Different values in design and scheduled mode

[goranm]

I have a very stange problem.

My report, wich includes two linked subreports, shows right values when I run it thru the Report Designer, but when I schedule the report it shows complete different values.

We have Seagate Info 7.0.2.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks.

I'd guess that you have 2 different data sources involved, that's generally the case.

Perhaps a subreport is pointing to a different ODBC?

Hi !

Thanks for your answer, but it is the same ODBC-connection in the main report as in the two subreports.

I have also tried to use a native connection, but with the same result.

I'd guess that the ODBC connection on the server is different, rather than the initial guess that one subreport is pointing to a different ODBC.

ODBC Administration has a tracing facility which might help you to understand why there is a difference.

An alternative might be that number formats are different, so the values appear to be different, or you're using a & concatenation which is producing seemingly wrong results.

Hi !

Thanks again.

You see when I have been running the report thru the Report Designer I have done that on the same server as where it is scheduled.

And my values in the subreports are just simple counts.

Interesting...

Does it do this when you export as well?

Is the login different?

Very odd indeed...

Hi !

I tested and made an export to excel, and it was the same problem.

The login is also the the same for both main and subreports.

I've had this happen if I use the wrong ODBC driver, such as using the Oracle supplied driver instead of the Crystal supplied Oracle driver.
