Our application is using Crystal XI and VB6. When our users run reports, they can select to have the report go directly to the printer. Recently, we've run into a problem where the report would not go to the printer at all. Investigation showed I had set the report page setup in design mode...

Thanks, lbass, I was using that feature, but I can't get the report to show the document linked by a formula. The OLE object looks at a certain location, but if the location is changeable, I can't link without using a formula. Any ideas? Thanks, Meryl

Hi! I have a report that is able to insert an image, and then create a formula to link to a data element, in order to have the picture ( company logo) be completely dynamic. This works great. I now want to be able to do the same thing with a word document insert. I'd like to link to a word...

Thanks, RiverGuy, for a quick reply. I think you are showing me how I can code this at run-time, but my question is how does the toolstrip itself handle the user deciding to remove a button off the toolstrip, i.e., customizing what is on it. When you are using Microsoft Word, you can add or...

I am writing an app in VB.net using Visual Studio 2008. I need a toolstrip with buttons that the user can add/remove or move. I expected the Visual Studio toolstrip to behave like the toolstrips in Microsoft products, e'g', Visual Studio, Outlook, etc., which allow the user to edit which...

Thanks, Alex. How would I do this using a 'Local resource" instead of an imported one? Thanks again! Meryl

I am using a version of a binding navigator that we had to modify to do some additional tasks. When the Edit button is pressed, it changes to an undo button. I would like to have the button be set to an image for Edit and for Undo in the code. instead of...

I have a customer using another business application which uses Crystal 8.5. They have installed my VB application which includes the Crystal 11 run-time dlls and report viewer. This customer is reporting an error now when trying to run reports in the other application. Could this be a...

Christiaan , Thanks for your reply. I tried the copy and paste, but as soon as I try to open the copied form, I get a whole set of error messages, starting and ending with these: Failed to parse method 'InitializeComponent'. The parser reported the following error 'Error HRESULT E_FAIL has...

I need to create many forms that will have similar fields. each form being connected to a different data source. For example: Form A is connected to database table A which has Code, Name, Description and Note Form B is connected to database table B which has Code, Name, Description, Note and...

I have recently upgraded to Crystal XI from Crystal 9. In CR 9, I was using cviewImage and cviewText to embed dynamic images and rtf files into my reports. I was able, in CR XI, to replace cviewImage with Crystal's own functionality, true dynamically linked ole bitmapped images, using a passed...

Madawc, I have set datasource location successfully many times if the directory of the ttx file changes and the name of the file stays the same, but not if I point to a different file name. If I make a copy of the SAME ttx file, and use set data source location to that file, I get this error...

Every time I have tried (in Crystal 9) to change a data sourve location to a different ttx (field definition) file, even with the same field names, I have lost all my data, causing my field positions to vanish, and formulas and section formatting to be invalid. Am I doing something wrong? Are...

Yes, it may be the right way to go, but when dealing with complex reports, it seems like a complete re-write. Is there any way to change your data source without having to re-position every field, change every formula and running total, and all section formatting rules? I've never foung the...

I currently have over 200 reports written in Crystal 9 launched from an application written in Visual Basic 6. These reports use one or more recordsets at run time, but were created using various ttx files. The underlying database is SQL, but none of my reports have ever gone to the database...

I am getting a numeric data element that represents a quantity and a count. Example: 550.2 is really a quantity of 550 and a count of 2 3300.12 is really a quantity of 3300 and a count of 12. I need a formula that separates the quantity from the count and puts them into different...

Using Crystal 9 from a VB 6 program, we have seen that sometimes a report which shows up with color on the monitor and is then sent to a color printer prints in black and white. The default settings on the color printer are to print in color, but the report ignores that setting. Has anyone...

I have a customer with pre-printed 6x9 postcards, I need to print from Crystal 9 onto his postcards, to add customer info from the database. I've tried a variety of combinations - defining my paper size as 6x9, defining his printer paper as 6x9, using landscape and portrait. Whatever we try...

Using Crystal 9. I need to format group summaries based on previous group summaries. I have sales records which I am grouping first by customer, then by year. To sum this up, I need to highlight sums that are zero at the year-group level based on information about a previous year-group...

Hi! I'm using Crystal XI within a VB6 application, using an ActiveX Report Viewer. The reports are all passed recordsets that have been defined at design time using ttx files. I have noticed that some of the reports render very slowly in the report viewer. I have some very complex reports...
