Using MS Access to Pull Up the Report Viewer - Crystal Reports 2008

We recently purchased Crystal Reports 2008 Developer so that we can create standardized and feature rich reporting solutions for our company. Many of our current applications are developed in MS Access XP. It has been quite some time since I have worked in Crystal Report and it seems a lot has changed.
One thing I remember is that there was an ActiveX control that could be added to an Access application, giving the application the ability to pull up a report in a separatre Crystal Viewer. I am having difficulties is finding an object in Access for Cyrstal Reports 2008 (Crystal 12) for the Report Viewer. Is there still such an ActiveX object available for MS Access applications?

Thanks. I got it now.
Now my problem is getting the crpe32.dll registered. I keep getting an error and the CrystalVCL example application fails due to not beign able to fnd the correct version.
You'll have to treat me like I'm stupid on this one. I usually work in the over simplified Access application "development". So dealing with any real object oriented environment and any complex dll registering is a bit beyond me at this point. But I'm learning.
I have two crpe32.dll's on my computer one is in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
And another is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\BusinessObjects\3.0\bin
I have tried registering both of these and neither one will work. So, maybe that means that the're not supposed to be registered through regsvr32?

Missing column at the end of report in Crystal report server 2008 VI

When we run the reports in Crystal report server 2008 VI, for some reports we see the last column is missing some characters. I have few reports that show numbers with decimals at the end of the report, but in CMC it cuts the number at the start of the decimal. I only see the numbers upto the decimal. When I run the same report in Crystal designer, everything works fine.
I had the same problem with CR developer 2008 and I used the following code to fix it:
Private Sub SetMargins(ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument, ByVal left As Integer, ByVal top As Integer, ByVal right As Integer, ByVal bottom As Integer)
        Dim myPageMargins As PageMargins
        myPageMargins = myReportDocument.PrintOptions.PageMargins
        myPageMargins.leftMargin = left
        myPageMargins.topMargin = top
        myPageMargins.rightMargin = right
        myPageMargins.bottomMargin = bottom
        myReportDocument.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(myPageMargins)
    End Sub
Any help is greatly appreciated.

HI Don,
Install the same default printer as what you have onto the CRS server then what you should be the same. Also, which viewer are you using, ActiveX, DHTML or Java on the CRS Server?
Thanks
Don

V361:If you are not on product version 11.5.8.963 (help, about CR) you will need to download the latest hotfix, or R2 upgrade. When you run that, it will prompt you for language as part of the process. I've installed R2 (upgrade). And when installing I selected the Englisch language. But this is de language the setup is in, this is NOT the language of Crystal Reports when it is installed completely.The language of my installation is still Dutch. My product version is now: 11.5.8.826

How to center the content in crystal report viewer in code?
Edited by: Mathew_666 on Oct 6, 2011 5:20 AM

Since there is no control for center you'll need to do the math on your own. This is just a rough draft, but you'll get the idea.
One of the things you'll need to figure out is your buffer to help you give a centered feel. We'll say that value is 50 in this case.
Height
int buffer = 50;
int formHeight = 1000; // we'll assume a height of 1000 in this case
int crystalTop = buffer;
int crystalViewerHeight = formHeight - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom
Width
int formWidth = 1000; // we'll assume a width of 1000 in this case
int crystalLeft = buffer;
int crystalViewerWidth = formWidth - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Report in Crystal reports has different values in Infoview

I have uploaded a Crystal Report into BO Enterprise using the CMC.
The logging into the Infoview to view the report and the results are different to those in the report when run against the same data in Crystal reports.
It is pulling up data, but not the correct figures. I dont know where it is getting its data from.
Any help would be appreciated.

I deleted the ODBC connection and recreated it with a new name.
I then relinked the report in crystal reports, and it suddenly decided to give updated values.
Thanks

Can't view Crystal Reports from BW

Hi,
I'm installing SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 with IIS. I am able to publish reports from BW to BOE but not able view them from BW. I followed the documentation to use report/report_view.aspx to define the viewer application in Content Administration Workbench. But it is giving me a "The page cannot be found" error when I try to view Crystal Reports from BW. I tried looking for the file report/report.aspx but cannot find it. I was able to locate the file in SAP_CrystalReport_View/report_view.aspx. I repointed the system to this path but it still giving me the same error.
Anybody here encountered this before?
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi Ingo,
- has the report being saved to BW and then published to BusinessObjects enterprise ?
    Yes, the report is being published from BW to BOE successfully.
- did you import the ABAP Transports to the BW system ?
    I imported all the transports that came with the Integration Kit. I'm not sure if the ABAP transport is one of them.
- has the viewing service in transaction SICF been configured ?
    Yes, the top entry in the handler list is /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER.
I did notice that the BW system is on a different subdomain than the web application server. For example,
   BW system        - bw01.us.mydomain.com
   BOE web server -   boweb.mydomain.com
Would that affect the single sign on?

CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

dsReport = null;
GC.Collect();

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

However, we are able to view the report in thick client Crystal Designer using same user id. This issue is occurring only for this user and rest of the users are able to view the report in Infoview and Crystal Designer.
It would be great if any of you can provie a solution to this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
BAI

Hi Nanda Kishore,
This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager. Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically. Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
Thanks,
Sastry

Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
We are using Postgres database and connected to it with ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
- All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
- All subreports are included in the Main report page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
The crash message is:
"crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
Error report contains this data:
AppName: crw32.exe AppVer: 12.2.0.290 ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
ModVer: 9.0.2.0 Offset: 0004c538
I am using Windows XP
Crystal Report Version Details:
CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
Product Type: Full
Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

@Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
1. open the report in crystal report 2008
2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
5. Now close the report without saving it.
6. Now Close Crystal Report.
7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
8. Now open Crystal Report
9. Launch the target report.
10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
- I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
- Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
- No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
Any more pointers would help.
