OLE object not linking... is CR10.5 on VS2008

Running Crystal Reports 10.5 which comes with VS2008
i have inserted an OLE object and told the Insert object to Create From File - i then browse to the location of the BMP file and click on link
I do NOT have Display as Icon checked
the image does not show up - has the name of the image (Command Line)
i've saved the report, closed the report and reopened it - there is NO updating links message
and when i run the report, the image isn't displayed
How do i get it to display the image and not the icon...
this really shouldn't be this hard.

Hello,
Try adding the following line in <httpHandlers> section of web.config
<add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version= 10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
Thanks,

FRM-41344 - OLE object not defined for CONTROL_OLE in the current record

Hi!
I am working in a multirecord block, and I need to obtain data from a Weighing System on each record. But this error appears in run time: FRM-41344 - OLE object not defined for CONTROL_OLE in the current record.
I use the same in other program, but in that case is a single record block.
Can somebody help me?

Ole object not visible on oracle report

Hi,
I have an oracle report built in oracle report 6i builder I have used a Boilerplate OLE Object(image.bmp) in the report but when I am executing the report on Oracle E Business(Application) then that OLE object is not visible on the report output(output is in the pdf format).
Please help me out with this
Thanks in advance

If you want to display an image on your report, use Link File as item type in the Layout Editor.
Note that the image has to be accessable from the Reports Server.

Dynamic OLE object not displaying proper file

We are using CR IX R2. I have a report that I would like to attach a pdf to. This pdf will be different depending on the selection of data from the rest of the report. The file location is always the same but again the name of the file will vary.
The location and name of the file are listed in one field of a table. Is there a way to do this. When I edit the OLE object and select the field where the file resides it only shows the original document that I choose.
At this point I am testing it in a blank report before I create the subreport to add it to our existing report.
Any suggestions?

What happens if you try this link:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e0fbebaf-07e0-2c10-ad9a-d45810ae7109&overridelayout=true
It should open the PDF Browser viewer. If it doesn't then you likely need to add PDF support to your browser. Or configure PDF or install the latest version. Could be a permission issue also.
Thank you

OLE Objects are not displayed properly-overlap characters and empty page

I'm using CR4E 12 Runtime libraries to load and view reports that are created in CR designer v10. Some of the OLE Objects (not all) are not displayed properly.
1) A full page contains terms and conditions as ole object is not at all displayed and just shown as black image.
2) Some data in a table (OLE Object) shown as overlapped characters.
Any body know the reason and is there any workaround to solve this issue?
Thankyou very much for your time.

Your problem seems to be with the character encoding you are using for your text. A quick google search for ColdFusion character encoding should turn up the answer. In case you are interested in learning more:

OLE Object - Unknown Type

We modified a customer's Crystal Report to contain an OLE Object (a linked PDF) and it was working fine and updating perfectly. Recently the customer was having problems using the report. Looking at the report, once it opens it tries to update the PDF but we get this error "Some links could not be updated because their sources are presently unavailable". With this message we get a links button and when we look at that the PDF is now an unknown type.
Also now when we try to create a new report and insert an OLE Object like before, first off PDF is not in the Object Type list. and secondly it inserts it from a file as an icon if/if not the check box is checked.
Does anyone know what could have changed for OLE PDFs not to work anymore for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated in this.

Hi Scotty,
Appears the DDE interpreter to handle PDF's has either been altered or AV software is blocking access now.
What happens if they simply double click on any PDF file?
Use ProcessMonitor to see what is happening, try running one of the reports and then look in the log for Access Denied errors.

OLE Object

dear all, please help.......
the application that was built has included MSFlxGrd.ocx (it's a flexgrid) into an Ole container.
Besides including this ocx as a deployment package, what other libraries or references does it depend on? Also, does it carries with it the properties set during development.
The probblem :
<testes with win2000 server with vb installed. No problem>
Deployed to win98 with no vb installed. The error message that was displayed is "Ole object not defined for ActiveX_Control in the current record".
The grid is not displayed.
During the installation, the ocx file has been manually registered with regsvr32.exe
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Matt, this is a problem with the OLE Control not finding it's licence key in the registry. It works on the machine with VB because the key is there. But if VB is not installed the key will not be found and the control will fail to instantiate.
This is fixed in 6.0.8.15.1 and above (patch 6 I think)

OLE objects linked to MS Word/MS Excel do not update in InfoView

I am facing the following problem:
- Embedded a Word document as linked OLE object into a crystal report and stored it to Enterprise repository.
- When opening the report with CR Developer from my workstation, links are updated and changes made in the .doc file are reflected, the report is updated
- However when displaying and refreshing the report in InfoView changes aren't reflected.
The OLE link (type document) is set to update automatically. I tried to store the report to the enterprise repository with and without data. Yet no difference - no update in either case. Neither scheduling nor opening and refreshing the report in InfoView helps.
I further inserted an OLE object linked to a bmp image, and for the image refreshing works, even in InfoView
So am I doing something wrong?
Some threads in this forum indicate that only OLE linked pictures (bmp, jpg) can be refreshed dynamically, e.g.
[Dynamically change path to OLE file]
Others indicate that it is also possible to dynamically refresh OLE objects linked to .doc, e.g.
[Re: Link to Word document doesn't refresh when running from Infoview]
- Is it at all possible to dynamically display the contents of .doc or .xls files in a CR when viewing and refreshing the report in InfoView (without the need to reopen and resave the report with CR Developer first) ?
- We are using BOE XI3.1 SP3 and Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On the BOE server Crystal Reports Developer is not installed. Can this be a prerequisite for the OLE links to update in InfoView?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Konrad

Hi Don,
Thank you for the quick reply.
- You say that this works in CR Designer. That's right. As described above, even I can open the report with CR Designer and the links are getting updated.
- However if I do not reopen and resave the report with Designer ... if I just open and refresh the report in InfoView to get the updated information from the files ... changes are not shown. I face this problem ONLY with ole links to .doc and .exe. OLE links to image formats such as .bmp do work. WHY?
My files are already stored locally to the BO server and the (changed) image files are read and updated from exactly this directory. But not the linked Excel and Word files...
Thanks
Konrad

Opening Linked Excel OLE Objects in Forms 6i

Hi,
I have a linked Excel OLE object which is populating properly into an OLE container. However, I cannot open the file to save a local copy, as I would a non-linked Excel OLE object. If I right-click on the linked OLE object choose copy, I can paste the data into a spreadsheet, but it appears as an image, rather than as regular tabulated data. Is there anyway to open the file normally?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shay,
Thanks for the reply but i was unable to register to metalink. they need some support agreement code which i do not have. Can you please give me some more information on how to use that.

'Hiding' linked OLE objects

Post Author: david76r
CA Forum: General
Hi There,
I'm using Crystal 9 to create PeopleSoft checks. For security purposes, we would like the signature images to appear only when the report has access to the linked image, which is on a floppy disk. i.e, no disk, no signatures.
I have inserted the images as linked OLE objects, however, the images are showing up even though the disk/source is not present. Could someone advise as to how to make this images show only when the source is available?
thanks

Older versions of Crystal reports would only update the OLE images when the report was opened. Later versions allow you to use a database field with a path to link the objects through.

Linked OLE Object on a Web Server

I searched for the answer to this, and haven't found it. If it's already been answered, and I missed it, I apologize.
I have a report (several actually) that has a link to a MS Word document. It was added to the report as an OLE object, type "Document", update "Automatic". The location of the document is C:\Program Files\Common Files\AppName\BlahBlah.DOC.
The report is installed in two places. In one place, C:\Program Files\AppName\ , I have a winforms app that opens and displays it. The report links dynamically and works like a champ. Changes to the document appear in the report.
The report is also installed to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppName\Reports. There's a web app running there that prints the report. It looks good, except it only shows the snapshot of the original document as it was when the report was created. Changes to the .DOC are not appearing.
I'm sure the problem is that the path to the document is in the C:\Program Files\ ... directory which isn't in the web path of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppName. Normally, a web server can only see the files in it's own directory tree, as that is it's root directory.
When the document is originally added to the report, it won't let me set the link as "./Reports/BlahBlah.DOC". That would solve the problem. But it stores the full path, which isn't available to the web app.
I'm sure theres something simple that I must do to make this work, but I haven't found a solution yet (perhaps because the answer is too simple). Thanks in advance.
Glenn

Hi Glenn
Please provide following information:
1.Version of crystal reports(HELP>>About Crystal reports)
2.Is crystal reports embedded in any other application
3.What is your runtime environment(.NET,Java)
4.Are you programatically modifying report(s).
FYI -
1.In crystal reports stand-alone application(XI Release 1,XI Release 2,CR 2008),user is able to insert a .doc and when the 'Link' checkbox is checked (while inserting the doc into the report),the changes are automatically reflected.
2.As a test,you can create a new report (in any of the versions mentioned above)on Xtreme sample database(using odbc connection and the "Xtreme sample database 11.5" dsn),and insert an OLE object in the report.
Thanks

Linked object not avilable

Hi,
I am facing strange issue. we have one iview and it assigned to one. this link(role-->i view) is working fine from longtime.
but last week onwards for some users(they have access) this iview disappearing some time and appearing some time.
when i verify in the content admin i was able to see the link ,(in the role also). then i cleared cache ,and then when i verify in the content admin i was not able to see the link . and in the role i am seeing as ' linked object not available" .
please let me know why this happend is there any note available to resolve this.
Thanks
Surya

Hi,
I assume you have enabled the Connector for Caching Roles.
Please Check the Property of the iView under the Property Category : Navigation >> "Metadata for the Navigation Hierarchy".
Ensure that the Property is set to "Cacheable".
Also Synchronize Cache for the Connector under System Administration >> Navigation >> Navigation Cache.
Kind Regards,
Mrityunjay.

OLE Object is not displaying in Web Page

Hello Everybody,
I have developed 20 reports in crystal 2008 and all working fine when i ran from crystal designer. I have my compaly logo in top of each report and same is also displaying When my .net deveoper is trying to deploy these reports,the compaly logo is not displaying. Just x mark is coming in place of logo.
I have copied OLE object from one of our old reports and pasted into all reports. Can anybody please advice me to solve this issure.
Thanks
Ram

Moved to .NET forum - search this forum on "Deploying" and also Kbase and you'll find your answer. Typically the CrystalReportsViewer12 folder needs to be shared and permissions set.
