Hi Madawc and Charliy I thought I'd fill you in on the solution for printing the tent cards two per page with printing showing right side up on both sides - which was where I started. having formatted the tent cards as described above - one ten card layout only - then changing the page layout...

c'é la vie; thank you Madawc. If in my travels through forums and google, I learn anything more, I'll add it here just so others will know. thanks kim

Hi Madawc thank you for your prompt response. yes, I've successfully used a sql query to retrieve data from my database but in the cr help and the cr xi complete reference - chapter 15 - it says that you can select a stored procedure itself as a datasource. "Crystal Reports treats stored...

hi again crystal reports xi, windows 7 I've figured out a possible way to print the tent cards two-up landscape using a stored procedure as my data source, but when I try to connect to my database, it shows the tables and the views, but the stored procedures are only the system ones and I...

Hi Charliy thanks for your reply. no, I haven't tried setting up a detail A and detail B section; how would that make the section B report on the next record? won't both sections still want to print for the contact in the current record, which is the problem I'm having now? Hi Madawc thanks...

Hi I'm trying to print tent cards - 8½" wide and 5 high - with printing on both sides which means the text on one side has to be rotated 180° from the text on the other side, but CR doesn't do 180°. So, I'm using letter sized paper, with landscape orientation and two sub-reports beside each...

thanks CoSpringsGuy I'll give it a try - but tomorrow, it's well past closing time here EST kim

thanks CoSpringsGuy please excuse my inexperience but I don't know what VPN is or if we use it here - if it's some that is optional to run. I leave my desktop on overnight all the time, I just put it to sleep but I don't recall it undergoing a scheduled reboot. when the problem occurs, if I...

thank you lbass this is a report that I created and stored in a folder in my directory on our server. I've edited the report before and saved it with a new name and edited it again and saved it with no problem. is there a registry entry for such things that may have been changed or something...

hi lbass I apologize for posting in two forums, but Madawc suggested that I start a new thread explaining that it's the Crystal Report course giving the problem (above). I'll not do it again, and thank you, I refer to my other post. kim

crystal reports XI windows 7 when I edit a cr report file .rpt - to make changes to the layout or add a field or some such thing - and then close it answering 'yes' to saving the changes - the file isn't released from cr. if I try to open it again in crystal reports, I get a message, 'This...

I think that I'm doing it the normal way, at least the way I've always done it. I'm not quite sure how to word it differently but I'll give it a try. thanks kim

hi ptrifile why disregard? what did you discover that helped you resolve this? I'm a relatively new CR developer and come here sometimes just to browse and see other posts to learn about problems and how they were resolved, so am curious as to what you found to give you the report as...

thanks for your reply Madawc I'm editing a CR report file to change the layout and add some fields to the report; it's the CR report file itself - report_name.rpt - that I'm editing, not a data file. from your question, "Are you using SQL to write data?" it sounds that you're thinking I'm...

cr XI windows 7 after I edit a file in cr and then close it, if I try to delete it via windows explorer, I get an error saying' 'This action (delete) can't be completed because the file is open in Crystal Reports.' but it's not; I can even close cr and reopen it and I still get the error. only...

Anyone ever see a quizz show called Bumper Stumpers? (pathetic, but I was without a compensatory engagement and had a lot of time - and need - to veg and limited no of cable stations). It had a short run - the show, not my involuntary sabatical. I like the story about the guy that picked NO...

impressive memory. what I thought I'd do, was to have first letter of the last name as a parameter in the main report which would then retrieve only those records with the last name beginning with that letter and then have the subreport, that gets the first letter of the last name, select only...

thanks LB the end result won't be simply a report that calls a subreport, I was just trying to reduce it to the simplest form to make it run and give me the parameter selections I want and once I have that working, I'll call the subreport from the actual main report. what I'm trying to do, is...

Hi PHV yes, that worked very well. I'm not quite sure why I was attempting to do it using generated a formulae, I suppose because I generated the sub based on a recorded macro and expanded from there. your procedure is much cleaner. forest for the trees etc. ... just fmi, should it have been...

I tried to put the data between the preserve format codes you suggested - I couldn't get them to display here, how do you get them to display as you did? - but it didn't keep the columns; not sure if I did something wrong. but I uploaded the file to a folder on our website and I think that you...
