Crystal 8.0 - Incompatibilty Issues With SQL Server 2005
Jul 17, 2007
Hi,
I am facing compatibilty issues of Crystal Report 8.0 with SQL server 2005.
I am unable to generate reports designed in Crystal 8.0. My application calls the Report file which in turn uses SQL Stored procedures where business rules and logic is written.
I am afraid is there any compatibility issues persists with Crytal 8.0 and SQL Server 2005. If so, kindly suggeest me the Crytal report compatible version for SQL server 2005.
I shall be very thankful to get a solution on this.
Regards,
Nethesh Kannan

Hi All,
My application uses "crystal reports" control to integrate some reports that can be viewed from within the application.
I'm getting a login failed (due to bad password SQL State 8) error when I bring up the report from within the application. The report runs fine outside the application with the same username password.
- I've checked several times to make sure that I'm passing the correct username/password from the application.
- All letters in the password are lower case. There is not case-sensitive issue.
- I printed the username and password on a pop-up to see what values are passed , and they are correct.
- A single test page that uses the same version of "Crystal Reports" control , using the same username/password, brings up the same report works fine.
I guess , my question is:
Is there a way to trace the login failure event on the SQL Server side to see what is the value of the password that is being sent by crystal reports control?
I'm using Crystal Reports XI with sp2.
SQL Server 2005.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Satish

I have created a "read only" login on the SQL 2005 database server with rights to the public role with grant connection rights. When I use the "read only" username in Crystal Reports, the database does not show in the dropdown box. When I give "read only" sysadmin rights, all databases appear. I do not want "read only" to have sysadmin rights, is there another way around this that would truly give "read only" read-only rights?

Hi All,
I am using Crystal Report 8.0 to create report on MSDE sp3a , but when I try to make connection Natively :
More Data Source->MiCrosoft SQL Server-> [Dialog opens]
then I type the ServerName, UserID and Password.
System hangs for a while, then I get this error :
"Unable To Connect to Sql server MyServer"
BUT IF I create system DSN (ODBC) then create the report, it works.
Why can't I create report Natively on MSDE ??
Thank you very much for any help,
Krist

I'm using Crystal 9 with SQL Server database. I have a report that was working fine for the first 8 months. As soon as I add another month, the report fails. I've tried different setting in my indexes with different variations of periods. The minute I have over 8 periods included, the report fails. No errors, just no data. I don't even have a clue where to look for possible answers on the Internet.
Can any one help or direct me to some resources??
Thanks,
Debbie

I have been evaluating the Microsoft SQL Server Everywhere Edition and have been trying to create a Crystal Report from it. When creating the connection from Crystal I have selected the OLE DB provider supplied by Microsoft with the product and then been presented with the 'Data Source' screen. On entering the path to my .sdf file I get an error reading :-
Opening a database as read only requires a temp path to be specified. [,,,Db name,,]
Can you tell me what is required to be entered here?
Also - I only have the Express Edition of SQL Server 2005 which won't open an Anywhere Edition database - is there a way of getting the mobile tools for use on the desktop?

Hello everyone,
I need to create a Crystal Report based on a SQL Server database. However, life is never that easy…
The report needs data to be taken from the database, manipulated and reported upon. Doing this manipulation within CR will make the report take far too long to produce so I thought I would create a temporary table within SQL Server and manipulate that.
Cannot get Create Table permission!
Plan B is to use VB / ADO to extract the data (about 1 million rows) from SQL Server and write it to a local Access database that I can manipulate as much as I want. Crystal Reports can then report on the Access data.
Questions:
•Is this the best way to go?
•I know how to use ADO to connect to n Access database but how do I connect to a SQL Server database?
•I think I will need to write a single Select to build the SQL Server recordset but will I need to write each row individually, using a Do Unitl loop, to get the data into the Access recordset?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hywel

Hi, Simple question really - Can I use Crystal Reports v8.5 to attach to databases in SQL Server Express and generate reports? I have done a lot of searches in these forums and using Google and I believe it is possible but if someone could confirm this it would help a lot - I'm in the specification stage of a project and would like to use SQL Sever Express for it.
Thanks

Hello,
I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1
I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
Thanks

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

A long shot but someone may have experienced same problem. We are using Crystal Info to run reports against a SQL 7 database. Reports that usually take 1 or 2 minutes to run are taking up to 15 minutes to run. The database is fine ie you run the query through the query analyser and it runs in 1 or 2 minutes. Any ideas... I've spoken to Seagate but not making much progress.
Thanks in advance..

I just started using Crystal, and I have to say, its a pain in the arse.
Can I just run a simple SQL query and get the results I want, without having to use Crystal Syntax?
Here is the query I want to use:
Code:
select * from esmpvald, esmprmtr
where esmpvald.permit_id = esmprmtr.permit_id and
esmprmtr.issue_date >= ('01/01/06') and
esmprmtr.issue_date <= ('12/31/06') and
esmprmtr.permit_id in (select esmvardd.permit_id
from esmvardd, esmudfvr
where esmvardd.var_fld_id = esmudfvr.var_fld_id and
esmvardd.permit_id in
(select esmvardd.permit_id from esmvardd, esmudfvr where esmvardd.var_fld_id = esmudfvr.var_fld_id and
(esmvardd.var_fld_value = 'a') and
(esmudfvr.var_fld_name = 'Commercial Type')) and 1=1)
I will be looping through the "esmvardd.var_fld_value = 'a'" part, going a through f, but for now, I just want to start with the 'a'.
I could do this manually, and throw it in a Word doc, but I'm trying learn this thing. Ideas?

I am working on creating Crystal Reports from a SQL database.
In CR you can define a multiple range parameter i.e. 1-10, 100-200, 300-400 and Cr will filer records that satisfy this criteria.
How can I transfer this functionality using a stored procedure?

I'm new to SQL but have quite happily been using Crystal Reports without it until now.
I am creating a letter template and it has the name at the top then the address
<name>
<address1>
<address2>
<address3>
<address4>
There is always an address 1, but maybe not a 3 or a 4, and aparently we dont want any line gaps to show, so I figured i should use an isnull to eliminate the line and to move the other address line up?
Not sure what to put though, any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help :o)

ive come from a crystal background and im having difficulty writing reports.
An example of the problem im having is with saved formulas (crystal calls them formulas)
eg
i would create a forumula called Difference
it would be something like this
=DateDiff("d",Field1, Field2) save that and then it was stored
then in a text box i would reference it like so.
=iif( Difference <= 23,"Too New","Just Right")
is this possible in RS??? as i have reports i need to convert from crystal to RS, and the iif statements are becoming huge, especially when you reference the same formula in the expression multiple times.
bit long winded i know, and i hope this makes sense, but i am witts end with this issue
thanks in advance
