Exporting to Excel Loses Chart

[mychal]

I have a chart in a report. When I export to Excel in a .NET web application, the chart is missing. I see placeholders where the object would be, but no chart.

Is there a setting I need to change? Any other advice?

Thanks.

Do you know the version of Crystal you're using, is it Crystal for .net?

Tried applying the service pack?

I designed the report in CR 8.5 orginally, but I created the same report in VS .NET 2003 with the same problematic result.

The service pack didn't help, but thanks for the suggestion.

Bummer.

Reports export charts fine here.

I assume that your export from Crystal 8,5 works fine?

Here's the example apps:

Check:

Yeah, the export works fine in CR 8.5.

I'll check out the samples though.

Thanks again.

The web export sample is handy, or rather would have been a few months ago when we were muddling our way through it. But when exporting to Excel, it only does a basic export, with no formatting options utilized.

It's no biggie though, because exporting in .NET is very limited anyway.

Ahhh, well wait until you upgrade to a real version of Crystal, then the useful sample apps show up several months after you muddle through it
