 because the old PC it was installed has been replaced. We have the CD and the keycode but cannot complete the process.The installation asks for the keycode and then all our details which we enter including a valid email but it seems to attempt to go a incorrect web address (displays http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/index.epx) and we get no registration code.
Searching and trawling about the SAP forums here didn't seem to help. Can anyone point us to the correct place to get a valid registration code.

Hello,
Is the old PC still available? If so you can get if from there. You could try contact Customer Services but I doubt they would be able to get you a new registration number. CR 8.5 is close to 10 years old and with the name changes none of those old servers are running now.... Try calling the number in the help about box.
Other than that you'll just have to put up with the registration nag screen.
Thank you
Don

How to disabled the input parameter dialog box in crystal reports 9

Post Author: Murtaza
CA Forum: General
Hi friends,I have got stuck with a weird problem. In my
crystal report, I have set up some input parameters. I am setting
values for these parameters somewhere inside code. But I don't
want to show the default input parameter dialog box. Under any case,
user should not see the ugly parameter dialog box that crystal
presents. Please suggest me how I can achieve
this. I cannot do this through code, because our environment does
not allow that. I have to do this in crystal reports viewer and
by setting some property of the crystal report object. But everything
must be done on UI, not through code. So, the solution should not be the following.
// step before step 1
// **** the line needs to refer to the report and be set before setting
ReportSource in the viewer to myReport
myReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Murtaza

Post Author: sleahcim
CA Forum: General
Hi Murtaza,
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any method to suppress the prompt for the input parameters, but still use them. It is truly a design-related issue for the report. The reason that the prompt appears is because the parameter it is prompting for is used in the report; in particular either the Group or Record Selection, or referenced in another formula.
The only way I can think of to not show the prompt, is to not use the parameter in the report. You did mention that you are setting the value of the parameter inside of the report -- are you doing this through using a formula? Perhaps you can just remove the parameter and only use the formula that you are setting the default values with.
