Also wanted to mention. I did reset the PRAM. Still same issues..

Ok.. This computer is driving me nuts! I have a iMac G5 with OSX 10.4.11. The computer stopped booting and was stuck on the grey screen with the spiral. I assumed the hard drive must be going bad. So I removed the hard drive and hooked it up via a USB drive reader to another MAC running...

mforrence: I agree with you.. trvlr1: I am using a Fluke DSP-4000 and it has been calibrated from Fluke... I am thinking it is something within the ceiling... Maybe the wires are kinked or possibly they are next to some high voltage... I will have to look at where one of the "new" guys ran...

thread575-506253 We purchased some new cat5e cable and the first time using it, the cable failed on return loss only on pair 7,8 with margin -1.8dB at 29.1MHz on two separate lines. Of course I was thinking it was the cable and that it was poor quality. However, we used a third cable along with...

I have Crystal Reports 8.5 and recently needed it to add a field to an old report. It seems that any database fields or text boxs can not be added. There is a "ghostbuster symbol" (usually like a no smoking symbol of course without the cigarette) when I hover over the report with the field being...

I am also using crystal reports 8.5 to export a report into a pdf file. I get an error message in XP (which I don't know right now because I am not in front of the machine). I do not have crystal reports installed on this machine. It specifically asked for a dll that said it was missing, which...

I am using Crystal Reports 8.5 and I have a report that uses a nice pie chart. When running this report from a machine that doesn't have crystal reports installed, it will not show the pie chart. I tried copying all sorts of DLL files from crystal but it still shows up blank. Does anyone know...

See my thread: thread766-1258688 I dont agree with CR 8.X seeing a string over 255 as a memo ALL the time! I am having issues myself with memo/string fields. There is a BUG somewhere! Somehow "something" looks at the data that is in the table to determine the string length of the field in...

I wanted to post what I found so far. I DELETED the table row, which had only one row of data in it, and recreated the field with NO data in it. Now it takes it as a memo field. I think this is a bug SOMEWHERE either in Crystal Reports or MySQL ODBC. I am still using the old connecter...

Ok, I checked the data in the table, I was curious WHY it was choosing string[230] and not 255. The ONLY record in the table that had any data in it contained text of 230 characters! I decided to ADD 100 more characters in the field data and then re-designed a new report, and it now shows...

I still did not resolve: thread766-1081074 As soon as I created the report in Crystal Reports 8.5, this report showed a MySQL "text" field as a memo data type in CR 8.5. When I saved the report, went back in the next day to finish the report, I verified the database and it said it fixed the...

Yeah, thats for sure. I uninstalled the older odbc drivers and installed th latest from their site and I am getting all sorts of problems with Crystal Reports. When you pu the ODBC connection in it (username, password, server) The drop down for the database to select shows garbage characters...

I will try that, however I do want a memo field (eaning I would like it to be more than 255 characters). I just hope the MySQL ODBC 5.0 set will not cause problem... ;) Thanks.

This is a continuation of thread: thread766-1081074 Since it was archived, I couldn't add to it. Ok, as a recap; I have Crystal Reports 8.5 and MySQL Server 4.1.18-nt and MySQL ODBC 3.51.12 Drivers. It seems when using a "text" field in MySQL, Crystal Reports will only show it as a String...

I have crystal reports version 8.5, MySQL 4.1.9-standard, and I am trying to get a left outer join to work. The report works great with this select statement: SELECT * FROM employees Now, I go into the report and click on the "Verify Database" option from the menu and change the select...
