    "Export as text" error?

    I have a formula which builds a sentence based on data in records. It prints fine, but when I export as text, the formula field is blank. I have checked Crystal's KB and see lots of discussion on this... It fails in export as "paginated text" and "text" but works fine for...

    Keyboard Macro Recorder?

    We are trying to automate some testing and looking for a keyboard macro recorder like the one which used to be provided with Win 3.1 (to record keystrokes and mouse actions). Does anyone know if a 32 bit version exists anywhere in WinNT/Win2K or Visual Studio? Thanks jlester@lester.com

    Is it possible to print an object model?

    I would like to print an object model, similar to what you see in the Object Browser. Does anyone know of a way to print this for easy reference, or is there a utility which will do this? (showing values of constants if possible!) I can cut each class "pane" to the clipboard and...

    Reduced functionality?

    I have always used CPEAuto32.dll and the formula functions under SectionOptions. Since CPEAuto32.dll does not support PDF, Crystal suggests we use the 'new' method: CRAXDRT.dll (which does support pdf in 8.5). However, the CRAXDRT no longer supports (or gives access to) these formulas. (for...

    Can you "Reset SQL" at runtime?

    We have customers running on different version of a Sybase database, and some reports appear to hang. (The reports were designed and saved against db version 5.0 and the client tries to run it against db version 7.0) We can solve this by opening the report with the newer database going to the...

    Can you set formulas with CRACDRT?

    I can set user formulas using CRAXDRT ( the RDC - report designer run time program), but does anyone know if I can set a formatting formula using the RDC? (I am referring to the formulas you see when yu format an individual object on a report, like 'Suppress' - I need to be able to change...

    Using CRAXDRT for format formulas?

    I know how to use CRAXDRT to change user formulas at runtime. Does anyone know how to read or change the 'formatting' formula for a specific object via CRAXDRT - or if it is even possible? (These are the formulas normally entered in the 'Format Editor' such as the Suppress Formula, the Font...

    Can Crystal 8 export to PDF?

    Yes. You need to download the export drivers from the Crystal website and install them (they were marked as beta when we d/l'ed them several months ago). We have used them to export from the viewer as well as via the print engine (crpe32.dll). - have not tried with the .ocx However, we cannot...

    Report Documentation???

    I like StevenK's approach and will try this one myself... To Kamal, the report miner program does not do any reporting by client, by rather lets you compare reports to determine what is different. (sort of like VisiDiff or the SourceSafe Differences report). I do not use it for keeping track...

    Report Documentation???

    We use Report Miner and have been very satisfied with the results. It provides much more complete information than the standard 'Export Report Definition' approach. If you need to compare 2 reports, then their report-difference program is the only way to go. I have not seen any version...
