Crystal Server logon error - Urgent.

Hello,

Can anybody please help me or point me in the right direction here.

The ongoing problem is that I have uploaded my reports to the crystal server at work. Everytime I try to view a report, it tells me I have a logon error as follows, "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect." I have tried to make a new report with a new sql database connection on the server at work - I still get the same error message.

The ODBC settings are exactly the same as my own server at home. I have the same username and password as well. I can view the reports at home without any problems. But can't view them from the work server.

If I view the reports through a JDBC connection I can view the reports on the server at work. But if I change the connection to ODBC, no report can be viewed. I can view the same reports on my home server regardless of what type of connection it is, ODBC or JDBC.

For the life of me, I just can't seem to figure out the root of the problem? Please help me.

Best regards
SafIf you don't mind my asking, have you figured out your database logon problem?. We occasionally have the same problem, and still don't know why it happens.|||See if you find solution here

Crystal Reports Export error 8.5

Our web server was running windows 2000 iis5 for several years including crystal 8.5. We just migrated to windows 2003 iis6 and all applications work great. EXCEPT exporting to PDF with (asp) using crystal reports Session("oRpt").Export.
I installed all SP & hotfixes for exporting and still no luck. Called tech support and they don't support version 8.5 so they would not help me.
Can somebody please help me! I have just 2 applications left that use crystal reports 8.5 and they are well heavily.

This is the error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'

An exception occurred: 'Export'Hi Dough,
Just wondering if you ever found a fix to the crystal report export. I am having the exact same issue with Windows Server 2003 / ASP 3.0 / IIS 6.0.

Thanks,
Troye Stonich|||I may have a solution for you to try.

I found it may be necessary to set the Display Progress Dialog to False. Most likely due to security restrictions on the IIS 6 Win2003 server.

Right before the Session Export line, Enter the following line,

Session("oRpt").DisplayProgressDialog = False

This helped me, doing a simple PDF Export (no viewer). Crystal does not present this dispaly in sample ASP they provide, (9.0 and below). For me it was pretty much a trial and error to resolve this issue.

If the above does not work, try the following 4 lines:

Dim strContentType
strContentType = "application/pdf"
Session("oRpt").DisplayProgressDialog = False
Response.ContentType = strContentType

Hope this helps.

Steve|||You guys are GREAT !

Thank you so mutch, i was getting crazy because of this problem :-)

crystal reports and Sql Server 2k

Has anyone had any luck getting Crystal Reports 8.5 to work with the
Sql Server 2000?

I keep getting a "Unable to open Database" error. I've tried opening
with either the .Connect property and the LogOnServer method and get
the same message from either approach.I am using the OCX control.

Does this version work with Ms Sql?
Any thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, it seems you're not the only person to have problems:

http://groups.google.ch/groups?q=sq...ial&sa=N&tab=wg

But it is a supported combination, so if it isn't working, then perhaps
BO/Crystal can help you:

http://support.businessobjects.com/...es/c2009948.asp

Simon|||Taking a wild guess here. I suspect it's nothing to do with SQL.
Crystal uses various DLL's to access various parts of it's reports.
There will be one for database connectivity and one for graphs etc...
Quite a lot if I remember correctly.

I had problems with Crystal 10 and SQL 7 and found the issues were not
documented too well but weren't SQL issues. I had to use
http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to walk through the DLL's to find
which ones were needed.

Worth a quick check before delving into any SQL issues.

and that's how I got here. I have found little information through the
search and nothing specific to this issue.

I also have seen the list of supported platforms, but this doesn't help
with the problem I'm seeing.

A little more detail, just in case someone has solved this one --
- The client platofrm is Win98,
- The client has installed the latest mdac as part of the MsSql install
- VB connects to the MsSql server through ADO, without error and data
flows as expected
- CR8.5 .LogOnServer method succeeds, returning an incremented instance
index.
- CR8.5 .Action=1 is the call that causes the "Unable to open database"
message.

Any other thoughts on this one?

We use Crystal Reports exentensively in our application. We have never had
any problems with Crystal connecting to SQL Server - we never try. The
database Crystal sees is a TTX file. The VB code access SQL Server and
then feeds Crystal a recordset.

I have no idea whether this is workable in your case. Personally, I try
to avoid contact with Crystal as much as possible.

Crystal Reports access denied error

Hello,
I've been stumped trying to resolve the following error when running Crystal Reports on a new server I'm setting up:

I'm running a Win2K server (service pack 4) with Crystal Reports 8. I've tried setting the security to "Everyone - Full Control" on all folders but I'm still getting the "Access denied" error. Has anyone seen this before? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!The following changes fixed my problem:
To properly set up your System Environment Variables:

1. Create the directory "C:\Temp" if it is not already created.
2. Right-click on "My Computer" on the server machine, and choose "Properties".
3. Go to the "Environment" tab.
4. Under "User Variables", select "TEMP", and then click "Remove". Repeat for the variable "TMP".
5. Select any variable under "System Variables".
6. Change the value for "Variable" to "TEMP" (no quotes).
7. Change the value for "Value" to "C:\Temp" (no quotes).
8. Click "Set".
9. Change the value for "Variable" to "TMP" (no quotes).
10. Change the value for "Value" to "C:\Temp" (no quotes).
11. Click "Set".
12. Click "OK".

Be sure to give "Read" and "Delete" access to this TEMP folder so that the Crystal Reports web components can read and write to this directory.

Crystal Report Viewer "Error, Not Implemented"

I have reports to display using Crystal Report 10.

Set lCrxApplication = New CRAXDRT.application

Set lRapportCrystal = lCrxApplication.OpenReport(ObtenirRepertoireRapport() & "RapportAdmRemboursementCumul.rpt", crOpenReportByTempCopy) ' OptenirRepertoirRapport() is a function that return the path to the report directory that is saved in the database.
' Finds the path from the registry...
lsPathBD = GetSetting("GTS", "Demarrage", "RepertoireBD", "")
lRapportCrystal.DiscardSavedData

For i = 1 To lRapportCrystal.Database.Tables.Count
lRapportCrystal.Database.Tables(i).Location = lsPathBD
Next i


frmCRViewer.CRViewer.ReportSource = lRapportCrystal
CRViewer.ViewReport
Set frmCRViewer = Nothing

Set lCrxDatabaseField = Nothing
Set lRapportCrystal = Nothing
Set lCrxApplication = Nothing
End Sub

The problem is encounter when the Crystal Report is opening. it Open but then I get the Error "Erreur, Non Implment" with "Crystal Report Viewer" as title for the errmsg.

Im using Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6)
Windows XP Home, French (SP2)

When using the Crystal Report Tool, no error are popping up but when calling the command
CRViewer.ViewReport The Error pop's up.

I have download a sample from Planet Source

http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=59818&lngWId=1

It also work fine using the Access/Excel(DAO) database source but if I change it to Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 it keep giving me that same error.

Is there anyway to go around this error msg and display my report using Microsoft.Jet or do i have to use Access/Excel DAO absolutely ?

Crystal Report SQL ?

Hi, I'm new doing crystal report so I do not get where the error is.. So please help me if possible..

This is a project handed down, I'm not the one coding the program..

I have run the SQL Statement at the SQL Query and IT WORKS !
Cause i need to add another condition to it and its added into the WHERE clause.

The report which contains 2 subreports uses the SQL statement.
When i run the VB application, no information is shown out like the SQL Query.. No information at all..!
All because after i added the extra line which works fine in query.

The same thing happen when i tried adding the SQL into the main report's query..

I have no idea what is wrong with it. Does it have something to do with the main report ? Because my colleague tried using the subreport as main and she said it works.. She suggest it has something to do with the main report..

FYI: I never change codes in the VB application because the retriving of information is based on the SQL of the Crystal Report.

Crystal Help (Quick Please!)

Hi,

I am experiencing a very strange error and in dire need of immediate help as I have to present these to my clients tomorrow.

So here is the situation:

I have created a report and am working from my computer and connecting the crystal report to a DB on server X and it works fine when running.

I then open this same report up in server X locally and run the same report but this time no data comes up. I checked the SQL query from within the crystal report and ran it against the DB locally on server X and data is returned. So data is obviously there. Why is the actual report not displaying data in the preview when run locally on the server when it obviously has data.Open the report and do verify database

2) Mystery DLL names.
If you have used the Crystal feature "Convert Database Driver..." you will notice a list of DLL files in the pull down list. However, if you were to try to find these drivers on your PC, you would search for a long time. The reason is that the list of driver names hasn't been updated. These are the names of the DLL files used in the original 16bit version of the Crystal. To get the equivalent 32 bit file names, replace the first 2 letters "PD" with the "P2". So PDSODBC.dll becomes P2SODBC.dll. This is a file that you will actually find on your PC. These old file names also show up in error messages, so it helps to know how to decode them.|||Well, have you converted your database driver, as it says there?|||I guess I'm a little confused here...if I go to the drop down menu on the convert database I get a variety of dll options...where I guess I'm confused is this..

CryptographicException

I started getting the error
CryptographicException "the parameter is incorrect" whilst designing a

nothing in the report, including the dataset and I still get this error. I

look?

I get this error very often while designing reports.
When you get this error, Just Save the changes and Close the Project. Open
it again, you will not have the error.
Hope this helps

There are other corruption issues, such as all of a sudden, the report would
stop passing parameter to execute a stored procedure in dataset... Again,
saving, closing, rebooting, and reopening didnt help. I ended up having to
recreate the rdl,
I now establish version control, so that I can revert back to an older,
workable version.

I found that deleting the data file resolve the problem in my case.

Cryptographic Exception

Midway thru a report development I get an error:
Cryptographic Exception: The parameter is incorrect.
I'm told to look in the task list for details, but it is empty. I've
previewd this report a dozen times during the design and now it barks. This
is the first time i've opened it today, yesterday it was fine. I'm
referencing a stored procedure in SQL server and can view the data from the
data tab. Not sure what to do.
Any suggestions appreciated.

RichardDid you ever find out what this means. I just re-opened a report I worked on
last week. THe report renders but I get the message when trying to export the
results to ANY format.
