Employee photo is causing one of our crystal reports to crash

Good Afternoon,
I'm currently using Crystal report engine version 9.2.3.884 as part of a Peoplesoft package.
I have created a new report using the PeopleSoft crystal ODBC driver delivered within the package.
One of the field retrieved contains the employee photo defined in Oracle DB as a BLOB field.
When I drag and drop the employee photo into the report, it crashes the application.
I've first checked if the photo was corrupted using JPEGsnoop.exe. The photo used is not corrupted.
After running a couple of tests I have found a workaround.
Take a print screen of the employee photo using snag it tool, copy it into MSPaint, save the photo with the same name, load the new version into oracle and drag the photo into my crystal report.
This new picture didn't crash the application.
In order to make sure that the issue was not due to the PeopleSoft ODBC driver, I ran the same test using the Oracle ODBC driver. It returned the same result.
I would like to understand why the original picture is causing my crystal report to crash.
Is there any existing fix related to this issue? Otherwise I would like to know how to report this issue to crystal report developers?
If you want some more detailed information (the employee photo I'm using) please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Best Regards.

Hi Sean,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
That's right it could be related to memory usage. I have already got this issue before, but the message is different. When I'm running my crashing test, I'm dealing with one photo only (6 Ko JPG format).
When I take a print screen of the photo causing my crystal report to crash, save it as the same format JPG using MS Paint, load it into oracle blob table and re-run the report using the new photo it works perfectly fine.
Prior to this I made sure that the photo was not corrupted using JPEGsnoop.exe.
If you want to I can give you the two JPG samples I'm using and a detailed explanation of the manipulation I'm doing.
Thanks,
Best Regards.

Help required for our Crystal Reports billing reports

Hi there, excuse me if this is the wrong location to make this post, just registered today and in need of help. We employee an in house developer and use Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 3 and have a couple of issues using Crystal Reports effecting the bills we email out to our clients and hoping someone can advise or point us in the direction of a partner who is an expert in this area.
Issues are:
We use a background colour for each section of our customers bill. When a section rolls over on to another page i.e. multiple sections we cant get the background colour grow to the bottom of the page. For example the customer sees the background colour stop possibly 1/2 way down the page.
Intermittently about 30% of the time where the customer has more than 2 pages we get a blank page inserted with nothing but has our logo in the same position.
Displaying $ figures using the default currency format on to the bill shows negative figures with the $ in front of the - i.e. $-2.81 instead of -$2.81
We have an issue occasionally the last line on the bottom of a page changes the thickness of the line and also the position i.e. the line appears lighter & sometimes indented about 10mm.
We would love to apply a banner down the right hand side of our landscaped page however the bill is broken into sections which we understand we cant have a full length banner? Open to ideas.
Thank you for any direction on how to resolve these issues, we have been living with them for 3 years. As mentioned above happy to pay for any expert to help us through this or refer to a partner.
Thanks again
Dwayne

To add to Jamie's post. Updating to Service Pack 7 will not be a bad idea either. You will have to contact sales: 866-681-3435or Customer Interaction Center: SAP Service Marketplace Content Page to get the SP.
Other than that, one question per Discussion would be great. SCN Rules of Engagement.

How to deactivate one of our computers that has crashed so I can download on another

How to deactivate one of our computers that has crashed so I can download on another?

I'm also having the same problem, except my hard drive died. It worked for a little while on my other computer and then told me that I was running it on another computer and had to deactivate it, so I clicked the button to deactivate it. Now it's doing it again but wont let me deactivate it, saying I've reached my limit for deactivations or something like that and to try again later. It's only doing this with Muse, I'm using Photoshop too and haven't run into this problem. I'm in the middle of working on a site and really don't have time to waste with it being stupid like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,I'm having trouble with Crystal Report 9 and wondering if someone could give me a clue.When I try to connect to Oracle using "Refresh" button, Crystal Report 9 crashes everytime.And, the following error appears in the Application Event Log.Faulting application crw32.exe, version 9.2.3.1699, faulting module crqe.dll, version 9.2.1.1839, fault address 0x00009007.Environment:Crystal Report Version: Crystal Report 9 SP7OS: Windows 2003 Server SP1CPU: Intel Xeon CPUOther Major Applications: Oracle 9i, Citrix Presentation Server 4.0Other Facts:- This happens to every Crystal Report files on the machine.- The same Crystal Report files work fine on other machine with exactly the same environment ex) OS ver/CR ver/Installed app...- I could never connect ot Oracle successfully on this machine - it's not like it used to work before.Things that I have tried:- I have tried reinstallation of CR9 without uninstalling but it didn't work.- I have uninstalled CR9 and installed it again and then restarted the machine but it didn't work.- I originally tried without any SP installed and applied SP7 afterwards but the results were the same.- I tried turning on and off the DEP (Data Execution Protection) for CR9. But the results were the same.Can someone give me an advice what I should try from here, please?Let me know if you want more info.Many thanks,Seiji

Also, see this ARTICLE from the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, for things to look at with crashes and hangs. It covers the hardware, the OS and the software, and offers links for tuning up the system, and getting it ready for video editing. I know that there is a lot of material in there, but Neale has done a great job of putting things into a checklist, and offering links to other material.
That rec. is for use along with John T's links, which are a bit more specific to your burned DVD's.
Good luck,

Crystal Reports XI crashes says "Crystal Reports has stopped working"

I'm on Crystal Reports Xi release 2 sp2, with windows 7, I also have visual studio 2008 installed.
When I try to add any fields or objects to a report in crystal reports it crashes and throws up a windows generic error message that says "Crystal Reports has stopped working" There is no additional error information besides that... I've tried a number of fixes, too many to list here, but no go, and apparently calling for tech support requires me to pay more money! ack. We've already paid for the product, I just want to use it..
Does this version of crystal reports even work on windows 7? if I could get a straight answer on that it would be a start anyway...
Sorry to be snippy, I'm just frustrated!!!

Upgrading to SP6 solved the issue. I originally thought sp4 was the newest because of this page: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
which is out of date...
Thanks for the quick fix.

2 Spider diagrams, only one displayed in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I have two Spider diagrams in the report. One shows values for this and another for previous year. The second diagram is placed on top of the first. The diagram below has white background and the diagram above has transparent background.
Everything works as it should in the Crystal Reports Developer. But Crystal Reports Viewer shows the "transparent" diagram only, that is on the top.
Has anyone experienced such before? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yes, I can see them. In Crystal Reports Developer I see them in both ways. In the Viewer only side-by-side.

How to group by more than one fields in crystal reports

Hi
How to create groups in crystal reports by more than one fields, like
select fields,aggregate functions from table group by a,b,c

Not sure if I understand your question, but you you could create a formula to generate the string of data you want to group on. Then simply create a group based on the formula field.
For example, your formula could do something like (assuming all String fields):
{table1.FirstName} + {table1.LastName} + {table1.DateOfBirth}
, and then group on this formula.

Using more than one Query in Crystal Reports

Dear all,
we want to use two queries an combine them in one crystal report.
How does this work?

Sorry my mistake.
It IS possible to join results from 2 different BW queries.
What CR does not support is the join between BW data and relational data.
Still the best practice is to do the join in the database (eg. using an InfoSet)
How many rows do you expect to get from each query?

Crystal Reports 2008 crash when Select Page or Print Report

Hy,
I Have Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Vista. When I select page or I print reports, Crystal Reports crash. I tried to uninstall Crystal 8.5 and Crystal XI that I was on the same computer and manually removed all entry in Registry. After this I reinstalled Crystall 2008 but the problem was not resolved.
So I tracked the dll called by CRW32.EXE and I found that the problem was on a DLL of Microsoft Office OneNote. I uninstall the Microsoft Office OneNote printer that Office Installation Program created for OneNote and now all work fine. I hope that this can help other people that have the same problem.
Ciao Filippo

Thank You for the information Filippo,
This is actually a known issue with CR 2008 when a printer driver is missing at least one file. Our developers are aware of the issue and are planning to release a fix soon.

Crystal Reports 2008 crashes when previewing image with graphic location

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One. When I try to insert an image with a UNC graphic location (browse to a UNC drive for image) and I preview, Crystal Reports crashes with the following debug info:

Any idea why? If I trun graphic location off, it works fine.
The code I'm using to pull image is:
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Thanks.

Through Startu2014Run are you able to view the image by choosing the following path ?
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Also try to insert any image which is on your local hard drive and try. I think this is because, CR is unable to access the images which are on UNC.
Thanks,

Hi David,
I've seen this before, your Video driver is out dated and you need to update it. Typically the makers of the mother board or video card, which ever one you are using, will have updates for your specific OS. Appears you are using the default Window generic video driver which may not support what CR requires or you have an older usp10.dll. You will likely get a new one if you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Also, Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.883 is SP 1 and not SP 2., second number is the Service Pack, 12.x.x.x.
Download SP 4 and see if that may help:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Or incrementally:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
And you may need SP 3 or if you want to start off clean download the full build of SP 3 and then SP 4. Requires the keycode so make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.

Crystal Reports 2008 crashes in Visual Studios Basic 2008

I have Visual Studio 2008 Basic with Crystal Reports 2008 (Full) running on Windows 7 Pro - 64-Bit. I am running VS in visual basic runtime and I encounter this problem very frequently, however not all the time.
What appears to be happening is when I have any one of my 11 solutions open and I try to open a crystal report, Visual Studio says that it has encountered a problem and needs to restart. This happens whether I am running the program as and administrator or not. After VS restartes and I open my solution again, I attempt to open the same report and it opens without crashing.
This seems to be a direct problem with Windows 7 and crystal reports, because I never had this problem while developing these solution in Windows XP.
~Paul

Make sure you have applied Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
Make sure you have Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 applied (unless you are using datasets with date time fields, then apply SP1).
SP 1 is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe
SP2 is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
See if the updates help.

Crystal Report XI crashes on Vista

We recently installed Crystal Report XI on a Vista (32 bit).
The app opens fine and can view/run reports.
But, when we attempt to modify crystal report(s) the app will grey out and an OS message will appear: "Crystal Reports has stopped working".
This does not happen on our CRXI & XP installations, so I was wondering if CRXI is Vista compatible?
If so, was there any extra installations needed?
thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
Try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn
Its a known issue with vista operating system and this is workaround for it.
Hope that helps!!

Shweta
