1. So the benefit is being able to reuse SQL and not have to define it over and over in each report? 2. Do you paste in the flavor of SQL for your database (such as SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) or does it use Crystal Syntax independent of database syntax?

Thanks to you both for the replies. The data is in an external database, but it is available to reporting from Crystal Reports, where I can then schedule to export to Excel, CSV, etc. The end product is a PowerPoint presentation which currently has embedded Excel spreadsheets which have to be...

Can anyone please provide any suggestions on methods to automated Crystal Reports data in PowerPoint? The purpose is to automatically update PowerPoint presentations without having to manually re-key data to update them. I have some embedded Excel worksheets in PowerPoint slides which I would...

I am facing an issue where InfoView and CMC will not load in the browser (IE 7). I have installed CR Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2003 server. Apparantly CRS2008 only works with Apache and not IIS from what I can tell. Apache is running and shows a list of installed applications (including...

This works on my hosted service. You might try removing the connection from Outlook (Tools > Account Settings > SharePoint lists) then add it back. Try adding just one contact from Outlook without much detail ... it might be some content in one of the contact's fields that is incompatible...

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Most solutions do not consider hosted environments, so I have been coming up with workarounds. SPD offers options, but I have had to implement workarounds for it too. I'm interested if anyone else has any other options or would like to discuss this issue...

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not quite sure how to use JavaScript to pass values between DVWPs but it give me something to research and that sounds like it should work. I appreciate your help!

Can anyone provide any specifications to help know what minimum VPS (Virtual Private Server) requirements would be needed to run Crystal Reports Server 2008? (processor speed, RAM, etc.) If anyone has any experience or has tested running CRServer2008 on a VPS server (so shared, non-dedicated...

Could anyone suggest any ways to perform a calculation on a web part page to take a beginning balance pulled from a SharePoint list + list items from another SharePoint list to arrive at an ending balance that is calculated & displayed on the page? The web part page should look something like...

I appreciate the posts. After digging in a bit more, that is how I have it set up. Here are some more details: 1. SIA is running under a (Vista Ultimate) domain account on my computer (remember this is a test environment, so not on a real server on a network but just on a single computer)...

Thanks for the post. Yes, that is what I was thinking. The ServerIntelligenceAgent (SIA) is running under the computer's administrator account, which has access to the UNC/share. But even running under that account it still gives the error message of bad user ID or password. I've started...

Apparantly this is either new to 2008 or a difference in full BOE vs. CR Server. I only find 2 items in the CCM: 1. Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 ("Tomcat Application Server") 2. Server Intelligence Agent ("Manages BusinessObjectEnterprise Servers") I can still see a ReportJobServer in the...

I have been able to output to a share (UNC Path) using BOE XI R2, but so far I am unable to output using CR Server 2008 to a share or UNC path. I changed the ServerIntelligenceAgent to run under the administrator account for the computer (this is a test box). It runs fine. In BOE XI R2 I...

Thanks for that suggestion. We have a high volume of reports, and need something like the Crystal Repository where you can update the image or text that lives in the repository 1x, then the change is reflected in all linked reports. This prevents having to modify each individual report, which...

Versions used: CR XI R2 and BOE XI R2. I have images in the Crystal Repository, and I have added them to the Crystal reports so that when the reports run on schedule through BOEXIR2 the current versions of the images are used to create the new instances. This requires "hard coding" a new...

I have seen many articles explaining that SharePoint Designer 2007 has a bug when trying to restore a .cmp backup file, generating an error message that it cannot find the ExportSettings.xml file. Does anyone know if there is any fix for this?

I am using WSS 3.0 in a hosted SharePoint environment. I would like to know what is the best practice for making an exact copy of my site, including all list & document data as well as security permissions, and then restore it to a blank site. Since this is a hosted environment, I do not have...

Looking for any pointers anyone can throw out to me ... I need to be able to tell something very basic from a system auditing standpoint - who has accessed which document in SharePoint? My limitations: WSS 3.0 version of SharePoint, running in a hosted environment (so I have no access to the...

Thanks, this is really the high-level overview I was looking for.
