How to globally modify number formatting in Crystal Reports
How do I globally modify the number formatting in Crystal Reports to NOT use the default which is “System Default Number Format”? The goal is to modify the number formatting to NOT contain commas. This modification should be global and should apply to any local account that will launch and use Crystal Reports on the server where it is installed. Can anyone help?
Hi Raghavendra,
For new reports, we have tried the setting you specified. The question is, how can we force Crystal Reports to “keep” and “retain” the adjusted format globally every time users create a new report?
Thank you!

How to increase the width of the Crystal Report
Hello All
How to increase the width of the Crystal report template in the CR designer in .NET 2005 editor ?
I need to design a report which has to accomodate more number of columns.So achieve that i need to redesign the report having more width.
CrystalReports version 10.2.3600.0
Thanks in advance
SrivatsaHI Srivatsa,
You can make a wider report by creating virtual pages. Virtual pages are the extra pages to the right of the main page that get created to accommodate cross-tabs that are wider than a single page. By inserting a cross-tab in a report then suppressing it, you can create a report that is multiple pages wide.
Insert and Suppress a Cross-Tab
1. On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Cross-Tab'.
2. In the Cross-Tab Expert, click any field and move it into the 'Columns' box, and click any field and move it into the 'Summarized Fields' box. Do not move any fields into the 'Rows' box.
3. Click the 'Customize Style' tab and select the following check boxes:
" Suppress Empty Rows
" Suppress Empty Columns
" Suppress Row Grand Totals
" Suppress Column Grand Totals
4. Click the 'OK' button and then insert the cross-tab into the Report Header section.
5. On the 'Report' menu, click 'Format Sections'. Click 'Report Header' and select the 'Underlay Following Sections' check box.
When you run the report you will not see the cross-tab, but you will be able to scroll to the right and see multiple virtual pages.
====================
NOTES:
" As there are no rows to the Cross-Tab, it does not carry on to Page 2 and the virtual pages do not appear past the first page.
" To increase or decrease the number of virtual pages do one of the following:
- Limit the number of records for the field in the 'Column' box of the 'Cross-Tab Expert' using the 'Select Expert'.
- Change the width of the 'Column' field in the Cross-Tab by moving the edges of the field.
====================
How to Insert Fields on Virtual Pages
You cannot drag-and-drop a field onto a virtual page, you can only do so on the main page. To get a field to appear on a virtual page:
1. Insert the field on the main page.
2. Click the 'Preview' tab.
3. Drag the right edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
4. Drag the left edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
Hope this helps!!

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls
We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

"Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008
Posted: Sep 27, 2008 12:36 AM E-mail this message Reply
I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
.NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
Server Operating System
Version of the .NET Framework
How did you deploy?
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
Any additional comments
What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll 3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0 122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1
Hi,
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 MarsetyoHi,
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 suppress a blank section in crystal report
how to suppress a blank section in crystal report. although i have set the property
"suppress blank section "=true ,still i m unable to suppress my section
please help me to cope up this issue.
thanks in advanceOne recommendation I make, when troubleshooting suppression issues, is to put a visible border of the section, area or object to be suppressed, and borders for all objects contained in the section or area. This will help isolate what's suppressed, and whether the section is truly blank or has content that's blank.
Furthermore, I recommend indicating which SDK and what version you're using when posting.
Sincerely,

How to use drill down option in Crystal Report
Dear all,
I want to know how to use drill down option in Crystal report 2008. In below i have explained my screnario
For example
My scenario is. In crystal report I have Purchase order like PO101,PO102. Each purchase order have 5 line items. If i drill down each purchase order it should display line item in crystal report.
Regards,
Baskaran.hi,
Create a Group on 'Purchase order'.
Group Expert -> Select the Purchase Order and Click the arrow button such that it appears right side. Click ok.
GH1 is inserted.
Your detail section should include 'Line items' fields.
Right Click 'Detail' section on left hand side, Click 'Hide (Drill down Ok)'.
Now you will see only 'Purchase order's in Group Headers.
Now when you click on a particular order, you will see respective line items.

How to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports
Hi,
Initially, I am looking for an article about how to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports in table-based approach----including how to write to DB table from report:
http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011950.asp
However, the link above is invalid. I also searched through SDN articles, but no luck.
Can someone please forward me the link if you happend to know?---does not have to link to this specific article, any working solution is just fine.
I am aware of another approach which put the TOC to the end of the report(http://www.ml-consult.co.uk/cryst-05.htm), which probably does not satisfy the requirement.
If you have other solutions, your share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton![Is it possible to create a table of contents in Crystal Reports?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313335333133303330%7D.do]

How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?
How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?
Our Crystal reports are viewed via Crystal Enterprise and are both BW and non-BW Crystal reports.
I have looked at the three supplied iViews from Business Objects (alert, folder and thumbnail) but I have only been able to access the last instance or run on demand a CR.
Our users would prefer to see a listing of the past runs of the report and choose which report to view. What parameters need set in the EP6 iView to see the history of a report?Hi Heather,
it is correct that there is no sample iView that shows the History of Crystal Reports that are stored in Crystal Enterprise but there a sample codes on our web site and there are sample codes as part of the SDK documentation that show how to call the history and you should be able to take the code and create your own Java or ASP iView based on that.

It seems that you should be able to define a custom number format and have it stored so that you can use it again. But whenever I do this it only applies to that document.
Is there a way to have custom formats stored in the Cell Format list?I don't know how to make it "global" but you can open the blank template, make your custom format, then save the document as a template and it will be in any new document you create with that new template.
