Problem with crystal report that comes with VStudio 2008 Database edition

Hello,
I'm using crystal reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008 Database edition. But I'm having a problem these days. When there are more than 4 pages in the report, the summary field in the pagefooter(usually sum of data in the Details section) show 0 in the first page.It will be displaying in all other pages. I couldnt sort out the problem.I'm binding data to the report from an SQL Server 2005 table.
Thanks in advance.I really appreciate if some one can sort out the problem quickly.

Have not heard of the issue, but download SP1 and see if that helps:

Problem in Crystal Report 2008 selectionFormula

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am having a strange problem in Crystal report 2008. Earlier I was using VS 2005 Crystal report. Then we purchased Crystal report 2008.
When I open the VS 2005 projects it asks the reports to convert into Crystal report 2008. I did that.
Earlier I was using the following syntax for passing the date as selectionFormula
Dim selectionFormula As String = "{tblClient.Name} = '" & ddlClient.SelectedItem.Text & "' and {TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #" _& Convert.ToDateTime(DtCtrlProDateFrom.DateTimeValue) & "#u201D WeeklyReportByClientNameReport.DataDefinition.RecordSelectionFormula = selectionFormula
But now when I run this same it says
This field name is not known. Details: errorkind Error in the file rptWeeklyReport.rpt: Error in formula Record_selection:
u2018{tblClient.Name} = 'ABC10' and "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #04/20/2008#u2019 This field name is not known. Details: errorkind
I have no idea about this
Even If I tried to pass as follows
selectionFormula = "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = DateTime (2008, 04, 25, 00, 00, 00) and {TBILL_File_Format.Client Code} = 'ABC10' "
I couldnu2019t see any record on the report except Grouptree of the report. If I export the report it has all the data as I expected.
Please help me out on this regards.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I use CR2008 and VS2005, it never asked me to convert the file into VS2005. What do you mean by VS 2005 asked you to convert the file? Did you make the file in CR2008 and then imported it into VS2005 as a Report Document?
I usually create a report on CR2008 and then move that report (copy) to the same folder as VS project folder, then from there I create a new Report Doc in VS and open the file.
As you mentioned when you export the report it works fine but when you run it it gives errors. I think it is because of the import of the report. Look at the error message as it says the field name is not known, I suspect it is not connected/imported properly.
"This field name is not known. Details: errorkind Error in the file rptWeeklyReport.rpt: Error in formula Record_selection:
u2018{tblClient.Name} = 'ABC10' and "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #04/20/2008#u2019 This field name is not known. Details: errorkind"
I think it is becasue of the import of the report or could be becasue you didnt save the report with an option of "save report data". Check your report and reimport it. might fix the problem:D

Faxing a Crystal Report that has been exported to a PDF

Hi. I am having a problem trying to fax a Crystal Report that has been exported to a PDF. I am using Windows XP Pro SP3, VB.Net 2008 and the Crystal Reports that came with it. The report exports to a PDF with no problem. Generally, I can fax a document by putting <TOFAXNUM:12481234567><NOCOVER><DELETE><FINE> at the beginning of a document and send it to my fax printer. The fax printer requires the <embedded code> to be in a printer font rather than a true type font. I put the embedded code as a report header on the report using Courier font, but it has a problem when it converts my font. I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with converting my font before it sends it to the printer. Is there a solution in Crystal Reports to convert the font to printer font?

I am using Table Adapters to filter my data from multiple Sql tables and processing the data using VB.net 2008. Once I have the data, I write it to temporary tables which are the data source for my Crystal Report. The Sql queries are not part of the Crystal Report designer. Within the VB.net , I export the report to a stream in PDF format. The VB.net code is done. I'm looking for a way to fax the report without having to re write my entire code. I don't think the report can be exported thru the designer the way I have my data sources set up.

There is a problem with the Outlook database. Your database could not be rebuilt. [-18000]

For home use, I recently changed from Windows PC to MacBook Air. I have an iPhone 4 which I synched without problem to the PC. Since I have used Outlook for years on Windows and trusted advisors assured me Microsoft Office on the Mac is the same as Microsoft Office on Windows, I decided to continue using Microsoft Office. Because I cannot get my Outlook calendar to sync reliably to iCal / iPhone and because I have found a small but meaningful number of features I use daily in Outlook Windows do not work on Outlook Mac, I have never been in so much pain!
The latest problem is Outlook does not complete startup. I get this error:
There is a problem with the Outlook database. To use the database, you must rebuild it using the Database Utility.
I run the utility but it never completes successfully.
Step 1 of 5: Scannning...
Step 2 of 5: Verifying...
Step 3 of 5: Copying records to new database...
Step 4 of 5: Recovering data...
Your database could not be rebuilt. [-18000]
I have found many articles about this problem but they all seem to assume that you can successfully start Outlook then you rebuild the database to fix data corruption in Outlook.
What if I Outlook never completes startup?

Here are the steps that solved the Outlook data corruption problem.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/your-datab ase-could-not-be-rebuilt/5caff467-3ab2-464a-9fe6-00ad913b5f2e
The question was: Your database could not be rebuilt
The key is to create a new Outlook Identity, remove the database file, then copy your data records into the new identity and use the Outlook database utility to rebuild the database.
It's a wonderful feeling to see Outlook start up successfully after a few days of downtime!

There is a problem with the Office database - Office 2011

Good day!
I recently installed Office 2011 for Mac and i'm getting the following error message: There is a problem with the Office database. Excel comes up with the error message but i am able to get past the error and open the application, but it freezes when I try on Word. I have to force quit the application to close it completely.
I've searched online and tried all the suggestions - even those from the discussion board: Problem with Office Mac 2011 database. I've completely removed traces of the software : http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 and reinstalled using the disc, as well as followed suggestions to rebuild the database. I also installed the latest Office update: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44026 from Excel (As it was the only one I know of that's functioning after the error message) but to no avail.
Here are the tech specs:
OS X
version 10.9.5
Office 2011 for Mac
Version 14.4.4 (140807)
Update: 14.4.4
Hope you guys can point me to the right direction. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best ask question on one of the Microsoft boards.
Could try NeoOffice.

Problem with making a database link.

Hello All
I got a problem with making a database link.
When I execute this query
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK DBNAME
CONNECT TO database IDENTIFIED BY name
USING 'DBNAME.europe.company.com';
I am using other names because its private information
But when I look at the table dba_db_links I see this
OWNER | DB_LINK | USERNAME |HOST
PUBLIC| DBNAME.europe.company.com| name| DBNAME.europe.company.com
So the DB_Link name is changed. And this causes a problem with my asp website. I get the fault message
ORA-02085: database link DBNAME.europe.company.com connects to DBNAME
Cause: a database link connected to a database with a different name. The connection is rejected.
The global_names = true and I prefer to keep it that way.
So does anyone knows what is wrong about my Query or how I can change the DB_Link name.
Thanks for the support,
Remco

Thanks for the help Mohit
But thats whats I was doing.
The query in the first post is the same as what you are posting.
But by an (for me) unknown reason the database converts DBNAME to DBNAME.europe.company.com

Which is the lowest version of Crystal reports that shall work on BW 7.3?

Hi,
Can you tell me which is the lowest version of crystal reports that will work with BW 7.3?
If given any reference document also it will be useful.
Regards,
Vignesh

Just adding to Vitaly's point that when you load CR 2008 Sp4, you also need to upgrade SAP IK to the same patch level i.e. SP4
You also have to load the respective transports for the service pack that you are loading.

Crystal Report that reads from an XML file Datetime or Date

I have a Crystal Report 2008 that reads from an XML file, the source File XML Date data looks like this: 2008-03-10
But the Crystal Report interpreted by datatime, I need the Crystal Report to look like this: 2008/03/10 (date) not 2008-03-10T00:00:00-05:00 (datatime)
Look at an example (source file xml, report, and parameter file to execute report) at url: http://www.5websoft.com/sample.zip
Import the file in the design and will to verify that interpret incorrectly the fields of type date as datetime
not mapped currently for fields..
Help.....
Thanks!

You could always reformat the field to only display the date portion:
Format Field > Date and Time tab; choose the date style you need here.
Or create a formula to extract just the date and use this field in your report:
date({table.field})

hi again. first a have to apologize. i have oracle
database express edition 10g from school,so i dont
have registered version.When I said 'register' I didn't mean have it licensed, Oracle XE doesn't require any kind of license registration, it is free. By registering it I meant a technical issue. Once the database is started it tries to contact the listener at 1521 port, once contacted the oracle instance registers itself against it, and if it is successful you will have the administrator's page initialized and ready to access at the default 8080 port.
when i type SQL commands, command line wrote me
SP2-0734:unknown command beginning ENTERED COMMAND
Could you please specify which command did you try to enter?
>
and when i open RUN DATABASE, command line wrote
C:\OracleDatabase\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN
net started OracleServiceXE - system error 5, accessdenied
What do you mean with 'RUN DATABASE'?

An error in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Greetings from Peru,
We have a problem with one of the Crystal Reports products weu2019d like you to help us with. We work with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
The error weu2019ve detected is in one of our systemu2019s reports; this report shows data inside frames. When the content to show is larger (in height) than the space left in the page, the container object of the report makes a line break keeping the title and the frame empty at the end of that page, but the information is shown in the next page. What we need is that not empty frame is displayed.
Weu2019ve tried to solve this problem by adjusting the report in different ways (by programming coding), but unfortunately this problem is related to how much data is displayed, because if this data fit in the space left in the page, the line break would not occurs and the data is shown at the end of the same page.
We hope you can help us with this issue. I look forward to your comments.

All I can think of is trying CR 2008 (v.12.x). You can obtain an eval copy from here:

Deploying crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008 for VB6

My application has a module in .net and other in vb6.
I have a problem on deploying crystal reports in client machines, for module in vb6.
The vb6 application uses crystal viewer control obtained from crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.
What type of deployment should I use?
Currently, I have a setup with prerequisite "crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008".
But I think it misses the dlls crviewer.dll and craxddrt.dll, so I put them in setup and with the register COM options, and it works, but it's not working very well.
When I open a form that uses crystal viewer, the setup (I have created) is lunched and says that have to restart machine. Then it opens the report, but the next time I use the application it does the same thing.

Ok, thank's for the posts, they help so much.
So I'm going to discard vb6 and move to .NET, but... there is a problem:
Many reports have parameters that are asked before showing the report.
The Crystal Viewer that is used in VB6 version isn't the same used in .NET.
The viewer of VB6 asks the parameters in the way we want, however the .NET crystal viewer ask's the parameters in way that we don't like, because we have to do next -> next -> next...
The links above show the diferences:
VB6 -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249249283702618322
.NET -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249246459437178242
There is a way to configure Crystal Viewer, so that parameters asking form will work like the vb6 away?

Crystal Reports 10 and Visual Studio 2008

Hi All
I've got an application that I recieved from my cleint. This is running Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 10 backend being Oracle 10.2
However, when I try to run the applincation and open any report it pops up an error "crdb_oracle.dll" not found.
I have searched this on the internet and found that there were many suggestions there. I've tried all the suggestions like reinstalling the Oracle client, Re Installing Crystal etc.,
But the error remained as is.
When i try to do a regsvr32 on this dll it fails. Am really not sure why this is happening
Any help from any one out there is highly appreciated.
Pavan
UPDATE:
I've verified the versions though. They are workign fine at the customer place.
Here is what they have done.They have got Oracle, VS 2008 and Crystal Reports 10. They got the reports embedded into .NET environment and are able to view the reports.
But when we try to execute the same code, it pops up the error, "Crdb_oracle.dll" could not be loaded.
Wanted some support on this.
Additionally, could you suggest on what needs to be done? Do we need to upgrade crystsal to crystal 2008? Will this work without any errors on the execution side (I'm sure that the customer of mine will not be happy or willing to upgrade but atleast if I get a confiramtion from you I can atleast quote this to the customer) and without any extra redesiging of the reports or any other work on the reports
Pavan Kumar
Edited by: pavan kumar on Jul 30, 2008 4:01 PM

Hi, Pavan;
Likely the problem is that the report was created with a different version of Crystal Reports than the one that ships with VS.NET 2008 (Which is Crystal Reports Basic for VS.NET 2008 - version 10.5). If the report was created with a full version of Crystal Reports, then it would have access to our native Oracle driver, the dll that is giving you the issue.
The full version of Crystal Reports would install that dll, but the .NET version would not. In order to distribute that DLL, yes, the client would need to develop with the full version of Crystal Reports, in this case Crystal Reports 2008.
Regards,
Jonathan

Keycode missing in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I just upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 Professional to Visual Studio 2008 Professional (with SP1 installed also). Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 is listed as installed under the VS Help dialog, but no key code is shown. And when I attempt to open a Crystal Report, I get a dialog saying 'Please wait while Windows configures Crystal Reports Basic', which eventually terminates with an 'Invalid Keycode' message.
I've tried repairing the Visual Studio install, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing. To no avail.
Other facts: My VS 2005 version still works with its version of Crystal Reports. I am running Vista Professional. Looking in the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | VSNET | Keycodes | CR9 NET, I see a Type REG_SZ with a data value in the form xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [6 chars-7 chars-26 chars].
Help! How do I get Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to work?

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your response. I do have versions of Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, and the earlier versions of Crystal Reports worked with these versions. In addition to the registry key I cited earlier (which I now understand is a VS 2003 version), there is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.2 | Crystal Reports | KeyCodes | CR Ent. I see that you are correct, and this corresponds to my VS 2005 installation (which still works). However, there is NO entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.5 (the CR Basic for Visual Studio 2008 path you indicated). There is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Business Objects | 10.5 | Crystal Reports, but it has only keys for ChartSupportPath, CommonFiles, DisablecheckForUpdates, and Path.
The Windows\assembly folder has 25 files that are CrystalDecisions.xxx, version 10.5.3700.0. This is consistent with my seeing 'Crystal Reports' listed as installed in VS 2008 Help. But no KeyCode!
I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of VS 2008, without luck. I can't clean my system of earlier verions of Crystal Reports, because I am still supporting a body of work that I did under VS 2005, and I can't convert all this stuff to 2008 -- at least until I have a fully working VS 2008 suite. After this experience, I fear that if I were to uninstall an earlier version, i might never get it back!
I've spend quite a few hours on this with no luck, so any help would be enormously appreciated.
