How do I create a crystal report layout with a table and borders

My crystal report is a signin sheet. The sign in sheet has an ID column, Name column, Institution column, Place to signin column, and Weekday columns with checkboxes in each column for the visitor to checkoff.
How do I display the data that is being used int he crystal report in a table layout with borders around each cell? And is it possible to center vertical alignment of the data within eacvh cell like Excel?

Blahahaha! Great answer Deb!
Seriously though... There is no vertical alignment in CR. There have been several past threads related to this issue and all of them have various workarounds. None of them are very elegant.
The best workaround I've found (especially if you are grid or borders) is to turn off the boarders for the field itself and drawl a rectangle around the field(s). Now you can place the field in the lower portion of the rectangle and adjust the rectangles height to place the field text in the center of the rectangle.
This will give you more control over the height of your elements than using a carriage return before the text.

Crystal Report Layout With Prompts SAP BO v8.8

Forum members,
I can successfully import a Crystal Report with parameters as a REPORT type into SAP BO 8.8. But when I attempt to upload the same report as a LAYOUT type, I receive the error, "Missing Parameters" and the import process halts even when I set a value as the default value for the parameters. I have two questions:
1. Does SAP BO v8.8 support Crystal Report parameters in print layouts? If it does,
2. How do I resolve this error message and get this functionality to work?
Thanks!
Gregg

I ended up submitting this to SAP support as a bug. Found that we can successfully print using the preview button first and then printing from that interface but sending the report directly to the printer or pdf generates an error.

How do i signon into crystal report XI with server signon Account

I have a signon account to connect to SQL Server 2005, but i cannot use the same signon account to signon into crystal report XI. Is there any special permissions that i need to set? But if i use the sa account for sql sever am able to signon without any error. What could be the problem.

Thank you for your fast response, i really appreciate that.
Am able to signon into the server in SQL 2005 with my signon credentials but cannot signon into the same server when am using crystal report. And for the connectivity, we are using OLE DB and not ODBC. Also, we've been using the sa account for a while now, it just last week that management decided we signon into crystal with our own signon credentials, which isn't working.

Report layout with User default and gobal default

hi,
any authorization to control report layout, only some user ID can use "user default" layout, and part of user available to set the layout as default
thanks

Is is a custom-developed ALV report or an SAP-supplied one?
If if is custom-developed, you can register the following user-commands
&AVE - Save layout
&OL0 - Change layout
&OAD - Select layout
in parameter IT_EVENT_EXIT of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. When these user-commands are triggered, control passes to the user command routine in your callback program. In the callback routine, you can implement authorization/security checks.
Also look at parameters IS_VARIANT and I_SAVE to control use of variants.,
If it is an SAP-supplied program, try using the auth-object mentioned in my earlier post.

I suggest you post that question in a Crystal Reports forum.

How do I create this kind of layout with JPanels?

Hi! I am wondering how I would go about creating the following layout. Which layout manager should I use?
I have two JPanels in a JFrame. Jpanel1 should expand in size (width and height) and fill "the rest" of the JFrame when I resize the JFrame. Jpanel2 should always have the same ratio between the width and height no matter how I resize the JFrame. JPanel2 shouldn't be a fixed size though! See below sketch.
|                                                    |                                      |
|                                                    |                                      |
|                       Jpanel1                      |               Jpanel2                |
|                                                    |                                      |
|                                                    |                                      |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can use a BorderLayout.
Place panel1 in the center of the border layout, and panel2 in the east.
You should also override getPrefferedSize method of panel2 to return the preferred size based on the calculation of the ratio between the width and height.

How do I create a drop down menu with Code Snippets and Flash CS5?

Hi
I am wondering how to create a drop down menu using the Code Snippets and CS5?
There are some older tutorials out there and it would be nice if someone could create an updated drop down menu tutorial, and it might be me doing this after I have figured out the best and easiest way to create one, but before that I need some pointers.
Thanks!
Have a great day!

You can use panel widget to create manual menu where set to show target on rollover.

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Hello Honza
You will have to use the InProc RAS SDK as this includes report creation APIs. A few resources to get you started:

Crystal Report linked to a table with filter attached

I have a Crystal Report based on 2 tables and I want it to display every incident in the incident table and to pull the truckID of the
first truck on the scene from the truck table . So the finished product should look like this…
IncidentID IncidentNum ResponseTime First Arriving Truck Disctict
1x44452 1258ab55 5:32 B8 2
*The first arriving truck is the truck in the Truck Table with the same IncidentID and the earliest ArrivalTime. There will be multiple trucks for each incident but I want it to only show the one that arrived first (ArrivalTime). So one line per incidentID.
Incident Table
IncidentID
IncidentNum
ResponseTime
District
Truck Table (Will contain many trucks for one incident with the following info
Truckkey
IncidentID (Link to Incident Table)
ArrivalTime
TruckID
I figure I probably need to build a formula with the min function or perhaps an OnCommand – I’m just not sure.
The biggest issue is the overall report has 4 filter settings. They can select a date range, a location, an incident type and a range for the response time. So I do this with the Select Expert
I can get all of that to work except I cannot figure out how to get it to pull the First Arriving Truck without duplicating the incident
line. Also, if there is a Truck with an ArrivalTime of Null I want it to ignore that Truck Table record.
Can anyone help???

Hi Debbie,,
You may try this:
1) Go to the Group Expert > Create a Group on the 'Incident ID' field from the Incident Table
2) Insert a summary on the 'Arrival Time' field and place the field on the Group Footer
3) Move all the fields from the Details section to the Group Footer
4) Go to the Group Selection Formula (Report > Selection Formulas > Group) and use this code:
{Truck.ArrivalTime} = Minimum({Truck.ArrivalTime}, {Incident ID})
5) Suppress the Details Section

Creation of Library and Report in Report Painter with Z tables.

When I am creating library in report painter with Z table it is giving the following error message 'Table ZCO_SEMI_FIN_VAL is not installed in Report Writer'.
Can u help me how u install Z table in report painter and create the characteristic and key figure of the Z table in the library.

Hi Partha Pratim Bhar,
In order to bring / enable a Z table for you to build a library, you will have to set it at transaction GRCT.
Here you need to configure - table (Z table) , characteristics and Key figures.
You can refer any other tables by SAP in GRCT for reference.

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

I wanna ask about How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1 ?
I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.
Br,
Thomas Marsetyo

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

Hi,
When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

Hi Jenny,
We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
Hope this will answer your questions.
