I have the same problem here and I did all what you have done. The cfreport tag seems no working when the attribute report is specified in the tag but it works just fine while attribute template is.

Re: CF8 and Crystal Reports v2008 or v8.5
No one? Just to add a little more info, the full install (all custom features) are done on my desktop while the CRPE32.dll is installed on the server in the System32 folder and is registered. As far as I know from searching the web and looking at Adobe's/Macromedia's technical issues articles, that dll is all that is needed on the server for this to work. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312763 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
CF8 and Crystal Reports v2008 or v8.5
Is anyone running CF8 and calling a crystal report (created with either version 8.5 or 2008) via the cfreport tag? We use Crystal Reports 8.5 with our VB6 apps but have never tried to use them with Coldfusion. I'm attempting that now (with either crystal v8.5 or with a 30-trial of the 2008 version) with no luck. My cfm page runs but I just get a blank screen. If I were doing this from scratch, what are the steps I need to take? Install Crystal 8.5 or 2008 on the server? I assume I need to install it on the server, or do I install it on my machine and then copy some of the dlls to the server and register them? Then call with the tag as follows: cfreport report = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Database\Military_Billings\CFR_Templates\SBA.rpt/cfreport? What are the steps? And, what am I missing? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312723 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: CF Report and Crystal reports
I have been using the asp pages for years with crystal 9. Works great, but only 3 concurrent users. Several months ago I spent some time with my free support incident for my CR 11 upgrade trying to get everything working with version 11. I was successfull but it wasn't easy. Also, I never went to production because I am still upgrading a major app on a new production machine. I have some info at work. I will try and put my thoughts together and send you more info on Monday. If that is too long to wait, you may search their support site for their sample apps.

YOu just don't have the same finetooth control that you have in Crystal. I hope that changes, though. Anyone disagrees, I would be happy to send you a sample of the report to see if you can make the report builder do it. Later Dave Has anyone succeeded in getting this combination to work?

How to create Crystal Reports 11 reports from ColdFusion?
I'm evaluating Crystal Reports XI Developer and it has a few things I'd like to use that aren't available in CF Report Builder. However, I'm not having any luck finding information about creating reports from ColdFusion (MX7). Livedocs say (only?) Crystal Reports version 9 and 10 can be called using cfreport, and version 11 hasn't t worked in my testing. Does anyone have a clue whether or not I can call CR11 reports from ColdFusion?

Re: CF Report and Crystal reports
I have Crystal Reports working in a CF App, but not with cfreport. I am on an older version of Crystal (8.5) and plan to migrate everything to CF's Report Builder. My solution (this was several years ago) was to use some of the sample ASP pages that came with Crystal. I have a CF generated form that posts to an asp page that handles the object creation, report calling etc. Depending on how dedicated you are to Crystal, I would say give the CF Report builder a shot. There are some quirks, but also some work arounds. On 9/6/06, Russel Madere [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone succeeded in getting this combination to work?

Re: Crystal Reports
We've handled the issue for clients in a slightly different way from Marlon, posting parameters for a report to the ASP template (sometimes on a separate server), then handling the redirect to the PDF through ASP. But the heart of the matter is the same: unless CFReport in CFMX7 plays much better with Crystal than previous versions, you're better off using some version of ASP scripting to work with the Crystal app. Crystal provides good examples of how to do this. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 530 Means St NW, Suite 110 Atlanta, GA 30318 404.589.0560 ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:212236 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Unable to find error details file D:\My Documents\sites\cfr\ERROR.TXT, error was: Error attempting to open file to be mapped. I can only find one blog reference to this on the web/MM forums.

Re: Crystal Reports is hurting my head
We're currently planning a move away from Crystal due to licensing costs and the nightmare in trying to hook up CF to XI. We're actually still running on V8.5 but had started to evaluate XI. However due to hair pulling and PC damage (from being thrown against walls) we're now looking elsewhere. In regards Business Objects ... well, the less said about them the better.

Any use for Crystal Reports under CF7?
We still run 6.1, but have received our 7.0 upgrade, and will be installing it in a test environment soon. I still have a budget item for Crystal Reports for this year. I am trying to figure out if I still need it, or if the new reporting capability available through version 7 will suffice. At a cost of under $50 for CR, I may well still get it, but scheduling staff training might be a waste of time and money if CF7 will do the vast majority of what CR purports to be able to do.

RE: Crystal Reports on CFMX 6.1/7
If you want to server up a Crystal Report with cfreport I believe you would
need CR installed. In CFMX7 cfreport can also be used for the new
ColdFusion reports created with the built in report generator.

src=http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentationfile=1476.htm;
Creating reports with Crystal Reports (Windows only)
When running on Windows, the cfreport tag also supports the execution of
reports created using Crystal Reports version 9 or 10.
Note: When you install Crystal Reports, you must select the Enable export to
HTML and Enable export to Disk options. These options are not enabled by
default, so you must use the Custom Install option.
To invoke a Crystal Report report definition using the cfreport tag:
1. Create a report definition in Crystal Reports.
2. Create a CFM page and add a cfreport tag that invokes the Crystal Reports
report definition. The following example shows the cfreport tag invoking a
Crystal Reports report definition and passing a filter condition:
cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'
{Departments.Department} = 'International'
/cfreport
3. Open a browser and display the CFM page.
Tip: ColdFusion MX uses COM to call Craxdrt9.dll for Crystal Reports version 9,
and Craxdrt.dll for Crystal Reports version 10. If you have problems with the
cfreport tag, ensure that these DLLs are registered and, if not, use regsvr32
to register them (the default location for these DLLs is C:\Program
Files\Crystal Decisions\Report Designer Component\).
For complete information on defining reports in Crystal Reports, see the
Crystal Reports documentation.

Re: SOT - Crystal Reports Training
We teach one, though it's not listed on ColdFusionTraining.com.We had used CR since V4 days (it's now at V10), and we needed to support some pathologists that wanted to learn the product, so it was relatively straightforward for us to develop a curriculum and teach a very nice two-day course.

RE: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
Personally I would burn the Crystal Reports box... The quality of the software is so bad, it is unbelievable. I have to come up with one developer which actually likes Crystal Reports and indeed worked with it. - invalid formattings, you need to do a lote of odd save, close, and re-open things to workaround these. - continuously dragging lines to create a simple table. - change something in the text, and you need to realign everything, and execute point 2 again. I personally prefer Oracle's solution, that one is really good (select layout, select data, press next next next next next, done!) but unfortunately very expensive.

Keff. We use JasperReports, an open source java reporting tool, to generate a variety of reports here in University Development at Duke.It was a lot of work to implement - particularly learning how to use one of the various avaialble report designers (mostly now that I know what I'm doing, I avoid the report designer almost entirely and hand-code the XML report designs) It works nicely for generating PDFs.

Re: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
I think I might have sent this straight to David instead of to the list.If it double posts on the list, I apologize.If the attachment doesn't work on the list I will post somewhere else. This is a sample of the email I send out to those who inquire.I have had many inquiries so I have made a template of such to make sending them instruction easier and quicker. I am able to create crystal reports from from my web browser using the attached asp file.I pass variables like so: Just put show_report.asp in your form statement.Here is an example. FORM ACTION='' METHOD='post' input name=report_file type=hidden value=coverpage.rpt input name=pm_week type=hidden value=#varweek# input name=pm_year type=hidden value=2003 input name=pm_areaabbr type=hidden value=#getinfo.areaabbr# input type=submit value='Cover Page' /FORM Anything that starts with pm_ is sent to the report to match the parameters you can define in Crystal. If your report has no parameters you would really only need FORM ACTION='' METHOD='post' input name=report_file type=hidden value=coverpage.rpt input type=submit value='Cover Page' /FORM Your report needs to be in the /rptfiles directory and you need an /output directory for the pdf file.You might also need to give the output file a name(actually I think it gives a default so nevermind that).Can't remember, cause I always pass client.cfid.But it might require that. I have attached the asp file I use.This has been the only way I have been able to do what you are talking about. P.S. I hear that the upcoming blackstone release of Cold Fusion will have this built in.I hope so. - Original Message - From: David Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 10:38:22 -0400 Subject: Fw: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?

Re: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
Well at the rate the client keeps growing this project, it may never get finished.I had heard about some of the reporting in Blackstone, but no details.I signed up for the beta, but I guess I will have to wait. Any other solutions out there if Blackstone is not ready or suitable? Thanks -- Jeff Jeff, An alternative is to use HTMLDoc (see http://www.easysw.com) on your server and call it either via cfexecute or using the custom tag CF_Html2Pdf3. That one works very well, but you have to have HTMLDoc installed on your server. I've also used this approach with our employment application (internal only). Basically sandwich your output between CF_Html2Pdf3 tags and it automatically converts the content to a PDF. You can download CF_Html2Pdf3 at the Macromedia CF exchange: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#view=sn106viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Detailsloc=en_usauthorid=35342392page=0scrollPos=0subcatid=0snid=sn106itemnumber=0extid=1002789catid=0 >From the exchange: CF_HTML2PDF3 allows you to create PDF files from any dynamic CFM page simply by encasing whatever portion of the page you wish to display inside the opening and closing CF_HTML2PDF3 tags. usage syntax: CF_HTML2PDF3 myHTMLDOC=c:\cfusion\htmldoc.exe myOPTIONS=--landscape --fontsize 10pt TABLE CFOUTPUT QUERY=myQuery TRTD#myData#/TD/TR /CFOUTPUT/TABLE /CF_HTML2PDF3 There are some limitations, no CSS, forms or JS and HTMLDoc is limited to HTML 3.1 but otherwise it works as advertised. hth, larry -- Larry C.

Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
I am working on an application that will need to generate a wide variety of reports and invoices, preferable with output to the web and in PDF that could then be printed or emailed.This application is going to be used by different customers, so that ability to brand the reports and invoices is very important. I have never used Crystal Reports, but I have heard it mentioned quite a few times in the context of CFMX.Can anybody make any recommendations as to Crystal Reports or another method for building this kind of functionality?

Re: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
What's your time frame for delivering the app? Blackstone is supposed to have a very nice RG built-in. (I can talk about it because I am not in the beta) Seriously,MM has been pretty good about meeting delivery schedules I've heard that Blackstone will be available early next year.

Re: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?
I use a fairly simple .asp page to dynamically generate pdf files. You would have to have a version of Crystal Reports installed on the server.I have 9.0 installed and that provides the necessary .dll's that the asp page interfaces with.All my stuff is in cf, I only pass the info I need to the .asp page as the last step on the way to presenting the .pdf to the user in their web browser.Be happy to provide more info if you would like.I have a copy of the .asp code and instructions I have sent to others.Let me know if you would like it. I have been excited about the posibility of the new blackstone release making this much easier.Last year at max I got the feeling we could look forward to it.I hope so.I never could make this work with CFOBJECT even though I was able to find some info on it.So, until blackstone I just use the .asp page.Someone smarter might be able to make it work with cfobject and then you wouldn't need the .asp code. - Original Message - From: Jeff Chastain [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 20:31:10 -0500 Subject: Report Generator - Crystal Reports?

Re: CFMX and Crystal Reports
Hey Kris, I've had similar problems when trying to do some heavy CF reports integration, and found that the easiest thing to do was to bite the bullet and use the ASP examples that Business Objects includes with Crystal.We pass an authentication id / token over to the ASP pages which then reauth and use the (pretty spiffy) Crystal viewers (Java or ActiveX depending on platform).

RE: CFMX and Crystal Reports
Never used cfreport.. However we use our own components to connect to a report, the use this component to pass the parameters to the report build the report in either PDF, XLS, or .Doc files.

OT: Crystal Reports (WAS: Absolute positioning in word)
Ok, now trying Crystal Reports but this project seems to be destined to drive me insane, I can't believe no one before me has had these problems! Now, the question: How does crystal reports want me to call tables from mysql?If I just use tablename then I get an error saying that test.tablename does not exist. I then assumed that is wanted a user name so I tried root.tablename but this doesn't exist either, as root is the only user on this dev box the table can't belong to any one else.In desperation I have also tried mylsam.tablename and sam.tablename and dbo.tablename but I could sit here trying random strings for ever and not hit the right one. Does anyone know how to do this? -- Jay -Original Message- From: Samuel Neff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 July 2004 14:10 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Absolute positioning in word (WAS: CSS layer positioning) As I say in my presentation, not everything that can be done in Word can be recreated through HTML-Word.This appears to be one of those cases.

Now back to my problem, if I position a table in an absolute position on the page in word then save it as a doc file it works fine, however it is a binary file and therefore useless as a source of information. If I save it as an HTML document as you suggest it immediately moves the table into a relative position and looses its absolute position, this is also no good :-( A text box does seem to keep it's position ok, but generates so much html code it is hard to tell which bits I need and which I don't, is there any good documentation anywhere on this? -- Jay [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Crystal Reports
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can explain to me how exactly Crystal Reports work with CF. I have a request from my users to replace their Access based report with web based reports and I think Crystal is the best route - maybe. Does Crystal need to be installed on the CF server? What version of Crystal is needed as I have two different versions of CF running. I on set of servers that is still using CF4.5 - waiting to be upgraded and another set running MX. Is there any other report writers out there that will work with CF? I have been working with iText to make pdf's but I am not sure if this is good for what I want to do. If anyone has any ideas or knows of any other solutions, can you let me know. Thanks Mario [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

OT: Crystal Reports
I'm making my first attempt at building a crystal report for contract printing from our internal web site. I'm having a little difficulty with a couple of things, so I was wondering: A. Are there any good web/mailing list resources for crystal reports? B. Are there any good web/mailing list resources for using CFReport crystal reports? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

ColdFusion and Crystal Reports
I've never used Crystal from CF, so I'm forwarding the following question from a colleague: I want to use cold fusion to call a Crystal Reports template with a WHERE clause and display the report in PDF. If 500 users are requesting, who handles the requests? ColdFusion or do I need to purchase a Crystal Server? Thanks Basically, he wants to know how licensing is handled when calling Crystal from CF. Will Crystal refuse requests when the license is exceeded? If so, does it throw an error that must be trapped in the CF code?

Crystal Reports - use CFHTTP/CFLOCATION now for CFREPORT ? How?
Can you please explain how to use CFHTTP (and I guess it's with CFLOCATION?) to actually replace the CFREPORT tag that no longer works with newer versions of Crystal Reports?

Re: Crystal Reports
This came up in the past couple weeks. As I remember the summary: The COM component (.ocx) that ships with Crystal 8.x and 9 may or may not work under CFMX. The Java-COM bridge can be problematic. But there is a Java wrapper (which I can verify that ships with CR 8.5 at least) that will let you manipulate Crystal reports as you would the COM object.

Re: Crystal Reports 9 / Reporting Options for CF5/MX?
I've used the 8.0 and 8.5 COM objects under CF 5. The couple of experiments I did with CFMX didn't leave me feeling confident -- no luck at all. There are some good Java-based charting APIs -- commercial ones, that may be an option under CFMX. One option you *could* consider is to use CF to get the data from Crystal's ASP pages it comes packaged with -- using CFHTTP. Not a solution I really like. You could also just use the Crystal ASP miniapp that comes with the product as a part of your application --- no reason you can't put the appropriate links (or generate them on the fly, depending on your needs) in the CF and link back to the CF from your ASP-based Crystal pages. I'd be really interested to hear other's experience with alternative reporting tools -- Jasper reports anyone? DataVision? etc. Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Ben Koshy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 5:51 PM Subject: Crystal Reports 9 / Reporting Options for CF5/MX?

RE: Crystal Reports Enterprise 8.5 ohhhh the pain
CR does set a cookie for each parameter, and i believe the max is 20. Passing it via url does cause cookie problems. What I do is use NT authentication for the login, Just make sure the crystal server is logged in as a user that the db has an account for. A problem that I ran across was subreports, when you use cross db joins, it will get confused with all the usernames and passwords, so I just used the same usernames and passwords. FYI, create a list and pass it in as one parameter and strip it apart in CR that way you won't run into the cookie problem. -Original Message- From: Sean McCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 9:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Crystal Reports Enterprise 8.5 o the pain No I am not passing the login and pass in the url.

RE: Package of Crystal Reports Required for CF?
Hi, i meant the actual tag cfreport.. not crystal report itself.. i found it a bit hard to get it working.. and once i did.. i found it abit lacking in functionality you can write a module or component yourself that works alot better... just take the ASP examples that come with the software and covert it to CF... or interface CF form with an ASP page that calls the crystal report (*.RPT) file.. search the MM CF forums.. for issues ppl have come across... hth joel -Original Message- From: Jocelyn Isidro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 19 September 2002 10:15 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Package of Crystal Reports Required for CF?

RE: Active PDF and Crystal Reports
Don't know anything about Crystal reports. We use ActivePDF toolkit to set up fields/set doing the parameters. Don't like their documentation but the product is good and they are quick to respond to email. They also have an example CF zip file on their website. anyhow to set up the basic code: !---Set up toolkit--- CFOBJECT ACTION=Create TYPE=COM CLASS=APToolkit.Object NAME=Tkt !---Set up the name of the finished pdf--- CFOUTPUT CFSET R = Tlkt.OpenOutputFile(ExpandPath(../TempOut/Grade4#Numb2#.PDF)) /CFOUTPUT !---Set the name of the input pdf- the template that will be filled in--- CFSET R=Tlkt.OpenInputFile(ExpandPath(../PDFs/Grade4_5.PDF)) !---Then you can use a query to pull up what you want to use by cfsets--- CFSET PRINCIPAL=Tkt.SetFormFieldData(PRINCIPAL, #Query.PRINCIPAL#, 0) !---Clear out and close--- CFSET R=Tkt.CopyForm(0,0) CFSET R=Tkt.ResetFormFields() CFSET R=Tkt.CloseOutputFile() CFSET Tkt= !---Send user to finished pdf--- CFOUTPUT META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0; URL=#Request.PDFroot#TempPDFOutput/Grade4#Numb2#.PDF /CFOUTPUT Then using pdf writer you make the text boxes on the pdf and name them according to the CFSETS. ie: Text Name: PRINCIPAL Default Value: #Query.PRINCIPAL# That's it. -Original Message- From: Tretola, Rich A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Active PDF and Crystal Reports Anyone out there using the com object written by ActivePDF to create PDF's using ActivePDF and Crystal Reports rpt files?

passing date values thru URL to crystal reports
Hello all,
Does anybody know how I would pass date value thru url parameters to a
crystal report?
This what I'm trying to do:
CFSET URL=RentAdjustmentReport.rpt?sf=prompt0=1prompt1=date{01,01,2002}
this is what my formula in crystal reports looks like:
{Cases.CaseStatus} = {?caseStatus} and
{Cases.ReceivedDate} = {?receiveddate}
I'm getting prompted to enter in a date.. but then it says error in formula.
Please help
Thanks

crystal reports
I'm running cf 5.0, crystal report 8.5, on win2k
I tried calling the report with cfreport tag but am getting timeout errors,
I also noticed other developers having the same problem on the messsage
boards. So what I'm doing is calling the report via URL.
This is the url that I'm using:
RentAdjustmentReporttest.rpt?sf={cases.caseStatus}+%3d+1{cases.receivedDate
}+%3d+06/01/2002promptonrefresh=1
The report name is RentAdjustmentReporttest.rpt and two parameters that I
want to pass thru is cases.caseStatus and cases.receivedDate.
These are the formulas:
{Cases.ReceivedDate} = {?receivedDate} and
{Cases.CaseStatus} = {?caseStatus}
Whats happening is that the first parameter caseStatus is working but the
receivedDate doesn't seem to go thru. When I view the source this is what I
see:
Dim webSource0
Set webSource0 = CreateObject(WebReportSource.WebReportSource)
webSource0.ReportSource = webBroker
webSource0.URL = /RentAdjustmentReport.rpt
webSource0.PromptOnRefresh = True
webSource0.AddParameter sf, {cases.casestatus} = 1
am I passing the parameters in correctly? or is there another way of doing
this?
Please advise,
Thanks

crystal reports vs... ?
Hi Listers, I'm peering into my crystal snowball and I see dozens of complex reports in my near future. These reports need to be generated from dynamic (server-side) databases whipped up to the user in an editable format (rtf/doc). I have used an open-source Perl script (now an open source kit available at http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=RTF-Writer). I need to forego the Perl solution because 1) My Perl skills (not there) more important, 2) I hope to train someone to build reports in a Win environment w/familiar interface widgets, etc. What I'm looking for is anyone with some experiences generating reports on-the-fly ... which toolkits, how much$, pitfalls, etc. The target platform is a win2k-server-based intranet with a variety of possible datasources (access 2k, sql server 7, oracle, etc.) Finally, I need to make a decision, say, today or tomorrow, buy the software and produce, say, yesterday ;) Thanks!

OT: crystal reports vs... ?
Good luck... I've built a report generator for us, and it's been a work in progress for the last year :) As far as I know, crystal 8.5 has its own scripting language now that *gasp* looks just like ASP. Working with 8 however, I've come up with a way of using stored procedures for my dynamic parameters. However dynamic reporting itself would require some pretty hefty programming. If dynamic reporting is necessary, I'd investigate some OLAP reporting solutions; Oracle, Cognos are the first that come to mind. It's a neat way to look at reporting. What we do here for all of the bizarre report requests is have a scheduled task in sql server that dumps a tonne of data to excel for a pivot table. It's a three dimensional way to report on data that can be quite effective if the users are trained on how to use it. However, given my experience with end users, they aren't all smart enough to think in terms of pivot tables. Given that your needs include an editable format, have you considered using MS Word and COM to report? It's not pretty, but it can be done. Either way, in a nutshell, what you want can't be answered in a day or so. I wish you the best of luck on your quest. :) -Original Message- From: Michael Vinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 6:18 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: crystal reports vs... ?

Crystal Reports help
Hi guys and gals, Is there anyone out there who is fairly good in Crystal Reports? I am crashing ehre trying to hurry down what should be a simple report.

I try to edit the SQL directly using Show SQL and it does not keep my SQL statement. It ignores what I put in the Select line of the SQL Statement. Namely Equipment_Tbl.Equipment_Desc. Now this is a field on the report hat I stuck in there, and of course since it is not in the select statement I keep getting errors saying field not in Select clause. I am at my wits end!

RE: Crystal Reports help
I haven't practiced much with Crystal but... I would start fresh using the Crystal wizard. Select all 3 tables you need and make sure you relate them. I've never seen a multiple starting points message but that sounds like you have unrelated tables. Make sure you make all tables and columns available to the report using the wizard. Also, I don't think I've ever successfully edited the SQL. If you need serious phone help you might try calling Crystal Decisions. If you have enough time you might try to pick up a manual or Crystal for dummies book. It should have examples in it. Good luck.
