Attention!!-don't use OLE object in Reports

If you are planning to use or is currently using OLE objects in Reports-please don't use it as the object maynot reload in future and your report may not even open in Report Builder.I got this message when opening the report containing OLE object:
REP-4004: Error occurred while restoring OLE object
and it refused to open up crashing my days of work.
The pity is I can't open my report even to remove the OLE object.

I know that is weird.I placed the object in the same directory-but in vain.Afterall, what's the logic of putting it in the same directory after embedding it?

Opening Linked Excel OLE Objects in Forms 6i

Hi,
I have a linked Excel OLE object which is populating properly into an OLE container. However, I cannot open the file to save a local copy, as I would a non-linked Excel OLE object. If I right-click on the linked OLE object choose copy, I can paste the data into a spreadsheet, but it appears as an image, rather than as regular tabulated data. Is there anyway to open the file normally?
Thanks in advance.

Use of Webutil in forms 6i on web

hi,
How can i use OLE objects on web for forms 6i only?
Thanks.
Thivan.

You can backport webutil to Forms 6i. You need to change the code in a few places. I have seen articles on how to do it in magazines. Try Google for an online document.
Also this thread:

Display byte array image or ole object in Section through dynamic code?

To Start I am a Complete Newbe to Crystal Reports. I have taken over a project originally written in VS2003 asp.net using SQL Server 2005 and older version of Crytal Reports. I have moved project to VS2010 and Cryatal Reports 10 still using SQL Server 2005. Have multiple reports (14 to be exact) that display data currently being pulled from database suing a dataset, each report has from 4 to 14 Sections. I have modified database table with two new fields. Field1 contains string data with full path to a scanned document (pdf or jpeg). Field2 holds a byte array of the actual image of the scanned document. I have tested the database and it does infact contain the byte array and can display the image via VB.net code. I can make the report display the scanned image using ole object.
Now my real question: I need to add a new Section and it should display either the byte array of the scanned image or the actual scanned image (pdf or jpeg) . How can I have it do either of these options via code dynamicly while application is running?

First; only CRVS2010 is supported on VS2010. You can download CRVS2010 from here;
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Developer Help files are here:

SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip
To add the images, you have a number of options re. how to. You even have two SDKs that y ou can use (RAS and CR).
Perhaps the best place to start is with KB [1296803 - How to add an image to a report using the Crystal Reports .NET InProc RAS SDK|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%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233393336333833303333%7D.do].

Ole objects,background and open dataset

Hi,
I want to read ms access files on background using ole objects. Is it possible to apply open dataset operation for mdb files? As known, text files can be get into application server using open dataset. But I need to get mdb file to application server.
On the other way I can simulate my problem as, is it possible to read excel files(for example) using <b>ole object</b> in background? If I can get an aswer, maybe I can simulate it as reading mdb files.
Thanks.

OPEN DATASET is meant for the flat text files, you won't be able to open an mdb file with it. Once I've tried using OLE objects to obtain the file modification date and, even though it worked great in foreground, it didn't work in the background mode.

Updating or Modifying using OLE

Hi experts,
        I have a requirement where i need to modify the existing word/excel template with some values. I know this can be done by uploading, modifying and then downloading the document. But i want to know how to achieve this using OLE concepts ?
Regards,
Vijayalakshmi

HI,
another question,
will the template be available from SAP DMS, or will it be on presentation/application server?
If it is in SAP DMS, then using CVAPI_DOC_VIEW you can create a replica of it in the SAP working directory, use OLE objects to read/update values in the cell and SAVE it as a new copy ata given location.
If the file is on the presentation server then you can make a copy of it in SAp working directory, again make use of SAP OLE objects to read/update values in the cell and SAVE it as a new copy ata given location.
Sample code
* START THE EXCEL APPLICATION
CREATE OBJECT excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'WORKBOOKS' = workbooks.
SET PROPERTY OF excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
CALL METHOD OF workbooks 'OPEN' EXPORTING
            #1 = filep.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Worksheets' = sheet
   EXPORTING #1 = 1.
CALL METHOD OF sheet 'Activate'.
* FREE OBJECT sheet.
* Fill the requried cells
CALL METHOD OF excel 'CELLS' = cells EXPORTING #1 = 1 #2 = 31.
SET PROPERTY OF cells 'VALUE' = l_sign_path.
FREE OBJECT cells.
GET PROPERTY OF excel 'ACTIVESHEET' = sheet.
CALL METHOD OF sheet 'SAVEAS' EXPORTING
       #1 = g_file_dest
       #2 = 1.
CALL METHOD OF workbooks 'CLOSE'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'QUIT'.
FREE OBJECT excel.
Hope this helps.

OLE Objects - Visio drawings?

Post Author: sarmour
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I've managed to get a bitmap image in my report by inserting an OLE object, and then in the Format Editor, under the Picture tab, I've entered a formula for the Graphic location. The formula is simply: + '\' +
What I really want to do is get a Visio drawing inserted in my report by pointing to the file location in a similar manner -- is this possible?
Thanks.

OLE Objects - Can I open a browser object within my forms

Hi There! My company use forms on the web. Now i'm trying to open, using OLE, a browser object in the same window of the forms so that users can navigate at the same time that they use the forms without changing the window/application. Has any one tried this ? Any help,ideas,documents,etc would be great ! Thanks in advance!

Display data on OLE object (form) in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I m using Crystal Reports 2008. We have Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 environment.
I have a crystal report with OLE object embedded in it. The OLE Object is a form on which the database fields and the formula fields are supposed to be displayed. The OLE Object form has multiple lines (rows) and sections. I have a formula field that sometimes brings multiple records and I want to be able to display those records as rows (one below the other) on the same page until all rows on the form are filled. I have 2 problems:
1. When the formula field brings more than 1 record, only one record is displayed on one page and the next record goes and prints on the next page i.e. the records are not being displayed below each other.
2. How do I make sure that the records display on the next page of the report once all empty lines/rows on the OLE object form are filled?
Your replies are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
if I understand correctly, your OLE object is a form and your data needs to display on it.
What you can do is, inserting the OLE object on page header and then in the section expert, click "Underlay the following section".
Note that the structure of Crystal report is RH, PH, GH, Details.
So, if you insert OLE object in Page Header (PH) and you have a group, underlaying the OLE means displaying the object underlay Group Header (GH).
So, it is a bit of twisting to do and your OLE object needs to fit well as in A4 (or the paper size you need) consistently.
