Who do i speak to about an issue with shockwave. it is running my cpu at 100%. when i play Zynga games on FB. don't remember giving permission for storage or cloud.

a couple of weeks ago i noticed a real slowdown when playing Zynga games on FB. opened task manager (XP) and saw plugin-container.exe running at 400,000+ k. ran search thru windows and found plugin-container for mozzila. checked and updated all plugins but issue persists. disabled each plugin seperately while playing, with task manager open and disabling shockwave was the only one that had effect on plugin running. unfortunately this also crashed the game. know its not your plugin but any advice or directions would be appreciated. ( my husband's solution is the simplest of course but i really enjoy my games!) Thanks for your time.

Issue with photos in iMovie - looks normal in timeline but won't play

I'm having an issue with importing photos into iMovie. I've done it many a time without trouble but suddenly, when I really need it...ahh!
The problem is with a video I've already exported once—I'm not sure if that's related. I created a slide in Powerpoint, made it into a jpg, then dragged it into my timeline (also something I've done before without issue). It looks totally normal in the timeline, but when I play the video it shows a still from the previous clip instead of my photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Gah. This is where I'm at...I'm using the code from above and
my mp3 sound file is ID'd in the linkage properties as monkey7.mp3
and it's still not working.
What buttons should be checked in the Linkage properties? If
my id is monkey7.mp3 and I check the Export for ActionScript
button, my sound file plays multiple times and it still won't stop.
If I do the same thing but ID it as "monkey7.mp3", it plays
correctly but won't stop.
I don't know if this matters but my mc where my sound file is
located is one frame. Is that correct?
I'm sure the code is correct but I'm missing something and I
can't figure it out!

My iPad Air will not recognize my newest Apple ID e-mail address for cloud access. It continually reverts back to an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to and don't remember the PW for. How can I fix this?

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks

Crash issues with elements organizer while running Apple OS 10.9 Mavericks. Crashes then ask if you want to reopen or not. Also when you are trying to manuver the page with your mouse things go crazy from a full page edit back to viewing all photos on the site and skipping around from picture to picture. Unsusable as it is today!

It is very critical to delete all preferences when you do a major OS X upgrade. You need to go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything pertaining to PSE. To see that library in 10.9, open a finder window, click your user account in the list on the left (the little house with your name), and then click the gear wheel at the top of the window and choose View Options. At the bottom of the list of checkboxes you'll see Library. Turn it on and then you can easily find the preferences folder.

Issues with itunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (32 Bit) When Trying to sync iphone 4S or older

I see a lot of people out there, specifically windows OS owners (xp all the way to 7), having issues with iTunes 10.5. Here are the following issues I've encountered (some may only have one problem, others my have a combo pack of problems).
1. iphone 4S or older won't sync or backup
2. iTunes store won't open
The issue I found after using the diagnostics tool in iTunes (which is useless in identify scripting issues or major communication issues), reviewing the windows event log, and reinstalling all apple software and components, was the fact that my spyware and anti virus software was causing a communication error within apple's software. I use spyware doctor with anti virus. I had to uninstall spyware doctor in order for iTunes 10.5 to work. After that, everything worked well and I did a clean install of spyware doctor.
If the issue still persists, you might have to reset your internet protocol (TCP/IP). You have to run a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following: netsh winsock reset
Visit this Microsoft link for more info about resetting your IP: support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
Finally words: Apple, like all other software companies, continually encounter software glitches and issues because they don't test products correctly before bringing them to market- this has been a reoccurring theme for the last 2-3 years. The most important aspect of using any software should be functionality, efficiency, ease of use, and above all "A Positive End User Experience." Wasn't that Steve Job's mantra? We can all hope that Apple embraces his philosophy and vision for the many years to come. This, above all, is not a great start for Apple moving forward without their true inspirational leader.

Here is what worked for me for both 10.5 and 10.5.1 after hours of frustration with Itunes stopping and shutting down in the middle of a sync or tranferring Apps downloaded on my Ipad2 or Iphone 4:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1. hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
2. when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
3. you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled." [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
You could already have your device connected to your computer or do it after opening iTunes in its safe mode.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.
I also disabled Genius in iTunes preferences but I'm not sure if this is one of the issues causing these types of problems.
I hope this works. This may be the workaround for all of us Windows 7 64-bit folks.

Issues with Shockwave 11.5.2.602 / 11.5.6.606 MSI installer

<UPDATE 8/3/09> Nearly all of the issues mentioned below are still present in the MSI installer for 11.5.6.606 - the only one that Adobe have fixed is the one where the MozillaPlugins 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default - this is now created correctly, but all of the other issues remain.
Personally I have given up trying to use this MSI package to deploy Shockwave until Adobe get their act together - instead I am using a wrapper to wrap the Shockwave executable inside an MSI file and deploying it that way, although this is not ideal.
I have created an MST file which will fix the MSI installer for version 11.5.6.606, which I will post to another forum shortly, but I am not planning to keep it updated for future versions as I don't really have the time.
Hi,
I've tried submitting the following via the Adobe Customer Support portal and via the Feature Request/Bug Report form, but the first told me that I needed to 'get in touch with Adobe Enterprise Solutions team for getting help' and that 'to get in touch with them you have to purchase a contract', and the second resulted in a bounced email address saying that '[email protected]' 'does not exist at the organization this message was sent to'.
In short, attempting to contact Adobe to report issues with their installers sucks, and I am posting this here in the vain hope that someone at Adobe might read this message and possibly forward it to the relevant people. Some of the issues have already been reported here on this forum, but some of them are new, and I guess others might be interested in them too.
Hi,
I would like to report some issues with most recent version of the Shockwave installer, available in MSI format from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?k=4E6102EB-DA7C-2795-C744826EFDE2A098&l oc=en_us
This is the installer for version 11.5.2.602, with a digital signature dated 06 November 2009 10:52:21
When downloading this version of the installer in Windows Installer (MSI) format, the following issues manifest themselves, most of which are not a problem when using the Full EXE installer available from the same page.
First of all, when installing the MSI file using Group Policy Software Deployment, if you log on to the computer after the MSI file has been deployed and view a web page that contains Shockwave content, you receive the following errors in the Windows event log:
Event Type: Warning

If you are logged on as an Administrator, then the computer will immediately attempt to 'repair' the Adobe Shockwave Player installation in order to create the missing folder 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Adobe\', which leads to a significant delay in the initialization of the Shockwave content on the web page. If you are logged on as a non-Administrator, the errors will still appear, but the 'repair' operation will fail due to insufficient permissions to create the above folder.
I have done some testing and it seems as if this problem can be easily resolved by removing the code from the installer which tells it to create an empty folder in the 'Application Data' folder called 'Adobe\Shockwave Player 11'. This code seems to be entirely unnecessary, as no files are created inside this folder as part of the installation, and I have removed it successfully from my own copy of the MSI without it causing any issues. I have found some other people who are also experiencing this problem in the following forum post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 8)
and since this 'repair' operation causes all customised registry settings to be reset back to defaults as part of the repair, it would be very helpful if this 'feature' could be removed from future versions.
Secondly, there are a number of registry keys which are created incorrectly by the MSI installer when the above 'repair' operation takes place, which need to be corrected to prevent further issues from occurring:
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1F3CB77D-D339-49e0-B8E4-FECD6D6F8CB8}\LocalServer32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE"
(Please note that there is a double quotation mark at the end of the value, but not at the beginning)
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
According to a forum post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350, post 15), this causes DCOM errors when Shockwave is launched, if the MSI 'repair' has taken place as described above.
The above registry value should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table:
"[INSTALLDIR]Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
so that the MSI installer works the same as the executable one.
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\0\win32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
Also, under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\HELPDIR]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Adobe\SHOCKW~1\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\
Once again, the above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
[SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
[SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000}]', the 'default' value is NOT SET by the MSI by default:
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
Shockwave ActiveX Control
This value should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
Under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\common]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\common\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\common\
Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayer]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\Shockwave 10\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\
Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayerxtras]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
The above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
[SystemFolder]Macromed\common\
[SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\
[SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
The MSI installer does not create '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dcr]', '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dir]', or '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dxr]'
Wherease the executable installer creates all three of these keys and populates them all with the following 'default' value:
"Content Type"="application/x-director"
These keys and values should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
The MSI installer creates a value under the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponets\SwDi r]
However this registry key is obviously misspelt (missing an 'n' in 'OptionalComponets') and should read as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponents\SwD ir]
This key name needs to be changed in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 10)).
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer], the 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default:
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
1152602
This registry value should be set to the correct version in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
Finally, the MSI installer creates a number of registry values under the following path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\Mime Types]
These values are *in addition* to the values created under the following path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\MimeTypes]
(Note there is no space between 'Mime' and 'Types' in the second key path)
The executable installer *only* creates registry keys under the 'MimeTypes' key, and it seems as if this is the correct formatting for the key (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 11)).
The unnecessary 'Mime Types' registry keys and values should be removed from the installer's Registry table to avoid any potential issues.
I am sorry that this is such a long list, but it seems as if a number of things have been changed in the transition from 11.5.1.601 to 11.5.2.602, and it would be very helpful if these changes could be put back to how they were before, so that the MSI and the executable installers function in the same way as much as possible.
Message was edited by Borgquite - added 11.5.6.606 update

Have posted an updated version of the MST to my webspace here:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/minkus/shockwave/shockwave115606mst2.zip
This new version fixes the following issues (changes to this version in bold):
MsiInstaller repair & errors on first run as non-admin (removes 'AppData' directory entries)
DCOM errors once Shockwave is installed (adds double quotes to the beginnning of LocalServer32 value)
Incorrect TypeLib paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Default CLSID description value missing (set to 'Shockwave ActiveX Control', as per the executable installer)
Incorrect Shockwave 10 paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Misspelt 'OptionalComponets' registry key (renamed to 'OptionalComponents')
Missing .dcr, .dir, .dxr Content Type registry values (included in the executable installer)
Fixed incorrect AppID registry key (set to use installer's [VERSION] variable)
Removed 'Launch SWDNLD.exe' shortcut created in Programs subfolder (people don't want this - see here)
I have tested this on my network and it all seems to work fine. Unfortunately my original plan to use the executable installer didn't work out as it does not include the Shockwave 10 compatibility components described here and here, so it looks like I'll have to keep this MST file up to date with the latest versions until Adobe fix the problems themselves...
If you want to see the changes that I have made, load up Adobe's 11.5.6.606 MSI file in Orca, then use Transform / Apply Transform to apply the MST, and look for the entries in green.
Please post any feedback to this thread, and I will try to respond if I can help!

Odd Run As issue with Windows 8.1 - Run As domain administrator not working

I'm having an odd issue on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I log in with my standard account, but want to open things like group policy management with my special separate domain admin account. so I press shift, right click, run as a different user - fill in my username
and password and get an access denied message. I verified I was using the right account info, verified UAC was turned off. I can run it as my non-domain admin account but of course I don't have access to everything. In the event viewer, I'm getting these messages:
Application log:
svchost (1648) SRUJet: An attempt to open the file "C:\Windows\system32\SRU\SRU.log" for read / write access failed with system error 5 (0x00000005): "Access is denied. ". The open file operation will fail with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8).
This and a few other similar messages show up in the application log, over and over again.
Also the Application log has a couple of these, showing up only when I try to open as the domain admin account:
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards. No user action is required.
DETAIL -
1 user registry handles leaked from \Registry\User\S-1-5-21-1856965257-1504725669-3833077565-143885_Classes:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a complete loss.
As a quick edit - I also am not out of space on the hard drive, I have many gigs on my partition left.

Hi,
This issue may occur if you do not have the appropriate permissions assigned to the folder.
Please make sure you have the sufficient permission to access the folder:
logon with that domain admin account to check if you could access that file.
If it works fine, logon with that domain standard user account do it again.
In addition, why didn't you run as administrator directly(don't use
Run as different user)?

Issue with cscript/wscript breaking outside the AppV 5 bubble when run inside the bubble.

I'm working on sequencing an application (EPIC) and they have a debugging script that runs that executes their application and their debugging application immediately afterwards with some parameters. When I try running this script inside the AppV 5
bubble from a command prompt it fails. I've found the issue appears to be that cscript and wscript are looking for the registry values it requires
outside the bubble. I've shortened their script and the registry key required to minimize the noise of this problem. The VBS script is:
'========================================================
Dim sEpicInstall, oCtx, oFSO, oReg, oLocator, oServices, oInstallDrive
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Set oCtx = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemNamedValueSet")
Call oCtx.Add("__ProviderArchitecture", 32)
Call oCtx.Add("__RequiredArchitecture", TRUE)
Set oLocator = CreateObject("Wbemscripting.SWbemLocator")
Set oServices = oLocator.ConnectServer(".","root\default", , , , , , oCtx)
Set oReg = oServices.Get("StdRegProv")
Call oReg.GetStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Epic Systems Corporation\Install", "79", sEpicInstall)
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oInstallDrive = oFSO.GetDrive(oFSO.GetDriveName(sEpicInstall))
'===========================================================
The registry key that exists inside the bubble looks like so:
===========================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Epic Systems Corporation\Install]
"79"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Epic\\v7.9"
===========================================================
if run inside the bubble this is the result I get:
If I add the registry key to the system itself and execute the command outside the bubble it works without issue:
So... I'm assuming this is a bug in AppV 5? Is there a reason why cscript/wscript can break outside the environment or is there a reason why this script is able to do so?

You should probably start a new thread for this as it's a new question, and a different problem than the original post.
I have not tried the above, but have you made sure IE is closed before running it? If IE is already running outside of the bubble when you run the script, it could use the existing IE process rather than create a new one inside the bubble.
As far as I know, .vbs files should run inside the bubble unlike cmd/bat files when targeted directly by the shortcut. But it is worth trying modifying the shortcut to point to wscript.exe with the script supplied as a parameter, just to rule it out.
Another option to look into is to target your shortcut to iexplore.exe directly, and apply the changes to hide the toolbar and status bar either via additional command line parameters, or via registry configuration if this is possible.

HT3209 Who can I speak to about purchases?

My Son purchase a game without my permission for $12.99 I need to know what can I do to get that credit back to my account?

To prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPad, and turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
Since Apple provides such protections, they're reluctant at best to provide refunds for inadvertent purchases, and almost certainly will not do so twice.

About Installaton issues with plug-in - OS10.5.2

Hi all,
I can't install the plug in for my E65 on my macbook, running 10.5.2 - latest update as per feb the 19th.
iSync is as well up to date.
The icon of my HDD is red crossed checked. And I receive a message informing me that ' Imust update iSync'.
Any help ?

Hi Jeff Shenk;
Select the table.
Select Move With Text under Arrange.
Select Inline With Text under Text Wrap.
Also do the following:
Go to View > Show Invisibles (Shift+Command+I).
This will display Paragraph marks (¶) at the end of each paragraph.
Delete the paragraph mark (¶) that is at the end of the paragraph before the table, i.e. just between the table and the paragraph.
This will bring the table surely just beneath the paragraph (text), I suppose.
Regards,

Issues with changing connection at run-time

Post Author: dmazourick
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Weu2019ve tried a lot of different ways to resolve this issue, but are getting every time the different result.
Probably someone deal with that issue before and know how to correctly resolve it.
Weu2019re using Crystal Reports Runtime Components X+ (X, XI, XI R2) u2013 all of them has this issue.
We need client application to connect to multiple data sources u2013 user chooses report, chooses data source and we show the report for specified data source.
The data sources are tables or stored procedures stored in different databases on different servers.
For sure, every data source for a single report has the same structure, but that doesnu2019t matter.
The issue is: when the name of the database on one server is the same as the name of database on second server, the connection caching occurs.
How we can check that:
1.       Weu2019re running report for Server1:<DBN> - report shows data from Server1.
2.       Weu2019re opening second report for Server2:<DBN> - report shows data from Server1.
3.       Weu2019re closing application and run 1-2 in opposite order, now both reports show data from Server2.
Weu2019ve tried different approaches u2013 below is a code sample that opens the report for specific connection.
Juts to be sure that no one will ask u2013 u201CAre you sure youu2019re passing the correct connection info etc.u201D. Yes! We are sure because weu2019re trying to fix this issue for a long time and tried a lot of different approaches and still cannot find the right solution.
The code looks like below. This is VB6 code, but also the same situation was tried on VC++ 6.0
Weu2019re not looking into CR.NET solution for now.

    Dim app As New CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim report As CRAXDRT.report
    Dim database As CRAXDRT.database
    Dim table As CRAXDRT.DatabaseTable
    Dim par As CRAXDRT.ParameterFieldDefinition
    Set report = app.OpenReport("D:\TestReport_X.rpt")
    report.database.LogOnServer "pdssql.dll", Server, DB, UID, PWD
    Set table = report.database.Tables(1)
    table.SetLogOnInfo Server, DB, UID, PWD
    table.Location = table.Name
    report.database.Verify
    viewer.ReportSource = report
    viewer.ViewReport
end sub
=================================================
The result of above code is the following:
1.       If we will pass the same viewer and will use different Server u2013 the report will be displayed correctly
2.       If we will pass different viewers and will use different Server u2013 the reports will contain same data
The result of above code also depends from the version of Crystal Reports the report was designed in:
1.       For Report designed in 8.5 u2013 passing of the same viewer with same connection info second time will refresh report
2.       For Report designed in X, XI, XI R2 u2013 no refresh
Also, a slight modification of the above code helps for reports designed in XI to work properly, but not for reports designed in X and 8.5:
1.       Before calling LogonServer, make the following: DB = DB & u201C;u201D & Int(rnd()*32767)
That makes report designed in XI to display properly in different viewers, but doesnu2019t have any impact to X and no any impact to 8.5
Weu2019re really looking for any help in this question

I am having similar problems and some successes.
I have 70+ reports and now suddenly I want to point them at two different servers, but at databases with the same name like you talked about.
I first just tried the following:
#1. Load report:
Dim myReport As New ReportDocument
myReport.Load(filename)
#2. Pass in parameter values
''Get the collection of parameters from the report
Dim crParameterFieldDefinitions As ParameterFieldDefinitions = r.DataDefinition.ParameterFields
''Access the specified parameter from the collection
Dim crParameter1 As ParameterFieldDefinition = crParameterFieldDefinitions.Item(ParamName)
''Get the current values from the parameter field. At this point
''there are zero values set.
'crParameter1Values = crParameter1.CurrentValues
''Set the current values for the parameter field
Dim crDiscrete1Value As New ParameterDiscreteValue
If crParameter1.ValueType = FieldValueType.DateField Or crParameter1.ValueType = FieldValueType.DateTimeField Then
If ParamValue Is System.DBNull.Value Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = CDate("1/1/1900")
ElseIf ParamValue Is Nothing Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = CDate("1/1/1900")
Else
crDiscrete1Value.Value = ParamValue
End If
ElseIf crParameter1.ValueType = FieldValueType.StringField Then
If ParamValue Is Nothing Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = ""
Else
crDiscrete1Value.Value = ParamValue
End If
ElseIf crParameter1.ValueType = FieldValueType.BooleanField Then
If ParamValue Is Nothing Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = False
ElseIf ParamValue.ToString.ToUpper = "TRUE" Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = True
Else
crDiscrete1Value.Value = False
End If
ElseIf crParameter1.ValueType = FieldValueType.NumberField Then
If ParamValue Is Nothing Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = 0
Else
crDiscrete1Value.Value = ParamValue
End If
Else
If ParamValue Is System.DBNull.Value Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = Nothing
ElseIf ParamValue Is Nothing Then
crDiscrete1Value.Value = Nothing
Else
crDiscrete1Value.Value = ParamValue
End If
End If
''Add the first current value for the parameter field
Dim crParameter1Values As New ParameterValues
crParameter1Values.Add(crDiscrete1Value)
''All current parameter values must be applied for the parameter field.
crParameter1.ApplyCurrentValues(crParameter1Values)
#3 Set "Table Log in info" (most of my reports using stored procedures, but I guess I still needed this step).
Dim CrTables As Tables = r.Database.Tables
Dim CrTable As Table
Dim crtableLogoninfos As New TableLogOnInfos()
Dim crtableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = connectionParser.GetServerName(connectionString)
.DatabaseName = connectionParser.GetDatabaseName(connectionString)
If connectionParser.DoesUseIntegratedSecurity(connectionString) = True Then
.IntegratedSecurity = True
Else
.UserID = connectionParser.GetServerUserName(connectionString)
.Password = connectionParser.GetServerPassword(connectionString)
.IntegratedSecurity = False
End If
End With
For Each CrTable In CrTables
crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
If InStr(CrTable.Location, ".dbo.") = 0 Then
CrTable.Location = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + ".dbo." + CrTable.Location
End If
Next
If r.Subreports.Count > 0 Then
Dim crSections As Sections
Dim crSection As Section
Dim crReportObjects As ReportObjects
Dim crReportObject As ReportObject
Dim crSubreportObject As SubreportObject
Dim crDatabase As Database
Dim subRepDoc As New ReportDocument()
'SUBREPORTS
'Set the sections collection with report sections
crSections = r.ReportDefinition.Sections
'Loop through each section and find all the report objects
'Loop through all the report objects to find all subreport objects, then set the
'logoninfo to the subreport
For Each crSection In crSections
crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects
For Each crReportObject In crReportObjects
If crReportObject.Kind = ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
'If you find a subreport, typecast the reportobject to a subreport object
crSubreportObject = CType(crReportObject, SubreportObject)
'Open the subreport
subRepDoc = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName)
crDatabase = subRepDoc.Database
CrTables = crDatabase.Tables
'Loop through each table and set the connection info
'Pass the connection info to the logoninfo object then apply the
'logoninfo to the subreport
For Each CrTable In CrTables
crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
If InStr(CrTable.Location, ".dbo.") = 0 Then
CrTable.Location = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + ".dbo." + CrTable.Location
End If
Next
End If
Next

#4 go get the data
crv.ReportSource = myReport
crv.Refresh()
#5 Call export to disk function.
This was not changing server - did not realize it was a caching problem as you suggested. That makes sense. So anyway, then of course I threw a verify database statement on there, before I get the data. Now looks like this:
#1 Load Report
#2. Pass in parameter values (dummy values that will generate schema of table without having to actually run long running procedures, i.e. select (cast 1 as int) as somefield1, cast(2.0 as numeric(10,0)) as somefield2
#3 Set "Table Log in info"
#3b Verify the database which seems to be a necessity:
myReport.VerifyDatabase()
#3c Re-populate the report with real parameter values, same as #2 but this time with the ones that will generate the real data
#4 go get the data
#5 Call export to disk function.
This does work, some of the time. When the datasource underlying report are tables, it works. I made a dummy crystal report with lots of different types of params (stored procedure underlying database) - this also worked!
Unfortunately, when I run this against the majority of my reports, I get this stupid "invalid mapping type value", for which I have not been able to resolve yet.
I also tried putting a myreport.SetDatabaseLogon("","") -- what would this do, clear it out? (saw this referenced somewhere).
Then I tried putting the real connection info in there as well ...
myReport.SetDatabaseLogon(uid, pwd, serverName, DBname)
I put this setdatabase thing before I called verifydatabase, which is where the process is bombing out and giving me invalid mapping type for the reports that do not run.
At this point I am still working on solution. I have tried creating dummy report that used same parameter types as a report that was failing and voila - the dummy report worked. Anyway, let me know if you get your problem fixed and I will do the same. Looks like you are using a different method that I didn't notice "LogOnServer"

Is anyone having issues with their phones deleting their notes randomly? Also when you delete an email, you have to delete up to 5 times sometimes before it actually deletes from your phone?

I can make a note and It deletes it, sometimes a week later sometimes 3-5 weeks later. BUT there's 1 note I've had for about 9 months and it's still there. I've had it since before the new iOS 7 system... And with the emails I can delete then and then they pop back up, delete again and there they are again. But it's not all the time. Just whenever it feels like it. And my phone isn't old, I've only had it about 3 months now. Is anyone else having these issues? They're driving me nuts!

Give it a go
Hold the cmd key (next to the spacebar) & try clicking a few messages. Command key looks a bit like a cloverleaf.
There are other shortcut keys as I mentioned before just try a few key combinations & you'll get the hang of it.
Once the messages are selected you can either drag them into a Mailbox or use the menus to perform operations like 'Mark as read' or 'Mark as junk' etc.
You may want to show the mailbox list (if it is hidden). This is in the 'View menu > Show Mailbox list'. It should make it easier to move the messages around.
The shift key is the one that lets you select a range, just select the starting message, then hold shift & select the end message.
I think it is harder to explain in words, so try it out you'll get to grips with it.
Good luck.

Who do i speak to about an issue with shockwave. it is running my cpu at 100%. when i play Zynga games on FB. don't remember giving permission for storage or cloud.
