thanks, but already been there... they've suspended development of the font i'm after :( I know that they can generate it using dlls and the like but i was hoping for a solution that would not require a code change in the app. Regards, Noel.

Hi Dell, what happens when your users attempt to export? Does the app hang/crash or do they simply not have the option to export from the report viewer any longer? Regards, Noel.

If I can get the font I'll quite happily pay for it... do you have a url for the site that you have seen? Thanks, Noel

Hi hilfy, not sure if this helps but we had a similar problem when XP servicepack 3 was installed on client pc's running our application. We still had the option to export files but when the user tried to do this it failed. We found that we had to update the CRPE32.DLL that was situated in our...

No, unfortunately I've been unable to find the font anywhere. I've spent hours sifting thro google results but with no joy, i was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks, Noel.

Hi, has anyone had any experience with adding the Maxicode/UPS barcode to a crystal report? I need to generate the barcode at runtime and am really struggling to find a font for it so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Noel.

Hi, I think i've found the problem. ME!. I assumed the report was using odbc but when i looked back it was using a project data connection. I have corrected the report and all SEEMS fine. I'll run a few more tests and if i have any more problems i'll post back. Thanks for taking the time to...

Hi hilfy, the other pc's odbc is named exactly the same as the one on the development pc, the difference is the name of the server that the odbc looks at. Regards, Noel.

Hi, I have an sql app which connects to the db's via odbc. I have a report within the app that i can run fine on the development pc but when i move to another pc i get the LOGON FAILED message. What am i doing wrong? here is the code that calls the report and applies the logon details...

Hi Monksnake, thanks for the reply. I had'nt even thought of that approach, i thought that i'd just be able to add the parameter and that sql would just concatenate the fields. Many thanks, Noel.

Hi, I need to be able to set the database name used within a stored procedure by passing a parameter at run time. I know how to pass a parameter normally but I seem to be a bit stuck on this one. Here is an illustration of how i thought it would work. create procedure [dbo].[sp_Lock] @dbExt...

Hi Brett, can we put this one down to experience (or stupidity if you wish!!). From the methods you suggested I worked out that instead of working on the current main form i'd actually created a NEW instance of the form, so a couple of tweaks to the code that opened the order details form ie...

Hi Morfasie, I actually posted that reply before seeing zmrAbdulla's post. Did his suggestion sort your problem? If not can you post a copy of your code as i've tested both zmrAbdulla's and my suggestions on a datagrid that i'm working on and it appears to work as you require. Regards, Noel.

Hi Brett, due to a severe case of man flu I logged of before you last night and have only just managed to try this solution. Unfortunately this method still created a new instance of the main form and did not refresh the existing main form. Please dont apologise for your efforts, i've been...

Hi Brett, Thanks for taking the time to respond again. Perhaps I should have stated that this is an MDI app and I want the mainform to be always on display. Just to give you an outline of the project. User logs into system and is presented with frmPopMain which is the MDI parent. This form...
