Crystal Report

[vkuzmich]

To Levis.

Sorry, I am not Babu, but will try to help you. In Cr8 you were able to correct this in such way: go to Database menu, Set Location; in Location section in Table text box delete database name and other stuff, leave only table name. It worked in CR8.

Hi,

Thx for ur help. I used to delete the database name in cr8 or 8.5.
But this is no longer working in cr9 as the set location become a one to one mapping between reporting tables and current connection tables. And the user cant directly touch the generated sql anymore...

Hi Babu,
I have a report that displays a set of data. Here, one requirement is, when one field is say 'High', I have to display one red image. If it is 'Medium' I have to display 'Green' and so on. I am using Crystal reports 9.
Thanks in advance

Hi Babu,

I need your help on my web application that using crystal report as reporting system module.

The problem is the report gradualy stuck when generating report. Then we restart the system again, but the performance wont budge. I check the system performance (we use win2k as the server) on SQLServer.GeneralStatistic.User Connection and it count more then 500.000 connection.

TIA.

I am having difficulty in viewing reports using the OCX in my application. The user can choose to view/print 1 of 4 different reports. The problem is after viewing one, then choosing another, the window does not refresh with the new report.

Here is code to view a report:

void PrintThisReport()
{
                ....................................
                ................................
               ..............................

	CWnd* pWnd = FromHandle(GetReportsWindowHandle());
	CRect rect;
	pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rect);
	ScreenToClient(&rect);

	m_cReport.SetReportFileName(csPath);
	m_cReport.SetSelectionFormula(csSelection);

	m_cReport.SetWindowLeft(0);
	m_cReport.SetWindowTop(0);
	m_cReport.SetWindowWidth(rect.Width());
	m_cReport.SetWindowHeight(rect.Height());
	m_cReport.SetWindowParentHandle((long)pWnd->GetSafeHwnd());
		
	if(m_cPreview.GetCheck())
		m_cReport.SetDestination(0); // To window
	else
		m_cReport.SetDestination(1); // To printer
	m_cReport.PrintReport();
	m_cReport.Reset();
}

If I called this function twice via Button Click, change the selection formula, the report doesn't change!

End With

Please help
