Using Crystal Reports XI, Version 11.0.0.1994, "This field cannot be summarized." Message

Post Author: Caroline Richards
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am currently working on a revenue report that has details with groupings for account, rate codes, and categories of rate codes.
Revenue for each account can be adjusted, and the adjustment is linked to the original revenue amount by an Accounts Receivable Transaction Number. The correct summary for higher groupings are affected when an adjustment is made to the same revenue amount (same AR Transaction Number) more than once. I have been able to calculate the correct revenue amount in a formula, leaving out the duplicated revenue when there's more than one adjustment on the revenue; however, when I try to summarize the calculated revenue amount in any way, I get a message stating: "This field cannot be summarized."
Is there a way around this so that I can use the calculated amount? Will an array work?

CA Forum: Formula
In CR, you cannot summarize on a summary field. Since the formula already has a summary function in it, you will not be able to summarize on the formula field.
Workaround would be to calculate summaries using a running total or another formula and thus avoid the summary using summary situation.

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].

JDeveloper 9i (9.0.4) and Crystal Reports 9

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?

Using Crystal Reports version 8.5

Hi,
    I am using legaly Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and Crystal Reports Basic for VS 2008 for software developing and reporting.
    My client usees a third party software with reports designed in Crystal Reports 8.5 and I have to create new reports for that application. My client has Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime installed. I tested, if I install Cristal Reports 2008 Runtime for my new reports, the other reports in 8.5 version is not work correctly. The migration of the existing reports to new version of Crystal Reports is not possible.
    My questions are:
    1. I can legaly use Cristal Reports 8.5 developer software if I have Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008?
    2. If I can, please tell me a link to download Crystal Reports 8.5.
    3. Can I install Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime and Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime on same computer and all the reports, designed in the two versions of Crystal Reports, to work correctly?
Thank you!

OK. this post turned out to be longer than I intended, but I hope it clarifies your situation and options.
I am not sure what you mean when you say:
I tested, if I install Cristal Reports 2008 Runtime for my new reports, the other reports in 8.5 version is not work correctly.
But here is a stab at an answer; Reports created in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008, can not be run by CR 8.5 as the file format is too different and CR 8.5 does not understand it.
Next time, it will be helpful to describe what is happening. Saying "...not work correctly" is pretty lame.
A few things I want to clarify:
I can legally use Crystal Reports 8.5 developer software if I have Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008?
- Yes, you can. What AG meant to say was that CR 8.5 can not / should not be used in .NET. Not tested, not supported. But you can install CR 8.5 and it will live quite happily side by side with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008
If I can, please tell me a link to download Crystal Reports 8.5.
- Not sure what you are asking for. CR 8.5 had to be purchased. As it has been out of support for over 10 years now, you can not purchase it any more.
Can I install Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime and Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime on same computer and all the reports, designed in the two versions of Crystal Reports, to work correctly?
CR 8.5 and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008 will work side by side fine. However as I mentioned above, reports created in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008 will not work with CR 8.5. Reports created in CR 8.5 will work in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008.
Another point. I notice you say:
Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime
Very careful there as there is Crystal Reports 2008 (v 12.x) and the runtime would be Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime. There is a version of CR that bundles with VS 2008 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008) which as file version of 10.5 and thus a CR 10.5 runtime.
Finally, to what I think you are really after. Correct me if I am wrong:
1) You have a customer that has a 3rd party app built using CR 8.5
2) Neither you, not your customer have CR 8.5
3) You want to build additional reports for the customer
If my interpretation above is correct, then you are probably out of luck. As already mentioned, CR 8.5 is not available for purchase. Versions of CR later than CR 8.5 create rpt file formats that CR 8.5 does not udnerstand.
Your options:
1) Create a new app in .NET2008 using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio .NET 2008. You have to use the CR assemblies for .NET and you can use the CR 8.5 reports and any new reports you might want to create.
2) Call sales (866-681-3435) and see if there is any way you can still purchase CR 8.5. Umm, don't hold your breath, but you never know...

Attaining PDF version 1.3 using Crystal Reports 10.5

Hi,
I'm using VS 2008 for a Web Application. I'm generating Reports using Crystal version 10.5. When I export the Report to PDF I'm getting PDF version 1.2. I'm using Windows 7 and my PDF Viewer software is Adobe Acrobat 9.0. Kindle Suggest me how to attain PDF version 1.3 using Crystal Reports 10.5
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik Sivakumar.

Hello,
For backward compatibility CR 10.5 exports to 1.2. There is no control over the version of PDF CR exports to in any version.
But this would be a great feature, add your suggestion to Idea place as an enhancement request.
Thank you

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.

Not able to see the crystal reports XI version in the IE 7 and IE 8

Hi Team,
I am using web based application developed in VB,ASP,SQL SERVER,Crystal Reports(XI). I am able to see the Crystal Reports in IE 6. But i am not able to see the reports in IE 7 and IE 8. While clicking on the reports button it is showing the red X image top left cornor.

In IE 6,if the client using fiirst time for vieiwing the reports,it will ask the Activexviewer control prompt and says ok,it will display the reports.
Thanks and Regards
Eshwar

Thanks your advise.But we are using following crystal reports (XI) version and we don't have CRXI with R1 and R2.
CurrentVersion:11.0.0.895 ( CR Developer and Product Type:Full)
Crystal Reportviewer11 configured in the IIS which is version (5.0). and configured the virtual folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\.
Our web application code also configured in the IIS at same level.
When the user wants to see the reports through the application,it will ask the Plugin of Crystal Report Viewer and user will download this plugin and it will save in the IE plug ins.It will ask only first time viewing the reports for the next onwards it will not ask or prompt of the Activex control.
So please suggest me, is there any upgrade version of this Crystal Reportviewer11 needs to be installed or any browser setting need to be configured for IE 7 and IE 8.
waiting for your reply.

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,

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI

The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.

Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
    Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
    Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
    Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
    When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
    if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
    pc?
    if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
    barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
    Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server?   we've seen some indication, that they
    also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

I couldn't use Crystal Report Viewer Control in my ASPX page.

Please I'm having a problem with crystal report viewer control which I couldn't resolve. I'm using VS 2008 and Framework 3.5.
I building an ASP web application and when I add a CrystalReportViewer to my ASPX page I'm getting the following
error.
"Error 20 Type 'CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer' is not defined."
I think maybe because I'm not having the right reference file. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and also I installed the following
Service Packs:
cr121_redist_install
CR2008-SP1
CR2008SP1-Fixes 1 and 2
cr121_clickonce
I check all the reference files in my project and they are as follow:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (12.0.2000.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework (12.0.1100.0)

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll (12.0.2000.0)
Please Why I'm getting this problem? How I can resolve it?
Thanks.

If you have a viewer on one of your forms, delete it off the form and re-add it, ensuring that the crystalreports.web assembly referenced in your project is version 12.

How to use Crystal Report in JDeveloper

Hi all,
I'm a JDeveloper fresher. To day, i want to use Crystal Report 2008 in JDeveloper.
Please support to me: how to setup, config Crystal Report to use with JDeveloper.
share to me your demo if you have.
Thanks!

No, I don't have example (I usually work with Crystal Reports inside MS Visual Studio and C#)
But some very basic example would be:
1. Create rpt file in Crystal Report Designer
2. Download CR Java Runtime files from here: SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse - Down... | SCN
3. Add necessary jar files from previous step to your jdev project
4. Create new java servlet and map to some url (for example: /reports)
5. Add button/link to invoke this servlet, for example <a href="reports" target="_blank">click here</a>
6. Inside your servlet add code similar to this:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    try {
        reportClientDoc.open("Path to your report file", 0);
// for example, to output pdf file
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
        reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF, response.getOutputStream());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
If you want to use Crystal Reports JSF Viewer then you need to copy "crystalreportviewers" folder from downloaded CR Java Runtime to public_html location inside your app
and adjust code in servlet:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    try {
        reportClientDoc.open("Path to your report file", 0);
        Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
        CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
        viewer.setOwnPage(true);
        viewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
        viewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.PDF);
        viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), response.getWriter());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
Of course, you can embed this viewer in existing page(instead of opening in new page/tab)

Database Location using Crystal Report XI

Crystal Report XI Developers Edition; VB 6 Enterprise Edition
Prior to using Crystal Reports, I will create (if not already there) a database in my Visual Basic project file.
Via Crystal Report XI, when I designed reports, I used Database Location as my project file where I stored a copy of the .mdb file.
Prior to creating an "installaltion setup" package, I will create a Directory in Program Files. Let's use and example--I'll call the Directory in Program Files "Sports" so what I do is to copy the ".mdb" file to this directory and change the database location in the rpt files to "C:\Program Files\Sports".
I have a question, in most install packages, the installer has the option to change the location of the setup files. Let's say installing my application, the user changes the directory. Therefore, the setup files (including the database) are not in "C:\Program Files\Sports" they are in "C:\Program Files\SomeOtherDirectory".
QUESTION: How does Crystal Report know about this change? Remember in the design I setup the database location as ""C:\Program Files\Sports". Is there a way to tell CR where the database file is located (i.e. application path)?
Thanks,
Sam

The Crystal Reports dlls must be in the correct Bin directory (depends on the version of CR used). You can not change this. If you are using a database such as Access mdb, you can set the report to look in it's own directory for the mdb database. If that is what will work for you, ensure that the report and the database file are in the same folder. let me know if you need more info on this.
