Very Weird Eportfolio Issue with TSV Format

Hi There,

Ok, can someone please tell me if they have ever come accross this problem, or can give me any hints on fixing it.....

Here is some background of the report first.

I have a basic Crystal report, that is run daily. It has a date parameter (defaults to 01/01/00), and in the selection criteria the date selection is either of

Date = {Date Parameter} or Date = Today=1
So in theory the report will always have 2 days data in it.

Then the report is set to display/hide based on:
If the {Date Parameter} = 01/01/00 then hide that dates data, and show the 'today +1' data, else do the opposite.

Result:

If I run this in CRYSTAL REPORTS, it works fine and does what it should.

If I run this in EPORTFOLIO, it runs ok for all formats EXCEPT for the Tab Separated Values version. Runs with no data on the output.
Note - before I added the date parameter and conditional supression, it worked fine as a TSV output. That is the only change made, but its weird that it works in other formats not TSV.

Since it works for all other formats, it seems to be a TSV issue, but I have absolutely no idea why/how it occured.

I should also say, that this optional date parameter that I added, I pilfered from another report I have published to Eportfolio and it works in TSV format on that report, which seems to rule out a server setting error.

Very confused!!

My next step is to be to try and republish the report to see if that copy is faulty, then try rebuilding it.....


regards
