Newbie Question - Creating a table layout in a report

Post Author: TomBrowning
CA Forum: General
(Crystal Reports Version XI 11.0.0.2495 )
Hi,
I have created a table/grid in the report details section by using the "Outside Borders" tool to surround the report fields then moved them around in order to join them to each other in a row.  This appears to show the data as if in a table/grid when viewed in preview; this is also fine when I print the report out.  However if I export to a PDF using the "Export Report" tool; the table is displayed with white space between the rows, breaking the table up.
I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a table that would get around this problem and I just can't see it for looking?
Thanks for your help
Tom

Hey Tom,
    Try rt clicking on "Details"/"Section Expert" and click on "Format Multiple Columns". 
Keep the boxes you made around the fields as they'll be duplicated too.  Play around with
it and look at the help files.
Hope this helps,

  • Error while creating a new layout in a report.

    I am getting this error message:
    Failed to save data.
    Error occurred when creating xml data.
    when I try to save after I create a new layout in my report.
    Is there some common problem with templates that could cause this to happen?
    I'll continue to look around for an answer but if anyone would like to see the template and a sample set of XML data so they can help me figure out what the problem is, that would be swell.
    -Nevermind. The problem seems to have dissapeared. Apparently the appropriate order of operations is
    1: Create new layout.
    2: Upload RTF Template
    Please feel free to delete this post -.-

    i am also getting the same error here and i have followed what you laid out, i am still getting the same error.
    Thanks

    Does one custom table more or less really matter?  If you really want delete it, delete the table in DEV which will put it into a new transport and get that transport moved to TEST.

  • SSMA (Access - SQL 2012) newbie question about new tables

    I have successfully run SSMA and moved the back end tables of an Access project to SQL Express 2012.
    Some questions:
    - if I add a new table to the SQL backend, how do I get it to appear in the Access project?
    - if I want to move the whole thing to another computer, how do I go about it?
    - do I always have to have the SSMA app installed?
    - I can't see an ODBC datasource on the machine
    Thanks for some help
    CarolChi

    Thanks, I was not clear in my questions:
    1. Given that from now on the tables should all be in SQL, I think it would be better to create new tables in SQL them there rather than create them in Access and have to keep moving them to SQL with SSMA. So if I create a new table in SQL how can I
    see it in Access? Or can I easily create a linked table in Access?
    The table created by SSMA have this property:
    If I create a new table in SQL and link it I get a more classic ODBC connection:
    2. I am happy with SQL backup/restore, attach/detach. But how does Access know where the SQL Database has gone?
    3. I thought the migration was a one time task, but from what you say it is an ongoing "linking" app. So I would be better to export my tables and re-link them to get something that can be moved to another network or computer?
    4. The SSMA looks very much like an ODBC connection.
    This is a new project so I will have to make lots of new tables and also move the whole thing around to different computers, on different networks.

  • [Newbie question]: create polygons from linestrings...

    I need a good place to start using Oracle Spatial and Topology functionalities, so... my goal is this: I'm creating a table with SDO_GEOMETRY as linestrings; some of these linestrings are closed, and i need to build a topology and then extracts the polygon geometries build and create a new table with this polygons.
    Here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14256_01/sdo_topo_concepts.htm#i885918) i've read how to create a topology from spatial data, ut i'm unable to find how extract SDO_GEOMETRY elements like polygons from the topology itself...
    Any suggestion? Thanks in advance :)
    Message was edited by:
    user587028

    Great question! One of the member functions for the SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY type is GET_GEOMETRY() which simply outputs a Topo geometry as an SDO_GEOMETRY. Hence, if you wanted to output SDO_GEOMETRY from a parcels feature you could do the following:
    select a.feature.get_geometry() from parcels_poly a;
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Sameer , your understanding is correct.
    However, even if I save the layout as a default one ( Default checkbox set) , it will be applicable only for my id.. I am looking to create a layout, which everyone will be able to access the layout as well..

  • Newbie Question: Creating Data Sources

    Our current Hyperion setup consists of the Hyperion 9.3 client that users access via a terminal server. We are trying to get the web version of Hyperion running.
    I installed some base components of the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System (11.1.1.2.0.940). It all starts fine and I can login with admin, but I do not see how to create data sources or load .bqy query files. If I create a new interactive reporting document, it makes me choose a Data Source from the virtual directory in which I do not have one. if I try to import one, or import a .bqy file, I browse to the file, select it, then always get a "File path is wrong." error. I also found how to create Data Sources using the CMC, but I do not see how to reference these. What am I doing wrong?.

    HI,
    What version of Hyperion planning are you using version 9.3 or epm11.1?
    Because they have different ways of creating datasources.
    In version 9.3 you can create datsource in the configuration utility.
    While in version 11 you need to create planning application first before creating datasource either by classince planning application or epm.
    Thanks,

  • Newbie Question - Creating DVD from Premiere to Encore with 2 audio tracks

    Hello and thanks for your time,
    I'm pretty new to all this but seem to be getting the hang of things pretty well but one problem I'm having I can't seem to find an answer to.
    In Premiere I am creating a dvd of a football game, i have the video with an audio track of the crowd and another audio track of the commentary.  These are all edited together fine and work well.  I then use the dynamic link to send the sequence to Encore and that's where the problem occurs.
    I can't seem to get both audio tracks to appear in Encore?  Any suggetions or tips on where I might find an answer?
    cheers for the help and time
    Ian

    Ian,
    This is not a cure to the issue, but is a workaround. It's the "old-fashioned" way that things were done before DL.
    Export your Sequence as elemental streams, i.e. video-only and audio-only. Import your video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and teh audio-only file as an Asset. From Project Panel, drag the audio to the appropriate timeline. Done.
    Now, exactly what you choose for your Export and even how you do this will depend on your Project in PrPro and also your source Assets. For SD material, I'd choose DV-AVI Type II video-only (no multiplexing), and for the Audio 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV. If you have a version of PrPro prior to CS4, just Export Movie (settings above) for the Video and Export>Movie (or AME) for the Audio (settings above). Just make sure that the Export Video is checked for the DV-AVI, but the Export Audio is not. Change these two checkboxes for the Audio.
    Now, for DL not working, as it should, what is the format of your source Audio? Do you have any Channel-mapping used? Does your Audio Mixer Panel show everything right there? Do you have one Audio Track either Muted, or Bypassed. Look in Audio Mixer, to make sure you do not have one Track Solo'ed.
    Also, what version are you using, CS3, or CS4? Note: for CS4, you will use AME for the Exporting in the first part of the post.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Buy License for single edition....newbie question

    Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

    it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
    you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial
    number)

  • Creating a table/view or temporary table from within a stored procedure

    Hi Gurus,
    Can someone tell me if it is possible to create a table (or view) from within a stored procedure.
    PROBLEM:
    In fact I need to create a report at back end (without using oracle developer forms or reports). This report requires creating several tables to hold temporary report data. If I create a sql*plus script for this, i works fine, because it can run DDL and other sql or pl/sql statements sequencialy. But this sql*plus script cannot be called from application. So, application needs an stored procedure to do this task and then application call that procedure. But within stored procedure, i am unable to create table (or run any ddl statement). Can somebody help me in this?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Denis,
    The problem with Nicholas' suggestion isrelated to the fact that now you have two components
    (a table and a stored procedure)
    I don't see any problem to have "two
    components" here. After all, what about all others
    tabes ? This is only one more, but I don't understand
    why want manage less objects, that implies more code,
    more maintenance, and more difficulties to debug.
    Needless to say about performance...
    Nicolas.The same reasons apply if you were forced to declare all PL/SQL variables publicly (outside the stored proc.) rather than privately (from inside the stored proc). Naming conflicts for one. If the name that you want to use for the GTT already exists, you need to find a new name. With the SQL Server type local/private declarations, you wouldn't have that problem.
    I can see how performance would be the same or better using GTTs. If the number of records involved is low, this is likely negligable.

  • Newbie Q: Creating an Elastic Table

    I'm trying to build a simple portfolio website but am having
    problems with creating a table because I don't know the final width
    of the site. I'm looking to create a table 496px high that has an
    640px image, 60px space, 340px image, 60px space, 559px image, 60px
    space, etc....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    > setting table width to "auto"
    A width of auto is functionally equivalent to no width at
    all. Either will
    do the same thing.
    > which is what happens as soon as you specify any px
    heights
    Not so. You can specify heights without affecting widths. And
    you wouldn't
    want to use heights for tables, anyhow, since that is invalid
    HTML.
    > Then you get into IE padding and margin hack territory.
    Not really - if you are coding to standards, there is no need
    to hack for
    box model variations.

  • Question about creating new tables using SQL script in WebLogic Server

    Hi,
    I am new to WebLogic and I am following a book Java EE Development with Eclipse published by PACKT Publishing to learn
    Java EE.  I have installed Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse on the PC and I am able to log into the WebLogic Server Administration Console
    and set up a Data Source.  However the next step is to create tables for the database.  The book says that the tables can be created using
    SQL script run from the SQL command line.
    I cannot see any way of inputting SQL script into the WebLogic Server Admistration Console.  Aslo there is no SQL Command line in DOS.
    Thanks  for your help.
    Brian.

    Sounds like you are to run the scripts provided by a tutorial to create the tables, right?  In that case, you may need to install an Oracle client to connect to your database.  The client is automatically installed with the database, so if you have access to the server that hosts the database, you should be able to run SQLplus from there.
    As far as I know, there is no way to run a script from the Admin Console.  I could be wrong, however.
