    Crystal Reports Version XI sometimes asks for the parameters twice

    I occasionally open up a crystal report and run it and the parameters are asked for a couple times. If I do a show SQL Query, I see no Where statement limiting my report. If I try enough times to run this report, eventually it will run fine with the WHERE limitation pushed down in the SQL. If...

    Joining a command object to a view

    Hi, there are occasions when I want to create a specific re-usable command object that can be joined to another view. I tried this in a very simple case, and when I show the SQL actually generated, it is not joined at all. Can this be done? Thanks, Sean

    Crystal XI crashes when dragging a field

    Does anyone know a solution for Crystal Reports XI 11.0.0.2812 crashing when you drag any field off of a primary monitor onto a secondary monitor. I use a Dell Lattitude D630 using an Intel Graphics Media for Mobile Driver, and my whole team has the same issue.

    I am having difficulty in SSIS to be able to take two tables in a one to many relationship, and flatten the resulting joined rows into one wow with a comma separated field representing the repeating data.

    How do shared variables in Crystal 8.5 and XI effect performance?

    I have a solution to a problem that I am considering that requires me to design around using possibly 100s of Shared variables in a subreport that gets included for every report I write. I am concerned before I go too far that this could effect performance/memory considerably. These variables...

    Anyone know what a file that ends in .RPX is?

    I am seeing these .RPX files showing up occasionally. Is this a Crystal Report 8.5 related file? A temp file?

    Very Slow Data Explorer Window

    I am using an Oracle SQL Driver, working remotely. When I try to add a stored procedure (we have 800 of them), Crystal takes hours to bring up dialog box (data explorer) to add a stored procedure. If I do this operation locally at work (high speed access), operation takes very little time... I...

    Support Version 8.5 and 8.0 files simultaneously?

    On a daily basis I need to support some crystal reports in 8.0 version and others in 8.5. Is there a way to maintain both versions with one PC? I suppose I could try to load both Crystal 8.0 and 8.5 on my hard drive. I expect that there may be problems with that. Any ideas?

    Oracle and SQL-Server one report fits all?

    We have the same report used in both SQL-Server and Oracle. Current implementation has 2 reports, one for Oracle, one for SQL-Server. From a maintenance standpoint, this is unacceptable (we have hundreds). We would like to have one report that could work for both. Is there a way to have one...

    Memo Field Questions/Problems

    I am currently working on a report that needs to use a function to parse a memo field. I just found out that this cannot be done in Crystal since functions cannot work with Memo fields. I need all the data, so casting is out of the question. Any ideas? Any plans to update this limitation in...

    Memo field in access linked to Excel field problem

    I have Excel 97 and have a long description (up to 1000 or more characters). I have linked Excel to access, and the field gets picked up as a text field... not a memo. Therefore I get only 512 chars. Any fix for this?

    I have a report that needs to get data from an access table and join up with an Oracle table using a field "Code". I get a warning that the fields are of different types from the visual link expert (but cannot see any diff String 10), but this appears not to cause problems. As When...
