Subject: [DUG]: Delphi and Crystal on NT4

32 bit Works well. If you have 16 bit tools Seagate Software will not help
you if you are a Delphi developer either. You will likely have little joy
with versions prior to 5.x.108 and anything other than 32 bit Delphi. The
Seagate developed VCL wrapper around crpe32.dll for v5, 6 or 7 is more
powerful than the COM/VB equivalents.
>With NT 4 (sp?) the reports won't run and I get an error "cannot open
>database" from the Crystal DLL.
You will have to specify the database type, database version,
Crystal Reports type, version, platform and the method you are using to
interface with the Crystal Reports Print Engine DLL i.e OCX, CRPExx.dll
imports, VCL (D2,3,4, CB1,3 with source) or the Automation Server, as well
as the version of the BDE, ODBC, ADO, or native connection you are trying to
hook up to Crystal Reports.
Sounds like a configuration issue."Unable To Open Database File" is an OCX
error which implies a Database verify may be required or the pathname is too
long esp wih Access, or maybe some UNC pathing problems. If you are using an
ActiveX bridge to Crystal Reports then there are a host of OS and Microsft
DLL redistributables to factor in.

ftp.img.seagatesoftware.com/pub/crystal and /pub/seagate_crystal_reports is
full of software samples, fixes, extensions etc. Http access gives you some
of this: http://www.img.seagatesoftware.com/crystalreports/techsupp/ You
may find benefit by consulting the newsgroups hosted at www.cogniza.com or
the alternative Crystal Report VCL at www.suprasoft.com or end user info @
www.crystaluser.com

p.exe
is a handy test tool written in Delphi with source.
