Tables not all accessible 1

[technonurse]

We are using Crystal Reports 9 on one computer and 11 on another. We note that the list of available tables from our SQL database are not in the list. The list gets truncated to stop somewhere in the middle of the "Ps" or the "Rs" in both. I've never encountered this. What can be done to make the whole list of tables show up?

How many tables, stored procs, views, etc.. are in your database?

Here is a post of mine from the Great Plains forum some time back, that may help you out:

Try this solution from the Business Objects Knowledgebase.

KBase Article ID:c2013280

Cause:
The number of database objects returned to CR is determined by the setting in the Windows Registry. The default value for this registry setting is 8,000. You can change this default value by editing the Windows registry setting, NTablesMax.
NTablesMax - specifies the number of database objects to get a listing of from the database. Once this number is reached the listing of objects in Crystal Reports is stopped. Objects can include tables, views, synonyms and stored procedures.

Solution:
To access the NTablesMax item in the registry:
1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "Regedit", then click OK. The Registry Editor will appear.
3. Browse to the following folder:

CR XI Release 2

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions
CR XI (Release 1)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions

CR 10

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions
CR 9

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions

CR 8.5

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions
4. In the right-hand window of the Registry Editor, double-click NTablesMax. The 'Edit DWORD Value' dialog box appears.
5. Select Decimal.
6. In the Value Data text box type "10,000". Click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor and then restart your computer.

The next time you open Crystal Reports, you will be able to see all 10,000 database object
