Macola 7.7.700 Loss of Flexibility (crystal report printing) in Windows 7
Macola 7.7.700 Loss of Flexibility (crystal report printing) in Windows 7
(OP)
Hello all,
We are running Progression 7.7.7 and have some old Flexibility code that prints out a crystal report. We have Crystal Reports 10 (have yet to upgrade). The Flex code still works on our XP machines but not on the Windows 7 ones. I was surprised to see that the flex code references the Crystal Reports 8 Engine Object Library (surpised it still works on the XP machines as the report is written in CR 10).
Anyway, it my research I've seen talk of registering the mscomctl.ocx (did that). A mention that the vbaconn.exe file is bad, etc. But oddly, no mention of this exact problem. Does Flexibility still work for any of you Windows 7 users? Or is this a Crystal Reports problem? BTW: We have no problem running this report using a third party app outside of Macola (Progression) on the Windows 7 machine.
Does any one know which crystal report ocx I should be referencing from Flexibility in Windows 7?
Thanks in advance,
Mary Jo

RE: Macola 7.7.700 Loss of Flexibility (crystal report printing) in Windows 7
Flexibility does work in a Windows 7 environment. The problem you are having is related to the Crystal components which your project is using. Windows 7 is only supported with Crystal XI R2 SP 6 or higher versions of Crystal. You will need to update the code to use the Crystal XI Runtime components for everyone or create a project for the user which is running Windows 7 which will use the Crystal XI runtime components.
Try looking at the reference for: Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 11.5. This reference should use C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin\craxdrt.dll.
Thanks,

Still, thanks anyway. You got me to go into the Flex code, and I got used to the environment there (a bit different from VB.net), and I was able to come up with a solution.
