I've been working on a report and it has 2 subreports, one of them can outgrow the region destinated for it (on a preprinted paper), and I want to break the subreport on a new page of the main report (with page header and page footer).

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and writing in VB.NET.I have a subreport in a Crystal Reports report consisting of a list of log entries. Sometimes the list of log entries is long enough that it would extend onto the next page. What I see happening is that the list appears on the next page, leaving a big blank space at the bottom of the first page.
I've tried unchecking the "Keep Together" boxes in the "Experts" in a number of different places (sections, groups, etc.) but see no change in the output.I'm guessing that this isn't the right way to go, but do you know what is?
I'm using Crystal Reports within VB.NET and Visual Studio 2005.I have a report with several subreports. I'm setting List(Of MainStuff) as the data sources for the main report. I'm setting List(Of SubreportStuff) as the data source for the subreport. Each SubreportStuff has a key which links back to a particular MainStuff, so the report groups each MainStuff item with its related SubreportStuff items. (Or, at the DB level, SubreportStuff items have a foreign key, which is the primary key in MainStuff.)
Below shows the Load function for the dialog, which contains a CrystalReportsViewer. In the Crystal Reports report editor (within VS 2005) I set the subreport link to pull only the related items into that part of the report.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class dlgMyReport
Private rpt As New MyReport
Public theMainList As New List(Of MainStuff)
[code]....
This works fine.Now, though, what I'm needing to do is in essence the same thing, but pull items based on the keys in the subreport items. This would mean having a subreport within a subreport. However, it doesn't appear that I can do this (the option for inserting a subreport is grayed out when I try to insert in something that is already a subreport).

View 2 RepliesI'm designing a program using VS.NET 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008, and I want to give the user the option to set how many groups per page is viewed. I know I can do it using the Group Expert, but is it possible to set it programmatically in VS.NET?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to see the page setup during print preview of crystal reports during run time?
Because there are times that we need to set the top and bottom margin of the report.
I am working on VB.NET(Visual studio 2008)..I completed developing my application and i need to deploy the application. I tried it and faced problems in some areas like adding crystal reports to the setup and deployment. I created a setup file to my application and everything is fine except crystal reports...its showing the error like; An error occurred in crystalDecisions.Reports, crystalEngine threw exception.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a report in VB .NET (using Active Reports) that displays details about a location, and then displays a bunch of images, which are stored in a database. The images are displayed in my main report via a subreport. However, I can't get the images to load. I have two files, the main report (rptMain) and the image subreport (rptSubImages). The sub Detail1_Format in the rptSubImages never gets ran, which is why the images are not appearing, and I can't figure out why! I've included the code below... can anyone pinpoint why my subreport detail section isn't getting called? The rptSubImages report gets initialized, but if I put a stop point inside the detail sub, it never gets caught during debug.

I have a crystal report with a bunch of parameterized fields that are being filled by code and displayed through CRViewer. I need to add a few sections in here to execute a query to return a dataset and display this in the same report. I am not sure if the best way to do this with a subreport. I am trying to add a subreport and then set the datasource of the subreport to my dataset, but I cannot get it to work.
Lets say there is a customers table. I have FirstName LastName as parametirized fields displayed on the form along with address and basic customer information.
I want to place a subreport showing all orders this customer has made on the SAME report. The is an association table with multiple orders possible.
The report is being placed in a class that can be called by a VB.NET app. Therefore I cannot create the dataconnection for the subreport in the UI (or maybe I can and pass params later).
I am successfully populating the parameterized field by doing the following:
Dim myRpt As New RunReport.RunReport
myRpt.Load("myReport.rpt")
'Set Labels
[Code]....
This will be one report I just need to display the subreport section to handle all possible orders.
I created a report [RptContacts] to show the data of all the contact persons in my SQL server database.
The report has a row group on the column [PK_Contact] in the datasource (IQueryable).
An other report [RptCommunications], which will serve as subreport in the main report, shows all the communications we had with each contact person. The datasource (IQueryable) for this report contains the column [FK_Contact] referring to the contact person with whom we had the communication.
I added [RptCommunications] as subreport to [RptContacts]. In de Subreport Properties/General, I indicated both under "Name:" and "Use this report as a subreport:"RptCommunications.
How can I make sure that for every value of [PK_Contact] in the main report [RptContacts], I see the correct records in the subreport [RptCommunications] corresponding with the right contact person. In other words, how can I make sure that for every communication in the subreport, [FK_Contact] = [PK_Contact] in the main report?
tell me wat is the difference between crystal reports created in vb and in vb.net??how to create crystal reports in vb??
View 1 RepliesI am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?
View 1 RepliesI have a very complex multi-page form I am developing in the Crystal Reports which is included in VS2008. There is always 1 Page A. There may be 1 or more page B. There may be 1 or more Page C. Page A has 7 subreports and a header from the main table. Pages B and C hold overflow records that won't fit on Page A.
Page(s) B holds 1 subreport and a header from the main table. Page(s) C holds 3 subreports and a header from the main table.
My problem is the page header on pages B and C does not print except on the first page B or C and I need it to print at the top of each one. (There could be many) Pages B and C are currently subreports but evidently that doesn't work. I have to format the report this way, it's a gov't form. Does anyone know how to get a subreport (which is actually a working report) and which can grow past a single page, to display a page header at the top of each new page?
I'm using Report Viewer(VS 2008) to make a report in VB.net. I add Table with Table Header, Table Detail, and Table Footer. Then insert a Table Group(table1_group1) and add expression =IntRowNumber Nothing-1/10 on that group. I check page breaks at end.
When I load the report its show normal :
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + table footer + page footer
But when I click Print Layout Icon its show an extra page(page 3):
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + page footer
page 3 : page header + table footer + page footer ( this is the error)
I also try to print the report and its print 3 page.

I am preparing crystal reports using vb.net 2008 with ms sql server 2005.everything is showing fine.. except that i want my report to be multiple column... I cant do this using "format multiple column" option because the data is not shown in details section. Actually i need to group the data in data.
e.g: i am preparing a warehouse report to know how much quantity of which products are left, products with 0 (zero) value are not displayed..
I want my reports to be as follows: item1 item_quantity item2 item_quantity item3 item_quantity

I'm using VS 2008 to develop a solution which will report on data mostly contained in SQL Express databases, across two servers. It will be used by up to about 10 XP clients. I am unfamiliar with the Reports Applications. Will I need to buy extra licenses to use a Crystal Reports application? Why are they both included in VS? What is the basic difference between them?

View 1 RepliesI am working on Windows Forms Projects.I am creating a report for customers.The report data is pulled from a "CustomerDetails" table.A field in the table is called "CustPhotoName", this holds a string which relates to an image file.
I Currently have a report set up which runs for a single customer by passing in a customer ID. Then using the passed in ID to populate a Dataset with an ImageRow and then a sub report with the image from the dataset.
I am wanting to set up this report where I can pass in an array of customer IDs and produce the reports (1 page per customer with image (if CustPhotoName has value))
I have created reports using Crystal Reports in my asp.net application(vb). It was fine. But when I run it in another system, the report loading fails. So I modified my code like this.
sub Loadreport()
try
Dim sreport as new ReportDocument
sreport.Load(Server.MapPath("ClientList.rpt"))
[code]....
When the control comes to the line:-
sreport.Load(Server.MapPath("ClientList.rpt"))
it jumps to the catch block showing "Invalid Report path". But initially, the code was not showing any error. I haven't changed the path.
I made a program in VB .net 2008 that has a form in which there is a Crystal Report Viewer object. Here is some code:
[Code]...
1. Some reports show tens and hundreds of thousands or records (they are required to do so, so no work-around is possible), thus the time it takes for the Crystal Report Viewer control to actually show the report is very long. I would like to display like a waiting dialog window WHILE the report is loading its records telling the user to wait for it to load.
2. Another idea would be to show the number of records currently loaded (and continuously updated as the report loads them) from the total number. This is actually shown in my reports when i open them with Crystal Reports 10, but NOT with the Viewer control on the form! How can i make it show this?
Since there doesn't seem to be any way to load old VB6 (ActiveReports) reports in .Net, I need to recreate dozens of reports in .Net. I'd like to do this in the least painful way possible.In VB6, the original authors simply did something like this for every report:
adoConn.ConnectionString = globalConnectionObject.ConnectionString
adoConn.Source = ReportFunctions.GetAllUsers()
GetAllUsers() returns an SQL string which selects a bunch of fields; those fields are then used in the report.Now:How can I do something similar in .Net (either using the built-in Crystal Reports, or the built-in "Microsoft Reporting Technology")?I can't get "Database Expert" to recognize globalConnectionObject (an ADODB.Connection object); and if I fill a dataset and do
report.SetDataSource(dataSet)
It tells me "The report has no tables."How do I populate a Crystal Reports report!? (the connection string/data location is not known at compile time)
I've recently made the switch from the Data Report to Crystal Reports 10. I've rewritten the reports our software uses and they are working fine in a nominal reports location.I have heard that Crystal Reports can be compiled into a single executable file which can be called through vb.net, rather than loading the report from a location.
