Known problems with CR8 Compiled Reports

[BobHunter]

Apart from the annoying problem of not being able on set the landscape/portrait settings in compiled reports, does anyone know of further bugs ?

I have a distributed/compiled report which works fine on some machines and not on others. I have run the litttle setup program on each machine but it still refuses to work.

The error is 'a boolean expression is expected here'
if ({FACILITY_ITEM.FACILITY_LEVEL}="GR&quot Then
crRed
Else
crBlue

Both machines have CR7, not CR8, but this shouldn't matter as I've run the distributed reports setup.

Any ideas ?

You are mixing versions, which isn't always successful. These will put different versions of some dll files in the same place, and can cause some minor conflicts.

One thing you can try is to take the "cr" off of the color names. This is new with V8. The color name without the "cr" works in both 7 and 8.

I would skip the distribution for these PCs and do a "save as" version 7 and recompile. You can run compiled reports on a PC with CR installed, without running the distribution. Just make sure that you have the 3 files ( EXE, RPT and CRF) in the same folder on the target PC. Ken Hamady
