    Can't re-position the TOTAL data label in a stacked bar chart

    In stacked bar charts, I sometimes re-position the data-labels by clicking and dragging them. In V8 all is well. In version 9, I can re-position the totals for the grouping categories, but I cannot re-position the TOTAL, which is on top of the bar. Any idea what's going on?

    Moving from Crystal 8.0 to 9.0

    Ido, Around 50 altogether, but I believe a 5-concurrent license will suffice for now. I am currently in the process of importing the WCS logs from the past 2 years to analyze how many users are hitting the server. Paul

    Web Component Server 8.0 updates?

    Does anyone know if any hot fixes or updates exist for the Crystal Reports Web Component Server version 8.0? On the support site I only found hot fixes for Crystal Enterprise 8.0 Web Component Server. Are they the same? The reason is with some of my more complex reports, especially reports...

    Running Query on AS400 Table

    I'm not sure how you open or query your tables, but once you do, here is the sql I use to do something very similar, which works well: INSERT INTO <destination_table_name> SELECT * FROM <source_table_name> WHERE <source_table_name>.fieldname not in(select <destination_table_name>.fieldname...

    DTS Transformation-Binging over empty fields from a text file

    I am attempting, through a DTS transformation, to bring delimited data from a text file into a SQL Server database. My problem is that I cannot bring &quot;empty&quot; fields over without getting the following error: Insert error, column 2('tcit',DBTYPE_STR),status 10: Integrity violation...

    DTS Transformation-CDATE function

    Max and Al, Thanks for all your help, I am now able to bring over the dates. One more issue, however. In the text file, sometimes the date value is 00000000, and the DateSerial function is bringing them over as 11/30/99. Any idea why, or how to retain the 0 value? Paul Prevost

    DTS Transformation-CDATE function

    OK, Here is what I've found out so far. The Cdate function seems to work when the text is in the following format(s): 09/24/2001 or 09-24-2001, but does not work when it just straight text 09242001 My next question becomes: In the transformation script, how do I convert the string...

    DTS Transformation-CDATE function

    Actually, acting on your suggestion, I just cut the text file down to 20-30 rows (from a few thousand), and the package executed successfully, so it looks like it may be a problem with the data at some point in the file. I will research more, thanks for your help!

    DTS Transformation-CDATE function

    No, No matter what I try, I receive the same error. (Type Mismatch: 'CDATE') From my understanding, the CDATE function should take a text string from a source file and convert it into the proper OLE DB date format. The following is true for my scenario: 1. The source date is text and 8...

    Job execution - setting a time limit.

    I have a job that runs for about 1.5 hrs and usually completes successfully. Occasionaly, however, it fails, and sometimes, it just hangs and keeps executing endlessly until I stop it manually. My question is: Is there any way to set a time limit on how long a job can run, and then it will...

    Can't use formula field in chart

    Ken, After clicking everywhere, I believe you are correct. I have, however, found a workaround. The database I am using to report from is my own, so I just did this: 1. Exported the summarized values to a new table in my database on SQL Server, which I can refresh periodically...

    I have a formula field I want to use as the value in a line chart, but when I try to use it the values come up as all zeros. The formula field is in a group footer and is a division calculation based on 2 running totals, also in the same group footer. Formula Field =...
