Crystal Reports has a log function, but it calculates a Natural log of the number. Fine as, I can use a log of any base to add up the values I need, and that solves the overflow problem I get by multiplying my numbers together. However, I hit some difficulty in converting the log back into a...

I've got an iPhone that I'd like to connect to my Exchange 2003 server for mail. Due to a series of errors I've killed OWA on this server but I was able to create an IMAP server and I've enabled IMAP through my firewall. Still can't connect though. Does the iPhone require OWA? Editor and...

I've got a windows service that writes a HTML file to indicate it's status and recent activity. The file is in a dedicated folder in the c:\ProgramData\... area. On my Vista machine, inside File Manager, the date on the file is recent, and the preview pane shows the expected contents. But...

I've had to remove a firewall so changed the external IP address on my Small Business Server. That upset IIS, so removed any Web sites that pointed to the invalid IP address. I'd like to reestablish the \Exchange web site, but not sure where to look. Should have made a note before I deleted...

I've recently sold a customer a copy of Crystal Reports 2008 and they are asking for some documentation. The User Guide used to be in a \Docs folder on the disk, but it looks like it's not there any more. Anyone know where I can download a copy from? Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear...

Had a really productive session with the boys from Microsoft about how to make sure my app works under Windows 7 when it comes out. One of the things I was doing wrong was to write files into the application directory. I should really be using the ProgramData folder. There is no guarantee...

I don't see any activity on this forum since March. Is there much interest in the CR 2008 exams? Any of you sat and passed them recently? I've done them for CR 9, 10, XI but not seeing much 2008 out there yet? What do you think? Worth the effort? Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear...

I'm usually pretty good at getting a report to perform better, but this one has me puzzled. Using Crystal Reports XI with dyanmic pick lists and Page N of M, but I don't think they are the issue. Using ODBC to connect to a SQL Server database. Some record selection is passed via the SQL and...

I'm a software developer with users running a range of windows. One of my apps is a dot Net windows service and a user management form. The two share files in the program folder, but as they could be running under different accounts, those files are relocated into different user folders by...

I'm running Windows Vista on a small home office network. I like to check out the news sites, but sometimes find that they can't be found. Reseting the LAN adaptor, rebooting or just waiting 15 mins or so seems to find the sites are visible again. So could it be a DNS problem on my Vista...

Has anyone else had problems with Vista ODBC connections behaving a lot more differently to XP? I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Setting up an ODBC System DSN to our server just gets ignored. I need it to be a User DSN and I can then see it working in my VB 6 app. Also I'd like to create a...

I know they've dropped the RDC in Crystal Reports 2008, so I took my VB,Net project and tried to upgrade it to CR 2008. I've installed the run time files, but they don't seem to be available to my VB.Net Framework 1.0 project. The Run time files install into a .Net 2.0 folder. Does that mean...

I have Crystal Reports 2008 installed on a Windows XP machine. I can open reports created with older versions, but when I go to Create a new blank report, and select "Create a New Connection", CR crashes with an unhandled Windows error. Do not have this problem on my Vista machine. Anyone...

One of my applications distributed a bunch of documentation as CHM (Compiled HTML) files. Vista opens the file, but fails with a "Address not Valid" error. The file opens and displays fine on my XP machine. Is there something I have to do to Vista to view CHM files? Or do I need to get the...

I'm a developer and some of my applications need to be installed as a DLL in a specific Windows folder. On XP that involved copying the DLL and registering it with REGSVR32. On Windows Vista, that doesn't seem to work at all. Interesting using Installshield to biuld an install to put the DLL...

I've got VMWare running on my windows Vista machine. That seemed to be the easist way to run some legacy apps on the new hardware. The virtual machines are all running Windows XP. My Vista machine is running Ultimate Edition, 64 Bit. I've got some local printers declared on Vista, but can't...

Thanks in advance for any help here. My Base machine is running Windows Vista 64 bit. I'm using VMWware Workstation 6 to run legacy apps with Windows XP Pro as the O/S on the virtual machine. Got most things working including SMTP from my app inside the virtual machine to Outlook on the Vista...

Anyone know of any code to convert a PDF to an image format (JPG or TIFF preferably, but BMP would be okay as well). Also, I'd like to extract individual pages from a multipage TIFF file. Anyone know how I can do that? Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear www.chelseatech.co.nz/pubs.htm
