Crystal Reports Viewer Active X Control
Feb 26, 2006
Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.

I have created some Crystal Reports to open out of MS Access. Everything works great for me and all the users, except one.
The one user when they try to open the report gets nothing (no error, no lock-up, nothing). It is only on their machine (we have tested them logged into other machines and the report works just fine).
My guess is there is something wrong with the Crystal Viewer on their machine (in our case Crystal 8.5 ActiveX viewer control). I looked on their machine, and they have the same .ocx control as myself and the other users C:Winntsystem32Crystl32.ocx
I even went into their Access and Registered this ActiveX control (design view of a form) and still was not able to get the control to work. We were thinking about re-imaging this users machine, but this is the only error they currently have. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this error, and if so is there an easy fix?
Thank you for your time.

I'm using the Snapshot Viewer control in one of my forms to display reports within the form. This works fine, except that with multiple page reports, there is no button to change pages, users have to right click and select 'next page.' In design mode the buttons to change pages and print appear at the bottom, but for some reason they don't show up when viewing the form in form view.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
Thanks

I have MS ACCESS 2003 installed..I am trying to open crystal reports in access form. I am not sure how to program that..but to begin with I was trying to place the Crystal reports viewer control in the form..but I dont see Crystal Reports Viewer Control under active X controls...Is it something that needs to be installed separately?
An other member of my team has the same version of access installed but he can see Crystal reports viewer, under Active X controls?
help.
Thanks

I have a database that was built by some users, long before I came to my current job location (oh yes, one of those fun issues), and have run into an error that is involving a 3rd party tool, and is tough to duplicate.
There is an ocx control named "Kodak Image Thumbnail control" the path is C:winntsystem32ImgThumb32.ocx.
This is an active x control, that on the double click event, opens up the correct corresponding .pdf file. It works correct for me, on my machine. It works correctly for 3 other people on their own machines. When we had a user it worked correctly log into a user who it does not work correctly, it then worked correctly for them (appears to be user rights, and not machine specific). It does not work correctly for another 2-4 users (not sure the exact number).
But, the rights were gone over with a fine tooth comb, and nothing was found different from each user.
What is weird, is how the error occurs. There are 59 records in the database, with a linking .pdf file displayed in this .ocx control. For those users in which this does not work, the first two records open the .pdf correctly. After this (records 3 to 59) they receive the following error:
"Microsoft Access can't open the file containing the OLE object.
- You may have specified an invalid file name or an invalid unit of data (such as a range of cells from a worksheet) when the file for the OLE object.
- The file you specified may not be available because it's locked by another user or you don't have permission to use it.
Try one of the following:
- Make sure the file is available and that you used the correct file name.
- Check the OLE server's documentation for information about the syntax to use when specifiying an OLE object's data."
[OK]
Since this is a third party tool, that I have never used, and do not even have on my machine (yet it works correctly for me) I am not sure what else I can do to track down the error. I just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this error, and if so how they had fixed it.
Thank you for your time.

Hope someone here can help me with this.
I am using access 2003 and Crystal reports XI.
I have created some reports using CRXI that access my access database.
I use the following code to open the standard reports. MyReportFile is the name of my rpt file. I have no problems here.
Set crxReport = crxApplication.OpenReport(MyReportFile, acViewDesign)
CRViewer1.ReportSource = crxReport
But when I use the following code to use the recordset as source for the report, everything works the same - opens the report with data from the recordset..
Problem is after I close the application, access window will not close. The only way I can close is by task manager. If the following code is not executed then I could close the access window. I get no error messages.
When I run the same application with Access runtime version I get the message "Execution of this application has stopped due to a run-time error. The application can't continue and will be shut down.". But will not let me close the access window.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Set crxReport = crxApplication.OpenReport(MyReportFile, acViewDesign)
crxReport.DiscardSavedData
crxReport.Database.SetDataSource SearchResults_rst
Set crxReport = crxApplication.OpenReport(MyReportFile, acViewDesign)
CRViewer1.ReportSource = crxReport
Thanks in advance.

I would appreciate any advice/opinions as to what advantages, if any, Crystal Reports has over Access.
I am used to developing complex queries and reports etc. in MS Access but a job I have applied for uses Crystal Reports of which I have no knowledge/experience. I've got an evaluation copy of CR and it looks relatively straightforward but if I could use Access I would!
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me out. I'm trying to get a button on an access form to open crystal reports and pass two parameters through to it from controls on the access form.
This is what I have at them moment:
Private Sub openRpt_Click()
Dim selForm As String
Dim CrystalReport1 As Crystal.crystalReport
Set CrystalReport1 = CreateObject("crystal.crystalreport")
CrystalReport1.Connect = "ODBC;UID=ID;PWD=PW;DSN=dsn;Database=dbname"
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "O:DatabasesCReportsSingle Project Up To Burn Rate.rpt"
'CrystalReport1.WindowTitle = "Single Project Up To Burn Rate"
'CrystalReport1.WindowMaxButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowMinButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowState = crptMaximized
selForm = 'selection formula
CrystalReport1.SelectionFormula = selForm
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "PeriodStart(" & Me.yearCode & ");true"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(1) = "ProjectNo(" & Me.projectNumber & ");true"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToWindow
CrystalReport1.Action = 1
End Sub
With this I'm currently getting a "Method 'Action' of object 'CrystalCtrl' failed" on the line CrystalReport1.Action = 1
My Ideal solution would open Crystal Reports in its own window, but if thats not possible opening in the access form would do.
currently running:
Access 2003
Windows Server 2003
Crystal Reports XI
Thanks

I have built an automated procedure in VBA Access 2000 that is now great (thanks to a lot of downloaded help from this forum). I use the MSCOMM active-x control to talk to an instrument via the serial port.
Question: Is that control only working because I also have VB6 installed on this same computer? It seems to me that I tried something like this a year ago and could not get MSCOMM to work in Access, but at the same time, I didn't have great MSCOMM examples to go by. I do now as I could rob them from other programs my company has written in VB6.
I have both VB6 and Access 2000, but chose to develope this procedure in Accesss because of the heavy amount of data to store (and I know VBA much better than I do VB6). I thought Access is a natural. But now I am wondering if I will have problems distriubuting this database to other service offices that may not have a machine with VB6 on it?
Do they need just plot MSCOMM32.OCX in to their system32 directory?? :confused:

Hi,
I have an Access database built by someone else and I need to make a change.
The database works fine on the client machines but does not work on my Development PC.
What happens is when it starts up I get the initial program screen but when I try to launch any data form I get the title error messge.
However, It does however work on an older PC I have here (which has the same configuration).
I am running Windows XP with Office 2003 - this is the same thing that both the client and other PC have.
In general Access works fine on the new PC and there are no specific
Any thoughts on whats going on? I want to use the Development PC as the old one is very slow and has basically been retired.
Thanks

Please can someone tell me how to change the back colour of a control when it has the focus and then revert to the original colour when it loses it. I have 35 controls on my form, so I need a function, rather than changing the colour with a subroutine evey time.
I have searched the site and haven't found whatI want-though I'm sure this question has been asked before.

I have a form where the user clicks a button (button 1) to open a modal form, the user then enters data into this form and clicks close.
Then back in the first form I need to find which control had focus before (button 1) was clicked.
Screen.PreviousControl returns a control on the modal form.
I hope its easy like Forms!FirstForm.PreviousControl but I can't seem to find it!

Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?

I have tab controls, each of which holds a report. If the report is longer than the tab control the report is stuck there. no slide bars, no overflow. I have set scroll bars but they dont seem to take or work. I need to find a way to add verticle scroll bars to the reports within the tab controls so that you can view the entire report. I have included a screen print of what I mean.

Is there any Access viewer from Microsoft, like the others for Word, Excel and PP?
It would be nice if clients can browse forms and print reports without having to buy Ms Office. But I could not find anyone.

Wonder whether anyone can help me?
Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?
thanks:)

Just wondering can anyone help me please. I am only a learner with access so please go easy. :)
I am using access 2000.
Problem:
I have worked out from a lot of help from this forum how to put a cmd Button on my form to call the dialog window and store a file path in one of my text fields called “imagelinks” I can then view the image on a subform. I have two buttons one to insert a new image and another to delete the image. So far so good. Now I want to put another button on the form to preview the image with the default image browser. Can this be done so that if I gave a copy of the database to my friend and he has a different image browser the image can still be viewed by the click of that button.
I hope I have explained the above so it can be understood. :confused: myself.
Thanks in advance.
