Formula error, why? 1

[rcbatlinux]

I published a report that ran fine in my Crystal Reports 8.5 yet on Crystal Enterprise 8.5 when I accessed it through the web it gave a formula error. My formula happened to be a date function. I removed it and it then ran fine. Any ideas on how to resolve or why this happened?

What format did you pass the date in?

does your formula use a function listed in the "Additional Functions" section of the formula editor? if it does, this means that you are using a user defined function which is delivered in a DLL. this DLL has to be on the Page Server and Job Server in order to have the formula evaluated when being used with Crystal Enterprise.

I have a formula field using CurrentDate in my Crystal Report (CR8.0). This report is scheduled to run daily.

I'm puzzled that the date displayed in this field is the date when the report is opened to display the first time, NOT the date when the report is actually run (generated). This date stays unchanged thereafter. I was expecting the date would be the date when the report is run.

How do I display the date when the report is actually generated?

Use the "data date"
