All my reports export fine in Word, Excel, Text, and PDF format. I have one report that fails only in Text format. It still exports header though. What in the world is happening here?

Thanks.
 
I'm feeling dense just now! What exactly is the problem? What reports? From what? containing what?

Have a quick look at FAQ referred below

I have all the answers to your questions on my previous inquiry if you read it carefully except one: What report? ---> It's Crystal Reports I am having problem with. This is VB forum, right? What contains in the report shouldn't matter. Besides it will never be consistant what's on the report. It seems like you haven't exported any reports in VB before.
 
>This is VB forum, right?

Yes it is. Are you using VB?

>I have one report that fails only in Text...

How does it fail?
does it seem to export ok?
Are you getting an error produced by the crystal engine?
(are you trapping the return code from crystal)

> It seems like you haven't exported any reports in VB before.

hmm

IMHO, I think that you should answer Johnwm very valid questions honestly and without being obnoxious about it. He is giving his own time to help you! You have posted a very vague question, with no background information. How can someone replicate the problem, expeiment wiht code etc without more info? This forum is very good at answering vague questions, but expect to be asked for deatil (it is even better at answering more targeted questions). It is also worth noting that johnwm is one the top people in this forum.


Give us the information and someone will try and help.

I wish you luck in searching for the solution.

If someone had specific questions, he/she should've asked in more specific way no matter how popular/knowledgable the person might be. I gave all the information I have on the problem already. I felt if someone is familiar with the problem, the person would understand what I was talking about by reading the subject line and the body of the forum posted.
Also, Why would I throw a question in VB forum if I wasn't using VB?

Anyway, I don't mean to waste precious forum space exchanging silly stuff.

I do apologize if I caused any confusions, although..."obnoxious" could be a very subjective term....
