I am trying to view a Crystal Report within a Microsoft Access Project. I am recieving the following error " object does not support this property or method". I have registered the crystl32.ocx and the crviewer.dll. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

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 am getting the following error when connecting Crystal reports with MS Access.

I have created a report in Access 2002, that I use to export to
Excel. My problem is the field names in the report are quite long
and some are very similar to each other. I can not find a way to
view a list of the field names for the report while in Desing view.
I have no real formatting on the report as I only use it for exporting, and
looking at the report itself in Access, all the field names are truncated
Any help on how to view which fields are in the report and how could
I easily add another field in the middle of it if needed.

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 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 would really appreciate if any of you could give a hand, althoug I know it is quite long question.
Thanks in advance,either you can answer or not.
PS: I dont know if you can send it to my email, but if so please fell free to send the answer to my email.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that will not preview as full screen unless I hit the button in the right corner. Is there a way to default it to large every time?
Along the same line, I have a form that opens with the menu just fine but when I return to it after running the report, it comes back full screen instead of the size it should.
I am sure these are easier ones for some of you but I can't seem to solve it.

I am building a database in Access 2007 that needs currently includes images and excel files as embedded OLEs. I am aware this is not ideal, but I can't change my employer's mind.
I've been looking in to the Attachment data type but am having trouble deciding if it will work as a substitute for my purposes. I know a variety of image file types can be displayed inside Access on forms and reports, but I can't find anything about displaying the contents of an excel sheet. I read something about using Active X controls to display .pdf images - is there anything similar for Excel?
I deal with different blood test reports for same patient on different dates. Because tests are so many, so i have arranged them on different pages of the same main report. But the problem is, that access shows different records of the same tests for different dates one under the other as a set...while i want it to show in parallel columns with test label on left side and column heads as different dates.

I have set up a secured database using access 2003 which I want to roll out to users who will only have access runtime installed on their pc's.
The problem is there are some additional options that I want to add to a new menu (export, change password etc) that I need them to be able to view in runtime - when I set up a new menu in access 2003, it doesn't seem to be visible on anybody else's PC when they are logged into the database regardless of whether they have full access or runtime.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
I am very new to access and have a question which I think is very easy to answer. What I have is an access file with a listing of companies, their contacts and what services we provide for them. (each company/client/service is listed in a row with each new set of information on the row below it).
What I am looking to do it to create a data access page that anyone in our office can view. I want the access page to have a text box where they can type in the name of the company, then click a 'search' button. That will then display the results in a box below everything. The results would be the contact and the services (there are other columns in the datasource as well, but I didn't list them).
If anyone can shed some light onto my problem it would be most appreciated!
Thanks

I have been tasked with creating a database to log employee suggestions and then automatically present reports around the site. I have developed the database and it works OK and can output *.PDF reports, but I'm having problems with how to display these reports. My idea was to output the reports automatically as *.TIFF or *.JPG files and have them stored in a folder that the My Pictures screensaver uses. The reports (in fact, any site report stored in this folder) can then be shown on any screen dotted around the site when it goes into screensaver mode. However I can't find any way to output/convert to a picture file.
The other option is to create a webpage that rotates through the saved PDFs, but this isn't ideal as the PC users will have to load the webpage to display the reports.
I am trying to create a P&L statement in access. I know what I want to come out at the end. I am just starting to play with access and having trouble getting what I want to come out of it.
On the sales side I have a query that gathers all the revenue sources and calculates a total for each date. I then use a second query to just take out the data I want for the P&L report. I created a sub-report that displays the data I want. I use the grouping and grand total features to get the total into the report footer. So far so good.
On the expense side I created a form of a query to manage the one to many relationship to capture the data for expenses (one purchase with many line items). I created a query based of this query to get the relevant data for my expense sub-report. I created the sub-report and got everything looking and calculating the way I want it to. I use the same grouping and grand total features to display the data in the report footer. Still good.
I created a new main parent report with the two sub-reports (sales & expenses) on it and even was able to pull the totals from the sub-reports into the main (so currently the subtotals of the two sub-reports are displayed twice). Now when I try to use the textboxes I used to pull the sub-report totals into the main report to perform additional calculations (sales - expenses) I get #error. I have tried different things and gotten ?name.
Control source for the two textbox controls on the main that display correctly, but don't let me do any further calculations.
=[rptP&LExpensesOverview]![AccessTotalsAmount]
=[rptP&LSalesOverview]![AccessTotalsTotal Sales]
To do the subtraction I have tried using the references above, as well as just using the names of the unbound text boxes in the report that bring the totals into the main report.
As a work around, I tried to build one query with all the data from sales and expenses, but can't "filter" based on date and get the data I want in the query results because the two sets of data are not necessarily related. I either get a long list of records, or no records (I am currently only playing with about 5 days of data).
I've got a word mail merge document that is formatted exactly how I want it. I'm using an Access 2003 database to populate the word 2003 mail merge document.What I would like is to use a access report rather than a mail merge but correctly formatting everything is going to take me forever.
Is there any way I can use the word document I already have to enforce the formatting or must I spend hours positioning each line of text by eye and guessing where on my report it must go to match the word doc?
Hi, can anyone please help me.
I've just set up a form with 2 pages which I can add data into, but for some reason, I can't view all records.
I've tried using the switchboard to add buttons to both add records and view (but they both only add), and i've also set up my own button with the instruction to view all records, but it just won't work.
On the first page the data source is tbl_CompanyInfo, and on the second page, the data source is a subform with the data source tbl_Contacts. The subform will link contacts to the company info via the CompanyID field. I hope that makes sense.
Can anyone please tell me how I can view all of the data via the form.
Thanks very much
I'm wondering how can I view only those query data with value in certain fields.
For example in a record of students with check marks, view only those students with check marks and leaving those having no check mark out.
I know it has something to do with the criteria but not sure what. I've already search the MS Access Help as well as this forum and have not found anything.
Thanks in advance.
