Crystal 9 Report Viewer - how to trap error

[BCarol]

Sometimes the Report viewer gives this error:

Crystal Report Viewer
-----------------------------------------
Failed to export the report.
Error formatting the page.


I guess this is an internal error message. How can one trap for this error and give another message?

I tried code in the Error event of the Crystal viewer.

But it never got triggered. Is there a way to trap for this error?

Hi,
I have seen that error when the printer defined for that report is not able to handle it ( one cause can be if a Page Footer is supressed)...What export format are you attempting.

The Crystal Report Viewer is not open to modification ( mostly) , so no additional trapping seems possible.

One way to see more about what is going on is to run the report in the designer with the same parameters/conditions as you have done in the viewer.

I typically find that the issue you're experiencing is printer/page formatting/data related.

One item to check is the KEEP TOGETHER option at both the group and section levels.
