CR7 Report only runs on Server

[tvhasben]

I have a compiled crystal 7 report that will not run on any other workstation except the server in one of our clients offices. All other reports run fine on any workstation. This one hangs up after seletion parameters are enterd . . .doesn't even clear the screen. Anyone else had this problem & if so how did you fix it?

Ben,

Hanging is not a behavior that would point to a specific consistent problem. Either there is something unique about the report, or something is unique about the config of the server that allows it to run. You have to identify the differences, and that means double checking some things.

Check to see that "Verify Database on every print" is not set differently. Unless the database structure changes frequently, I wouldn't use this setting.

Do the other reports use the same database, tables, join types?
Do they have similar parameters?
Do the workstations have the correct version of CRPE?
Do they all have permissions to all files and workspace?
In other words, what are the uniquenesses of this report or environment. That might point you in the right direction.

Unchecking &quot;Verify Database on every print&quot; did the trick. The database in question is very large (medical patients - 3 years worth at 100 patients a day). The report runs on all workstations now.

Thanx
