Unable to load password protected Accdb file using crystal reports 2008

Hi,
I am trying to generate crystal reports using crystal reports 2008 and in the process, I am internally setting accdb file to all my rpt files .
When i try to map my accdb file (Without passord protection) to all my rpt files, everything works fine and i am able to generate reports.
But, when i try to map the password protected accdb file to the rpt file, it throws me an error saying
"LogOn failed. "

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.

Problem using Crystal Reports 2008 with DB/C FS ODBC Datasource.

HI,
I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 to connect to an ODBC datasource that using the DB/C FS driver from dbcsoftware (www.dbcsoftware.com). When I connect to the source and add a table it shows all string fields as 255 characters long when that is not the case in the data definition for the driver.
This issue has been brought up and resolved in previous versions of Crystal Reports. In Crystal Reports XI it was ADAPT ticket 00307997. It's worth noting that even though this issue says it was resolved in version XI with service pack 4 I still experience it in that version of CR as well.
If anyone has a solution to this for Crystal Reports 2008 please share.
Thank you,
David Guthu

Hi David,
Looking over the Adapt it was fixed in CR XI R2 Service Pack 4. CR XI is not the same so not sure if this is a typo or not.
I don't see a branch for CR 2008 so I'll create one for you but this may be a different issue. The adapt was for all fields coming back as 65K and not 255. Also this was tracked in 2004 and fixes created for all versions of Cr at the time. These fixes get rolled forward so I'm thinking FS changed their driver with their latest build or at some earlier build.
Note from Developer:
DBCFS ODBC driver return meta data (e.g. column type) as SQL_DOUBLE instead of SQL_NUMERIC.
ODBC bind as SQL_DOUBLE or SQL_NUMERIC but always retrieve data (in this case column type) as SQL_NUMERIC.
Have you contacted FS to see if they have any patches or updates available? Are they following ANSII 92 Standards?
To build a business case for this issue can you purchase a single support case, once it's been resolved you can get a refund, the reason being it adds more weight to the issue and we can escalate it at a higher level. Otherwise it goes in as a low priority issue and no fix date set.
Also, we can then pass files back and forth etc. which we can not do through forums.
Can you turn on ODBC tracing? I would like to see what the trace file shows.
Thank you
Don

How to view multiple reports using crystal reports 2008

Hi ,
I am working on vb6 project where in i am trying to generate reports using crystal reports 2008.
For this , i am making use of Interop Form Wrapper class in vb6.
I have a business requirement where in i need to view multiple reports on my screen.
please suggest me as to how this can be achieved.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Ramnath

Hi Ludek,
I am directly now using crystal report viewer control in my vb6 project.
As mentioned in previous mail, i have created a Interop Wrapper class over crystal report viewer control in .Net using visual studio 2008 and i am making use of wrapper class in my vb6 project.
I am able to access all the properties that have been defined in my Interop wrapper Class but the only stuff i need is to view multiple reports generated one after the another for a single button click Event.
Please find below the code that iam using to load and generate reports.
Note:
1. frm is the instance of my Interop Wrapper Class built over CR viewer control
2. All the user defined methods of Wrapper class that you see below will internally call the actual crystalreportviewer   properties defined in my Wrapper class
Say for e.g   frm.DisplayToolbar(True) will internally execute crystalreportViewer1.DisplayToolbar = True
frm.SetReportSource(strRptFilePath,0)
frm.SetSelectionFormula(strrecordSelectionFormula)
frm.DisplayToolbar(True)
frm.ShowExportOption(True)
frm.ShowPrintOption(True)
frm.ShowRefreshOption(True)
frm.ShowPAgeNavigateOption(True)
frm.ShowZoomOption(True)
frm.ShowParameterPanelOption(True)
frm.Show()

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:

but still dont know how to do the second question mentioned in previous message:
once the table I want to get the data from is a cluster, and have found the mapping data dictionary of this data cluster, which displayed in crystal report connection as well, however, the data is not what I wanted.

Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 tool to directly reports on SAP R\3 data?

Hi,
Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 Designer to directly reports on SAP R\3 data without any additional Integration Kit for SAP?
I believe the Integartion Kit is only for reporting on SAP BW data.
Thanks in advance for your response and any additinal details you can provide.

Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports). Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
Thanks,
Vasu

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality. It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab. You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

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.
Then i will have to display a message to the user after the report generation something like "25 Pages generated"
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.
Thanks in Advance

but, i don't find FormatEngine property for ReportDocument object.
I just wanted to know whether this property is availale in crystal reports 2008 or should i even install any service packs for this.
Please find below the namespaces that importing in my class
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Imports CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms

Using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with the Brother 9500PC, 9700PC, and P9800PC

We have using Crystal Reports with the Brother Label printers for years until we were forced to use Crystal 2008. The label printers have worked in the past and we usually create a label template in the printer driver and this configuration is stored in the Crystal Report. These label printers can use several different size cartridges. When creating a report using the Editor, the report displays and prints correctly using the template embedded into the report. This is using the updated SP3.3 service pack. The problem is in the Run Time application that is embedded in another application to run the reports. When printing a label from the application, the report previews just fine with the correct size and format. However, when you try to print the label, the run time driver ignores the template embedded in the report and instead uses the default settings for the printer driver. So, if I have a 1 inch cartridge in the printer, and the default settings for the printer is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge, then the report will try to print assuming there is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge which will cause the application to fail. This is a problem with Crystal 2008 (12) and we would like to find a solution to this. Thanks, Doug

Hi Cameron,
You can setup custom label sizes in Crystal. In the folder where you installed Crystal Reports is a text file called Labels_en.txt. This contains the label definition Crystal uses. You can add a new label in here.
Now when you open Crystal and create a new report by selecting the Mailing Label Repotr Wizard, you will see your new label when you get to that step.
When save a report, the report will do two things. If you have set the report to a specific printer, Crystal saves the printer and paper settings inside the RPT. When the print engine runs the report, if it can't find the printer saved in the report it will default to the default printer.
What I believe is happening is the application is loading the report and because it can't find the label printer it was designed with it's going to the default printer. So you do have to set the PrintReportOptions in your application to redirect the report to the correct printer, driver and papersize.
This has pretty much been the way since version 4 that I can remember. The positive side is you don't have to set all the parameters yourself. You can get the PrintReportOptions from the report when you open it. Then you just need to pass the printer name, driver and port. The rest of the options (papersize) will already be populated from the Get.
Good luck,
Brian

Unable To Print or Access Page Setup in Crystal Reports 2008

I have Win 7 32 bit, and installed Crystal Reports 2008 last week (v12.0.0.683 from the Help window).
Every time I open a report, and from the Preview tab clicking File -> Print, or File - > Page Setup, I immediately receive a Windows message that "Crystal Reports has stopped working". After a few seconds, another Windows message displays "Crystal Reports has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then Crystal completely closes.
I downloaded sample reports from the BO website, and still receive the error, so I don't think it's the report.
When I view the Event Log, I see the following:
Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.0.0.683, time stamp: 0x47c8be9a
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdadb

Report Id: 3cfc99e6-8bb8-11e0-b8ef-00248122792c
I have uninstalled and reinstalled CR 2008 multiple times and continue to receive the same error. I tried updating to SP1 (Version 12.1.0.892 Incremental) but I receive the following error: "A BusinessObjects product at a lower patch level is detected. The installation cannot continue. Please update all installed products to the SP1 patch level, then restart this installation".
Need to print my reports - any ideas?

Sorry busy on Support cases and they take precedence over this community forum.
Very interesting....
In a test application I use I have this routine to get the local printers:
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
     if (System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count > 0)
          foreach(String myPrinter in System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters )
               cboCurrentPrinters.Items.Add(myPrinter);
          cboCurrentPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoCurrent.Enabled = false;
          EnableDisableCurrentControls(false);
     //For printers exposed to System account as per MS Kbase
     //http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184291
     //Look to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
     Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey mySystemPrinters =
          Microsoft.Win32.Registry.Users.OpenSubKey(@".DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices");
     foreach (String defaultPrinters in mySystemPrinters.GetValueNames())
          cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Add(defaultPrinters);
     if (cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Count > 0)
          cboDefaultPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoDefault.Enabled = false;
Note the MS Kabse on where the printer registry is. Now the odd part is on one of my test development PC's it won't populate the Default User Printer list, only the Local User Printers. I take this same app to another PC and it works just fine. The register keys are there but for some reason on my Windows 7 64 bit it won't show them, the other strange part is I have full access to both keys. I have not been able to figure out why this happens...
I'm thinking this may be related to your issue.... But I don't have a solution, very strange... I've even gone into regedit32 and set full permissions on the various keys and it still doesn't work...
I have other VM-ware images if I need to get past that part for testing so I never drilled into why, I believe it has to be some Windows/Firewall/Anti-virus configuration or something our IT department pushed into my local Profile.... What that is I don't know unfortunately.
I'll do some looking and testing. You may want to post this on Microsoft forums as well.... Ask about printer permissions.
Thanks
Don

Can not use crystal reports 2008

Hi All
I m not able to use crystal reports on windows server. I can use it everyehere bt not on the server i dnt know if the problem is bcoz it's a 64bit machine or not.
We are using .Net application.
Thanks in advance.
Anita

Hi Anita
Crystal Reports 2008 doesnu2019t have 64 bit support or runtime hence you are getting the attached error.
To run the application with Crystal reports there are two workarounds:
1. Run the IIS under 32 bit mode so that your application will use 32 bit Crystal Reports runtimes.
For this please do the steps mentioned below:
1.When compiling the application in Visual Studio .NET 2008 you will need to force it to 32 bit mode.
You can do this by right-clicking the project name in the Solution Explorer.
2.For VB.NET
Click Compile, then Advanced Compile Options. For the Target CPU drop down box, change it from "AnyCPU" to "x86" then click OK.
3.For C#.NET
Click Build and change the Platform Target option from "Any CPU" to "x86".
Now follow the steps mentioned in the Kbase article from below link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435
You should then be able to run the application on a 64 bit OS without error.
The second workaround is
To change the references in your web application to CR 10.5 i.e. Crystal Reports basic for Visual Studio 2008. Crystal Reports 10.5 has the runtime for 64 bit machine.
For this:
1. Uninstall Crystal Reports 2008 from your machine.
2. Run the set up file for Visual Studio 2008 (from CD or the installation source that you use).
3. Click on Repair.
4. From the list of components select Crystal Reports 10.5 and click on Next.
5. After the repair is done you should be able to use the application using Crystal Reports.
Hope this helps!!
                                                                                Regards,

Problems Using Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports in CR2008 Basic

I just downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports from
[Service Packs, Hot Fixes, Samples, and Utilities|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000714768&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&] to use them with CR2008 Basic. I have trouble using them . It tries to connect to to a website to download an xml file. Has anyone tried these sample reports in CR2008 Basic ?

From the portal you have mentioned, I had downloaded, "Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports - Demonstration" (demo_smpl.zip) which had three reports - Comparative Income Statement.rpt, Order Processing Efficiency Dashboard.rpt, World Sales Report.rpt.
These reports work fine for me.

Using Crystal Reports 2008 standalone to edit CR basic reports?

Can I use a stand-alone Crystal Reports 2008 to edit reports created with Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008?
On this project I am working with other developers who don't want to install the full CR 2008 and I really need to to use full CR 2008 to be able to edit a few things in reports I can't do with CR basic in Visual Studio (like changing colors for bars in charts which you can't edit in VS).
I also don't want to use the CR 2008 runtime for running the application, just the runtime which comes with VS 2008.
Is it safe to edit a report in CR 2008 and then use it within Visual Studio (assuming I don't add any CR 2008 specific functions)?
I made a test and installed CR 2008 but without installing the .NET options (however only 1.1 and 2.0 was listed I guess I need to install SP0 to get VS 2008 support anyway). I could change colors for bars etc and save it and open it again in VS 2008. VS complained about
The full CR designer is also much better to work with so if I can use full CR 2008 without affecting my VS application that would be nice (I guess installing the .NET components would force the use of CR 2008 runtime assemblies).
Also another question:
When you use datasets as datasource and use the preview in VS it will use some fake data. But in CR 2008 stand-alone you don't get any data at all. Is there a way to do the same with full CR?

Hi Magnus,
You can use CR 2008 to edit reports but there are warnings. .NET version of CR is 10.5, based on the CR version 10 functionality. CR 2008 has much more functionality so as long as you don't add any features of CR 2008 to the reports then it should work. But it is recommended that you use the same version for functionality and 100% compatability.
Yes you do need SP0 installed.
You should also upgrade to CR 2008 Developer then you can use the full SDK functionality within .NET and be able to support all the latest OS platforms.
Please post a separate question for your database question. Use one posting for each question, if not the posts tend to get messy.
Thank you
Don
