I have created a data source connection to an access db by using the wizard in vs2008. I have then used this as a data source for crystal reports. My user would like to put the database on a network and reference it there. Is there a way to set a new path for this data source during runtime?

Means when the application starts it will ask for the database path....the database will already be created in some or the other folder....
The path for database is stored in one text file....
It is an access database....
While creating crystal report I had created the report using the database....but that became static...and the report is not able to fetch the records since it is not getting the database
Now I want that while the application runs....a connection should be set up to the dyanamic database path and the report should be viewed....

View 2 RepliesI have Visual Studio 2010 installed on a 64-bit OS with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (obviously 64-bit edition as well). When I installed the runtime, their installation notes stated that if you develop 32-bit applications, you need install the 32-bit runtime, which I did. Testing the application and all is well.
However, this application is going to be distributed as x86 and x64. Now I have not yet converted my project to 64-bit, but should I now install the 64-bit runtime? How is this going to affect my 32-bit installation and report designs?
Secondly, when I distribute my application to the end-user, will they also be required to install the Crystal Reports runtime? Also according to their installation type (32-bit/64-bit)?
Lastly, I want to convert my project from x86 to x64. I understand you set this option by Build > Configuration Manager > (project) x64. Is it ok if I duplicate the entire project folder contents and setting only the duplicate project as x64?
I have some Crystal Reports connecting to a Sql Server db that I would like to detect whether the connection is trusted or whether I need to supply the log on info (reports are not supplied by me so I can't control the connect method). If I just blindly supply login credentials, it won't connect if it is a trusted connection.The following does not work:
oRpt = oCR.OpenReport("C:MyReport.rpt")
if oRpt.Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties.Item("Integrated Security") = True then
'trusted connection[code]....
It gives the following error:Operator '=' is not defined for type 'IConnectionProperty' and type 'Boolean'.
I cannot find how create a construct in vb.net for IConnectionProperty. I can't find any documents from Crystal that explain it.I am using Crystal Reports XI - Developer
I have the following Query:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Muffins
WHERE OvenLoadId IN (
SELECT OvenLoadId
[code]....
The idea of the query is that I want to specify an OrderId, and I want all Oven Loads that have items from that order in them, as well as ALL OTHER ITEMS in those loads, even though they could be from other orders.The query works as expected, but I'm not able to use it for my Crystal Report I've written it for.I have put this query into a User Defined Function, however I'm unable to use a call to that function as a table source in my Crystal Report. I am using Visual Studio 2003 (I know it is old, the client refuses to upgrade).
I 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 am trying to design a report where one filed can be multiple lines and the other related field should be located below (See attached)
address may be 1 one or more lines, city state zip should be located just below.
I already have the field set to can grow, however the spacing is the issue. How do I make the spacing adjust at runtime depending on the number of lines in the field. I can space it to say 3 lines, but if the address filed is only 1 line it leaves a 3 line gap.
Currently I'm working on a piece of code that involves using the Crystal Reports Viewer to export .RPT files to PDF. My problem is that the code works on literally everything except the website I'm planning to eventually put it on.
When placed on the website it throws back the error "Failed to open the connection." which I believe is connected to the SQL Server connection that's formed in order to read data for the report itself.
The code itself is solid and works when used in a separate console application I built to test it whether said code is run on my local machine or on the server itself. It even runs when I test the website in Visual Studio's virtual host.
I've narrowed it down to being some sort of permissions issue, but I am not knowledgeable enough in the various permissions settings to figure out which ones specifically apply to this situation. It's worth mentioning that other pages on the website are directly connecting to the same database, but they are doing so directly through Linq instead of going through the Crystal Report Viewer.
So does anybody know which settings I need to modify in order to fix the connection error.An added note: One of the other suggestions is to make sure there's an ODBC DNS in place that matches the one being used by the code. I have created such a DNS already.
I�m converting some Crystal reporting functions from VB 6.0 to VB .Net 2008, have reports up and running, and I�m not quite sure how to approach one aspect. The issue I have is most of the Crystal reports connect to a database and run a stored procedure. The connection properties are set up in the report usually pointing at the development region. At run time I need to be pointing to either development, user acceptance, or production. I know what environment I�m in from a configuration file but don�t know how to go about telling Crystal what environment and stored procedure to point at. In VB 6.0 it was:
CR1.Connect = "DSN=" & A.ReportServer & ";<<Use Integrated Security>>;DSQ=" & A.ReportManhattanDB
Where A.ReportServer and A.ReportManhattanDB contain the connection poperties. The stored procedure is passed via:

View 2 RepliesI am studying crystal report with visual studio 2008. I knew OLEDB, ADO.Net And ADO connections etc. But whatever connection that we must assign data sources. I want to non-configured and assign data sources as like data-grid. In the data-grid, we can configure data field name and generate data assignation in runtime. Can I do this for report or not. If I can this, tell me how can I do this.

View 1 RepliesCrystal Reports not showing after dynamic data insert.
View 4 RepliesI 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?
I'm working with Crystal Reports in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.I have a List(Of Stuff) that I've sorted according to one of the object's members.I've verified in the debugger that the list is sorted correctly.When I define my list as the data source, as in
rptDetails.Subreports.Item("rptSubReport").SetDataSource(theListOfStuff)
and view the report, the list is reversed.So, looking for a workaround, I said, "OK, I'll sort the list backwards before binding it."The list still appeared backwards in the report.So something's happening, and I think it's within the report definition, because I don't know where else the sort order could be changed
If it is possible can I please have a few pointers use Crystal Reports XI with .Net 2008 Express?
View 2 RepliesI can create a program or web page that can display crystal reports. I have searched and searched with google but am still none the wiser. I foolishly assumed that there would just be some .NET SDK on the Crystal Reports website, and there isnt... there is a lot of talk about it, but no download link or anything.They are using Crystal 8.5 - does anyone have a clue how I can even get started with this? Will there be an SDK on the Crystal CD or something?
