Opening the "Field Explorer"

Dear All,
This may be a silly question, but still I am caught in this.
While the report file (.rpt) is open,  I use F5 to run the VB dot Net program.  That time, the Field Explorer opens up.  Other times, it is not visible.  I like to open the "Field Explorer" for making the changes in the Layout of the Report.
I searched all the menus, still I could not get the same open.  Is there any shortcut key for it?
Thanks in Advance,
Naren.

Hello Naren,
You didn't post which version of Visual Studios you are using. In VS2003 the Field Explorer can be enabled by going to View > Other Windows > Document Outline. I don't remember if this the same in newer versions but it's probably similar.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

  • Can I open the field in MIGO?

    Hi Guru,
    I have the requirement to open the field: EXBWR (External amount in local currency) in MIGO when we post GR from production order. I try to check in standard configuration but I did not see that filed for movement type 101.
    Optional requirement is open the field: hard currency ( We already activate material ledger). We would like to enter hard currency too if it can be done by standard system.
    Please kindly advice. Thank you very much.
    Regards,
    Saiyaman.

    Hi,
    I am sorry, but I am afraid I must confirm that the 'influencing fields'       
    functionality is not available for transaction MIGO.                                                                               
    Please, kindly refer to the attached note:                                                                               
    329334 - MIGO field selection: not all settings possible,                                                                               
    which, in its last paragraph states the following:                                                                               
    "The option for defining dependencies of the field selection is not          
       supported by Transaction MIGO."

  • Dear freinds how to open the fields in the PNP selection screen

    Dear Freinds,
             When you use the PNP selection screen , i dont find the Orgeh field in default selection screen .
    However , using the code at selection screen output i have closed certain feilds using the loop at screen,
    but when iam trying in similar way to show the field
    on the selection what is the code i have to use
    in the loop at screen...........especially for the field
    orgeh .
    i have tried the othere options like required.........this working when iam able to make the date fields mandatory, similary i want to try with the below
    code to get the field Orgeh on the selection as default feild when we execute the report.
    can any one  please modify me the code
      LOOP AT SCREEN.
        IF screen-group4 = '026'   .
          screen-active = 0.
          screen-invisible = 1.
           screen-input = 0.
        ENDIF.
        modify screen.
    endloop.
    what i have to use in the loop at screen for me to get the orgeh field on the selection screen.
    thanks & regards
    madhuri

    Hi Madhuri,
    Unless you dont declare the orgeh field in hr report category you cannot show it on the selection screen nor you can hide it.
    If you do not want to use hr report cateogry.
    What you can do is that declare a parameter or selection screen called p_orgeh type orgeh.
    Here you can do the hiding on conditions.
    Kindly note here that after get pernr you will have to put a check that
    check p0001-orgeh in p_orgeh.
    Because for the fields declared by you automatic filtering does not happen.

  • SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box)

    I have Crystal Reports Version XI.  When I open the field explorer I can't see "SQL Expression Fields (Field Explorer dialog box) "
    Please help.

    The following information helps you
    Symptom
    In Crystal Reports 9 and later, the 'SQL Expression Fields' is unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box. The report is reporting off a stored procedure or command object.
    Why are 'SQL Expression Fields' unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box?
    Resolution
    'SQL Expression Fields' are unavailable in the 'Field Explorer' dialog box because the report is based on a stored procedure or command object.
    When connecting to a Stored Procedure or using a command object the SQL Statement is predefined and cannot be modified by Crystal Reports therefore the SQL Expression field will not be available when connecting to either of these objects.
    The SQL Expression field works by adding an entry into the SELECT portion of the SQL Statement in a Crystal report. A SQL Expression Field is only available in a report when:
    u2022 The report connects to tables or views.
    u2022 Crystal Reports generates the SQL statement.

  • Field explorer does not open on my terminal services profile

    Dear Sirs,
    For some reason I am unable to open my field explorer in any crystal report on my terminal services profile. I have checked with other profiles and the problem does not exist. The problem is specific to my profile. I can also create new reports and access fields however if I use the filed explorer button I cannot access fields, parameters or formulas from there. Problem just started this morning. We have been using crystal reports X1 for last 12 months. Would it be a terminal server issue?
    I would appreciate whatever help you can give me.

    Hi Philip
    This can be an issue with the terminal server that you are using. Please refer to the Crystal Reports XI supported platforms guide if the server that you are using is supported or not.
    You can download the guide from the below link:

  • Field Explorer in Crystal Reports does not show the same names as Bex Query

    Hi
    I have crystal reports, I can retrieve data from BW Bex Query. But in the field explorer it does not show the names as in the Bex query designer.
    In the Bex query designer a field will have the following technical name 0Debitor and the description is Customer.
    It shows in crystal reports in the field explorer twice as D[0DEBITOR]D and D[0DEBITOR]D. It also does not seperate key figures and characteristics.
    I would like it to display the field explorer as shown in this blog.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    take a look here:
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    make sure you are using the MDX Driver and what happens is that you will see several fields per characteristic. example: one for the key, one for the description, several if modelled for the display attributes

  • No Data in Field Explorer

    Post Author: Ice_Berg
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hi... I'm currently using visual studio 2005 team edition and the built-in Crystal report.In my report, i use the Project data source (from ado.net, I created a view before in the database).In visual studio, when i open the view to see the the data in the table, i have 1 record.however, when i use that view (or even table) in the crystal report, when i try to browse the data from the field explorer, i see no data.please help me to fix this problem, is there anything wrong that i do? thank you in advance for your helpBest regards Danny

    Michael,
    We had a similar situation but from my reseach the output from the stored procs cannot be viewed in the report designer in Eclipse. So we had to design the reports using the Crystal Reports Devloper application (the stand-alone version, not the Eclipse editor). The reports were designed w/an ODBC datasource. In order to get that working we had to create a JNDI JDBC datasource connection w/the exact same name as the ODBC datasource and that works. For example, the ODBC datasource was named OP01DSDB01.WORLD so we just created a JNDI datasource w/that exact same name (no jdbc/OP01DSDB01.WORLD just OP01DSDB01.WORLD). I'm not sure if there is a workaround for any of this but this was the easiest way to get them working.
    I know this isn't the ideal situation, but that was the easiest way to get things working.

  • Descriptions in field explorer on CR 2008

    Hi,
    We're opening a query by using SAP toolbar on Crystal Reports 2008 and on the fields explorer we can't see fields description, so we're not able to work with them (they only have a long character string as a name, we don't have neither BW Descriptions nor BW Technical names).
    What is the problem?
    We tried to change product locale from spanish to english and viceversa but for some users this is working, but for some others it is not.
    And what is more, if we work with "Database Expert -> New connection -> SAP BW MDX Query or SAP BW Query" it never works (descriptions are never displayed).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I'm using MDX query driver with sap toolbar. Indeed I'm trying both.
    Our logon language is Spanish (ES), and product locale and preferred viewing locale are also set to spanish.
    So, are you suggesting that without using MDX query driver we can't see fields descriptions?
    When I'm using "SAP BW Query" I never get the descriptions either.
    Thanks,
    David.

  • Crystal Reports Field Explorer not showing

    Hi,
         I am using Visual Studio 2003 with the bundled version of Crystal Reports.  It has always worked fine until recently the Field Explorer tool bar does not show up anymore when I open a Crystal Report for development.  I have uninstalled the entire Visual Studio and reinstalled the Visual Studio but it still will not show the Crystal Reports Field Explorer.  However, if I install the Visual Studio on a completely different computer it works fine.  Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem on my main computer?  Could it be a setting somewhere in the Visual Studio?  I cannot find any information on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Razzle

    Ok, I figured out what the problem was.  It was something wrong in my Windows profile.  So I deleted my Windows profile and created a new one and it is working now.

  • SQL Expressions missing from field explorer

    Hi SAP,
    I am using Crystal XI and created a report several months ago.  I want to update the report by using an SQL expression to increase performance.  However, I do not see the SQL Expression available to me in the field explorer just on this particular report.  If I create a new document or open another report I see the SQL Expression feature available for me to use.  There have been no updates to my machine or any Crystal upgrades since I've designed the original report.
    Does anyone know why the SQL Expression feature is missing or how I can get it back.  The report is to complicated to re-create from scratch.
    Thank you in advance,
    Zack H

  • Report and Field Explorer dont work in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi
    I am using the following versions of Crystal Reports:
    Crystal Reports 2008  (Service Pack 1)
    CR Developer
    Version 12.1.0.892
    Product Type: Full
    Target environment: .NET 3.5 windows forms and asp.net application
    Since a couple of days, i can no longer access the field explorer nor the report exlorer. Anything else seems to be working fine. I first thought these windows were somewhere hidden behind another window but as much as i searched, i didnt succed in finding them :-(.  Our product has a valid licence and is registered, by the way.
    My question is now, what do i have to do to get my field/report explorer again. Maybe, installing the latest service pack had an influence, but i cannot tell for sure.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance

  • Unable to view Field Explorer

    In Crystal Reports 2008, I've been working with a client who is unable to view the Field Explorer window to edit her report.  When you select the View menu and Field Explorer, nothing happens.  We can verify the database and are connected to our table fine, but can't seem to access the Field Explorer for editing.  The only work-around is to use a wizard to create reports, but it's very time-consuming trying to make changes and edit that way.  Has anyone seen this before?  We don't have access to the setup files to try reinstalling, but we can track them down if that's the best starting point.  I just thought it was odd and wondered if there was an easy fix.  Thanks

    click on View | Toolbars and in the pop up window, check the box next to Reset all toolbars and explorers on next restart.
    Restart CR 2008 and see if the field explorer displays.
