    Print error with CR and C#

    What's at line 266? Is that: SCG_Impression_Etiquette.Class1.PrintReport(ReportDocument report, String& printerName) in which case perhaps the printerName is not correctly initialized. That would be your starting point.

    User based picklists in Crystal Enterprise 8.5

    In order to have dynamic picklists (in the generally accepted meaning of that term), you have to have an additional database connection to define the source and output of the picklist. That's not part of Crystal Reports, and it's not a built-in function of CE either. At least within CE you can...

    CE8 Scheduling Report to different formats

    Note that scheduled reports destined for the printer must be in Crystal Report format, not PDF format.

    Distribution of reports over LANs

    On the other hand, if my organization posts the reports (in HTML format, let us say) on the web site, to which over 200 employees have access, but only 15 employees would find the report of interest and be reasonably expected (by us) to view it, are we required to get the broadcast license...

    Web.Config Browse Error

    I'm looking through my Solution Explorer at the Web.config file, and I right-click and see the options Open, Open With, and View in Browser. Out of curiosity, I try "View in Browser" and eventually get the following: Server Error in '/ServiceTwoSources' Application...

    Web Service Cannot Reference Multiple Web Services

    Okay... I may have found the problem. It looks like the IDE is confusing the compiler when it creates aliases for the host of the service. When you add the first web reference, it gets identified as coming from "localhost". When you add the second, it gets identified as coming from...

    Web Service Cannot Reference Multiple Web Services

    I can write a client that references multiple web services. (At least I assume I can, I haven't actually written that particular program.) However, I have not been able to write a web service that does the same thing. Whenever I try, the IDE throws a compile time error (I'm using C#), fails...

    Checking files in a directory

    If you're looking for the existence of specific files, not for changes in the file system, then the FileSystemWatcher is the wrong piece to use. I don't have my work system with me, but I believe you want to check in System.IO under the Directory object for the GetFiles method, and look through...

    Crystal and .Net Web Services

    I can get a .Net web service to serve a single Crystal report. I have not yet been able to get one to serve multiple reports. Is this a limitation of the Microsoft/Crystal interface or of my programming creativity? Limiting a web service to a single report appears to restrict me to a 2-tier...

    Crystal Enterprise Licencing

    I can handle your licensing questions. You'll need to be a little more specific in your question though. Richard

    Pageserver/Output Service do not run

    What account do you have the services running under?

    Crystal Enterprise Authentication

    I'd roll my own security - create a login page, generate my own internal user UID and maintain a list of reports which are accessible to that user. Then customize the ASP pages that CE generated to use your own security hook on which reports to display. It's a lot of duplicate work, but I...

    Reverse Engineering of Security?

    Don't try adding your own users through the back end until the API calls are ready. CE (like its predecessor Seagate Info) has its own way of keeping the various user and security information synchronized. At best your user won't work, at worst you could bollix the entire security setup...

    Comparing Text Files on the Server

    I have a comparison report using the Microsoft Text driver; I run extraction reports from two different databases exporting the results to a text file, then run the comparison report to find out where I have discrepancies between the two. I can do all of this in my local workstation just fine...

    URL Command line problem. (Hiding userid and Password)

    1Park, I had this problem using Crystal Enterprise. If you are using JavaScript, then you can write functions to store the UserID and Password in an included .js file, then call those functions from your .ASP page to set the UserID and Password fields before submitting the report. You'll also...

    PageNumber printing problem when printing from the web

    DvDvDvDv, The reason you got different results is that the conversion functions (such as ToText) are locale-sensitive and will check the local processor environment for things like number and date format. You can remove that sensibility by including the explicit format code in the ToText...

    Grouping Data by more than one feild?

    You're a little vague still on what you're trying to do. Do you want to break by sex and by 10-year brackets: Male 0-4 Male 5-14 Male 15-24 (etcetera) Female 0-4 Female 5-14 Female 15-24 (etcetera) If so, then you need to modify your formula. GraphGroup: StringVar outlabel; If...

    whats the fastest way to get data..

    A few additional tips: 1. Don't use "Page M of N" or any other function that requires late-time computation. 2. If you're running through a million records on the back end and you want output to show up quickly, you'd best do as little grouping as possible (even with grouping on the...

    How to bypass registry setting

    The best thing for you to do is convert all numbers to text format and be explicit about the formatting in that formula. Hence, instead of putting a numeric field (say, ProductionYear) on the report, use a formula: ProductionYearOut ToText({ProductionYear},"####") This way you...

    Filtering CE Instances

    Can't you do this from one of the viewers by doing a post-select filter? The Info Analyzer used to have that capability. Just a thought. Richard
