Force Loading of All Data

[WindUp]

Is there some way I can force a Web report to load all data?

What's happening is that I open reports in separate, named windows. This seems work great. You can have multiple reports open at the same time so they can be compared side-by-side. Updating any report refreshes the proper (named) window. However, if any report other than the most recent report displayed, is moved a few pages forward, then it starts displaying pages from the most recently displayed report. (I hope that is clear.)

It appears that when a report requests more information than it is has queued in memory, then it's getting the most recent report's data. I figure that if I can force it to load all data for a given report, then no requests will be necessary.

Anyone know how to do that, or some other way to solve the problem?

Thanks a Lot!

I think, version 9 has Crystal Enterprise on a separate CD, when you install Crystal, the Setup asks you at the end if you want to install Enterprise. It should be relatively easy to use, you just add reports to the repository, and when the report is called, the Enterprise will extract parameters and promt for entering them. I haven't played with it much though.

I'm sure I did a complete install. How do I add Reports to the Repository? How do I call (launch) Reports from the Repository?

I searched through all the documentation for "WCS" and "Web Component Server" and couldn't find any information on how to use it. Would you please explain in more detail? Thanks.

Appreciate it!

Enterprise should come with Crystal 9 Developers, on a separate CD. You add the reports through a Web interface, once you install it, it pretty much speaks for itself. But like I said, I didn't play with it a lot.

This ePortfolio Lite seems to work okay. I found an example that allowed me to navigate to my directory and run my reports, and each window seems to work independently! (Thank God!)

Now, the exact same question I had right after I installed this thing... WHERE IS THIS STUFF DOCUMENTED?!?!?

I'm sure in the hands of an expert, Crystal Reports can do a lot, but their Documentation not only sucks... there isn't any documentation!

Where can I find Documentation on eProtfolio Lite?

Thank you.

Yep, you are right, Crystal docs sucks. Check out their Web site and probably the help file. Other than that, I don't know if there are any docs about it.
