How to change unlinked subreport with a newer version without having to delete and recreate in the main report?

I am using crystal reports version 11 and have inherited a report with 5 sub reports. Here we version the each report that contains changes. Is there a way that I can change the pointer for the sub report to the latest version? The person who gave me these reports stated that he deleted the old sub report and inserted the new sub report. The issue with doing this is you lose all you positioning and have to perform these tasks again. This seems like a lot of work especially if the upgrade to the sub report was only cosmetic. If I could update the link with the new report name it would make things easier.
Appreciate any assistance and thank you

I had a similar situation where i had 4 different main reports that has 20 sub reports each.
Best steps i figured out to keep track is:
1- I do not create a sub report on the fly. (origanlly- sub reports were built by "create a sub report with the report wizard"
so First i save all the sub-reports independently, and gave them corresponding name to their data fetch.
On inserting report as a sub report i used the option "Choose an Existing Report"
2- Since i had 4 different report, i created 4 seprate folders for each report. And then Sub folders for Sub reports.
3- Any changes in the sub report would have a different copy, and saved with the date stamp. In summary info, Comments section, I will type the update detail.
For Formatting changes alone:
I create a fake group inside the report and drop a Text box. The box would have comments about the formatting and suppressed  (only to seen at design mode).
Hope this helps.

  • HT4016 How to extract audio from a movie that is already in my project without having to delete and re-import the movie?

    The article is
    "How to extract audio from a movie file"
    But it only tells you how to extract when you first drag the movie file into the project.  This much is obvious when a dialog presents you with a checkbox asking if you want to "Extract the audio track" ... Duh
    Here was my workflow:
    Dragged the movie file into my project
    I checked "Extract the audio track"
    I shifted the "Movie Start Time"
    Extracted audio track did not shift with the movie
    I deleted the extracted audio and played the audio directly from the movie
    Now, I need the audio extracted again at the current movie position
    I knew where this option was in the Logic 9 menus, but I'm having trouble finding it in Logic X
    Is this option still available, or has it been removed?

    Solved:
    I found the menu option for extracting or re-extracting the movie audio.  BTW, the original article:
    Logic Pro 9.1: How to extract audio from a movie file in 64-bit mode
    should really also state the menu command for extracting the audio, not just the procedure when first adding the movie to the project.
    Here's the menu command:
    File>Movie>Import Audio from Movie
    Cheers

  • HT201253 How do I sync iPhone with a new computer without losing data?

    I've got a new laptop and have transferred my iTunes library from my old desktop to my new computer.  I want to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes library, but I get the scary message that my phone is synced to my old computer, and all my data will be erased and replaced from the new library.  What exactly will be erased?  Is it just the music and other media files, or will I have to reinstall all my apps and other data as well?  As a precaution, I've backed up my phone to iCloud.  I'd hate to have to completely restore my phone, but if necessary I will.  The instructions for this on the Apple Support site are not clear.  Thanks in advance for any help/reassurance!
    iPhone 4, running iOS 7.1.2
    Computer is an Acer running Windows 8.1
    Thanks!

    You won't lose any of your iPhone settings when syncing your iPhone with a new computer. When doing so, iTunes on the new computer will create a backup of your iPhone where your iPhone settings are stored.
    In addition to an iTunes backup, did you also create a backup of photos that were stored on your old Mac along with contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks?
    Before syncing your iPhone, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new. Then authorize your new Mac with iTunes with your iTunes account. Did you de-authorize your old Mac with iTunes? You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
    Also before syncing, enter one contact in the Address Book, and one calendar events in iCal on your new Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later after the first sync. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select - especially if you don't have a backup of contact information and calendar events from your old Mac.
    If you use iPhoto for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone, you need to transfer your iPhoto library from your old Mac to your new or any photos that were transferred from your old Mac to your iPhone will be lost when transferring photos to your iPhone from your new Mac.

  • HT4527 i have an ipad iphone and ipod all synced with my old windows 7 pc how do i sync them with my new imac without lossing my data

    Help I dont understand the instruction. I transfered by date using the migration assistant which didn't work that well as it locked all the file. I managedto sort this out but it did nt transfer this automatically to itunes. what do I need to do now ?

    It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
    I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
    If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

  • How to use Apple TV with Logitech Harmony remote WITHOUT having to unpair?

    I have a Logitech Harmony 880 remote which I am trying to set up with my new Apple TV.
    Within the Logitech software I set up Apple TV as a MediaCenter PC device.
    I've followed these instructions already.
    http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8480
    The Harmony remote works great with the Apple TV if I follow these instructions to unpair the remote EVERY time I want to use it. Once I turn the TV off or switch to another activity, it loses this setting and I have to unpair again when I go back to Apple TV.
    I would like to be able to use my Harmony Remote without having to unpair constantly.
    I have tried to pair the Apple TV with the Harmony remote. This only served to render my Apple Remote nonfunctional and I still have to unpair every time.
    I tried to use the Harmony remote's IR learning mode directly with my Apple Remote instead of using the settings from the database. I still have to unpair every time.
    I tried to go into the Apple TV > Settings > General > Remote and have Apple TV learn my remote's IR. There are instructions to hold down each button until a progress bar is full. The first button is the up arrow. The progress bar never activates when I push the up arrow on my Logitech Harmony remote although I know the Apple TV is somewhat recognizing the button press because I hear an auditory beep and see the led light on the front of the Apple TV flash when I push the button. None of the arrow buttons of the Harmony remote would activate the on screen progress bar although some buttons such as the Volume buttons would.
    At this point, I resigned myself to having to unpair every time I accessed my Apple TV so I thought I would get smart and program the unpair button to show up as one of the additional buttons on the lcd screen of the Harmony Remote when I start the Apple TV activity. I'm sure by now you can see where this is going. My attempts to outsmart my advanced technological devices failed dismally as it seems the unpair option of the Harmony remote will only function correctly if I first press the Devices button and then choose the Apple TV.
    I was wondering if anyone had gotten a Logitech Harmony remote to work successfully with the new Apple TV without having to use the unpair command every time and if so, what did you do to resolve this issue?

    I'm having the same issue except that I set up the Apple TV as a Media PC on my Harmony 770 and that gave me the unpair addition button that actually works. Per your idea, I've been using that to gain functionality of my Apple TV 3 from the Harmony remote.
    However that's just a workaround. I've gone a step further and learned the raw commands and it still won't work. This makes me think the issue is on the Apple TV refusing to recognize the remote unless you press "unpair" everytime.
    Is anyone else having this issue on the current Apple TV 3 firmware?

  • How do I update iMovie from 08 to 11 without having to pay for 11 at the app store?

    I have a pretty old Mac laptop, probably 1st or 2nd generation and I had to bring it to an Apple store for them to upgrade my operating system. Now my Mac version is 10.6.8 and I'm still using old programs on it like iPhoto 08 and iMovie 08. When I open up up iMovie, a message always comes up about iLife 11 which I would like to download as a whole so I can use the updated programs but I can not find the webpage where I can easily download iLife. All I really want is to upgrade iMoive from 08 to 11 but the only option I'm getting is to buy the app for about $15 from the app store. I already have iMovie and I shouldn't have to pay for the same app which just an updated version. Can someone show me step by step where to go and how to get the update for iMovie 11 or iLife 11 alltogether?

    You have to pay because iLife is only free when you buy a new Mac.  Its not part of the operating system.
    $15 is a bargain for what you get.

  • How do I prevent CS4 from crashing opon opening without having to delete Flexnet Publisher.

    When I open CS4, it crashes with out an error message box coming up.  The second attempt, it crashes with the message box saying, Error 150:30, Licensing for this product has stopped working.  I then have to go to the hard drive > library > application support > Flexnet publisher and delete it.  I then can open up CS4 and it stays open.  I have had to do this procedure for many months. I am using Mac OS.6.8.  Is there a way of preventing CS4 from crashing without having to go through this procedure?

    If it crashes, you would get a crash report dialog.
    It sounds like you either have a bad install, or a bad license.

  • How do I move iTunes to a new Mac without loosing my ratings and plays?

    I don't have a new Mac yet, but before I buy one I'd like to know how to transfer my iTunes library.
    I am really depending on my ratings and plays so I don't want to loose them.
    So how should I do it? backup? home sharing?
    And another question: I have my iTunes library on my external hd. Could I install the whole iTunes on the external hd and then use itunes on any Mac with the hd plugged in?

    paulkreuzer wrote:
    so just to get it right: you mean copy the iTunes folder to new Mac INSTEAD of installing iTunes there?
    iTunes will be installed on your new Mac. there will be an iTunes folder existing there but it will be devoid of content (just the default files).
    by replacing this default iTunes folder with the one from your old Mac, you are copying the +*heart & soul+* of your library to the new machine: the all important *iTunes library file*.
    the iTunes library file contains info such as playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc.

  • How do I change the name of my hard drive which the photos and libraries are located on without having to relink and recreate folders for photos?

    When I have tried to change the name of my hard drive which my photos and catalog are stored on, when I try and access the new catalog in the new destination yet still same physical hard drive it unlinks all the photos and the folder structure.
    Any way to keep the photos or at least the year folders so as to more easily relink?

    In the Library module, in the Folders tab on the left, do a right-click "show parent" until you can see the root of the drive.
    From there, if you cannot rename the drive from there, then rename it in the OS finder/explorer. Then you just need to reconnect that one root directory or drive entry and Lightroom will do all the work for you.

  • 3.1.2 app code messed up.  Need to reinstall program  How do I do this with an upgrade version without losing my current license

    When I attempt to import a photo, what gets imported is miscellaneouw trash.  I have deleted my database thinking that it might have too much in it, but that did not solve the problem.  I could, as I have done before, delete 3.1.2, reinstall 2, then upgrade to 3 again and then update to 3.1.2.  Is there a more straightforward way?

    Install version 2 and the apply the updates to that. Then Press and hold the Option and Command keys as you start Aperture and select Repair Database. Then install version 3 and update it. Then convert your library to v 3.
    This makes sure that he v2 Library is in good order before you start upgrading it.
