Exporting under CR 8

[davemassey]

All,

I'm having problems consistently exporting to the different available formats using CR 8. My users are on Win9x thru WinXP and rely on my installer to drop and register the required CR dlls on to their computers. The problem is that sometimes the exported files are zero length, sometimes export attempt simply crashes the application using the viewer. Any suggestions on how to consistently use the export functionality? Which DLLs need to be registered and in what order?

Thanks.

OK, so you're using some software to create an application using CR 8? Or are these compiled reports?

The Developer Help file has the required DLL info in it.

Since you've shared nothing about your code, or whether you're using the OCX, Print Engine or RDC, it's hard for people to advise you.

I would suggest using the RDC, here are the sample apps:

The code which I inherited is MSVC++ which does an import on Craxdrt.dll and calls the CreateInstance("CrystalRuntime.Application") method to start crystal. Perhaps you or someone else in the forum could shed some light on what this technology is (ie: is it the RDC or what exactly) and, as such, which DLLs need to be included so that exporting will work correctly.

Thanks!
