Printing in Windows 7 using Crystal Reports XI

Is there a compatibility issue with Crystal Reports and Windows 7? Everytime i attempt to print a report the program crashes. I can export the report to pdf and print it but cant print directly to a printer. Any info? Thanks

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!

Deploy Visual Basic 6.0 RDC application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista

Post Author: albe
CA Forum: General
When attempting to deploy a Visual Basic 6.0 Report Designer Component (RDC) application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista systems, the application fails after the first print or preview (that show normally) and an error occurred: -2147417848 Method '' of object '' failed.
The app use the RDC and Active Data; I verify that the problem is encountered when the app calls the 'SetDataSource' method.
I tried everything that came in my mind: reinstalling it a few times, with administrator priviledges, disabling uac, manually registering dlls, ...
I hope that this will be fixed, since Crystal Report 9 is the last CR version compatible with windows 98.
thanks in advance,
Alberto

Printing Extremely Slow Using Crystal Reports 2008 ActiveX Print Control

Problem:
We are trying to upgrade our existing Crystal Reports 10.0 ActiveX Viewer ASP based reports to the new Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer but are having print performance issues that have prohibited us from moving forward.
Environment:
Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition 32-bit with SP1
IIS 6.0 running ASP .NET version 2.0.50727
Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 with FP1
Crystal PrintControl.dll version 12.0.0.796 (verified on server and client)
Details:
Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer Object & ActiveX Print Control Report Printing Scenario
From a typical 27 page report, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASPX Report Viewer Object.
The Print window with the message Crystal Reports Print Control immediately appears on the screen. This window is on the screen for approx 30 seconds.
The Print Setup window finally appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Retrieving page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 2 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 3 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 4 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 5 message appears in the Print window. The message is in the window for less than 1 second.
After 3 MINUTES of waiting the report finally starts printing.
Crystal Reports 10 ASP ActiveX Report Viewer Report Printing Scenario
From the same typical 27 page report that was used in the Crystal Reports 2008 scenario, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASP ActiveX Report Viewer.
The Print window Immediately appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Print window Immediately disappears from the screen and the report Immediately starts printing.
The entire print process takes only 3 u2013 4 SECONDS.
Even though we are trying to get the users to decrease the amount of paper used in report printing. They still do a significant amount of printing. The difference between the print performance using Crystal Reports 10 (3-4 seconds) and Crystal Reports 2008 (3 minutes) is totally unacceptable to our users.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a known fix for it? This is the only thing holding us back from our upgrade and it has become very frustrating to us.
Much thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

Hi Brian,
Please have a look at [this|Crystal 11.5 Activex control for viewer; post.
However, have you tried with the No Printer options available in Print Options window from designer?

Atanu.

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

Server error in printing in server using crystal report 2008 with VS2008

Hi,
We are using Crystal report 2008 in VS 2008. Everything working fine in local but when we deployed it in the server we are getting the below while print the report.
"An error occurred on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information"
Anyhow the report is printing but I don't know why this error is occur and how to stop this. I had installed the CR runtime in the server. I dont know what is going wrong. The same we tested locally in a non crystal report installed PC.
Please help me to get rid out of this error.
Thanks
Natraj

Soemthing strange going on here.
Typically this Integrated vs Classic is an issue with images where Classic uses web.config tags between <system.web><httpHandlers><u2026 crystalimagehandler../></httphandlers></system.web>
Integrated uses tags between <system.webserver>u2026<handlers><..crystalimagehandler/></handlers></system.webserver>
Not sure why this would affect printing. Do you have tags that specifying where to download the printcontrol from? On the other hand, I would think that if images had anything to do with it, then you'd get red Xs when viewing. As far as I know, the printcontrol.cab doesnu2019t need to be specified in the <system.webserver> tags.
This one may be best resolved over the phone. Phone support can be obtained here:

Uninstall CRVS2010 that you currently have installed.
To remove the assemblies from the GAC use gacutil. Google will get you a number of links on how to. Also, see the KB [1535325 - How to remove CRVS2010 Beta 2|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533333335333333323335%7D.do].

Printing PO's using Crystal Report

Hi,
I am printing Purchase order using crystal reports. And when I print single PO, it is printing perfectly and I am printing one PO per page in pre printed stationery. But when I Print Multiple PO's i.e., mass printing, the first record gets printed correctly but when the printer scrolls to second page, the header section jumps one line above and when it scrolls to third page, it jumps two lines above and so on. And I am using continous stationery in dot matrix printer. How to print multiple PO's with Correct page header alignment. (Also I found the same problem when I print A/R Invoice).
Thnx in Advance.
Regards,
S Desikan

Dot matrix printer has the inherated weakness for linefeed control.
You have to change the page setting quite a few times before it can be fit.
If possible, laser printer will be much better. What you see is what you get.
Thanks,

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
Thanks,
Jagannath

Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control? We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options. In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

Unknown Database Connector Error using Crystal Report XI with Windows 7

My current configuration is:
Windows XP Professional
Crystal Reports XI Professional
Oracle Client 10g
This is working great, however we are switching to Windows 7 Professional and I need to get this same configuration working on the new machines.
I have loaded Windows 7 Professional and Oracle Client 10g. Oracle makes the data connection without any problems. I loaded Crystal Reports XI Professional, but it will not connect to the Oracle database. It keeps giving me the Unknown Database Connector error. Can anyone assist me with this problem? This is the final software package that is holding up the project.
Thanks

Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

Hi Friends,
I am new user for SAP crystal report,
can any one help me for
Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

Font must be True Type and on the WEB server where the report is being processed.
Run Process Monitor and see if your app is loading the Font....
Typically if the characters show up as a box it means either the font you are using does not support UNICODE characters, it's not installed so font substition is done but the font used doesn't have the Glyph's required or there is a permission issue with the font being instlaled under a local User account and should be installed under the Admin account.
Also, Search for Font and Windows Framework, there are known limitations with .NET Framework and some fonts.
What font are you using?

How to get the Report Page count using crystal reports 2008

Hi,
I have to implement a business logic where in i will have to display the no. of pages generated for the report
Say for e.g. crytal report that's generated spans 25 pages in the report.

So, how would i get this report page count so that i can fetch the value and display the same to the user.
Any sample code snippet would be of great help.

Using crystal reports to generate invoices

Post Author: samme
CA Forum: General
I'm writing a report for a client who wants to print multiple invoices using crystal reports. The invoice needs to sort in date order, one date and information associated with that date on each page. Each page has a subtotal since multiple items/services are linked ot one date. The last page of the invoice needs to have the total and should at the bottom of the page with the last subtotal. Not onlastrecord does not work because if the user prints multiple invoices, crystal doesn't see the "last record" until the last record of the last invoice.
The client wants the normal invoice information on the first page of the invoice: Company Logo, Customer Address, Company Info, Invoice #, Date, etc. as well as the column headers - quantity, unit of measure, price, etc.
On all other pages of the invoice, the client wants, the company logo, the invoice # and the column headers.
I have the report grouped by invoice number and then by a date formula. I cannot seem to get where I need to be with this invoice and have been working on it for some time. Can anyone give me some direction please.....
Thanks in advance!

I do understand, I'm not a programmer either :-(
the company who wrote report builder is Digital Metaphors, they have a
very good
training application and additional detailed information of how to
write
reports.
The CIM schema is I agree Cr** (well not easy) and without the detail
that
Novell provide it doesn't work.
I hope that a friend of mine is going to provide the compromise that
you and I
are looking for. Namely the ability to create the SQL queries that
ART can
make, with a simple report system. Keep an eye on caledonia.net for
an
announcement for ART4 (Derived from but unrelated to Salford
Software's
product) :-)
