Failed To Export The Report, Error In MS Excel Export Format DLL
Hi,

I have a little problem with Crystal Reports (CR 8) :

I try to export one of my reports from a VB program. When I try to export it in "Comma Separated Values" format everything is ok (except this is not the format I need
). When I try to export it in excel format it works, on some PCs but not on others ?

VB code sample :

rpt.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTExcel80Tabular
rpt.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
rpt.ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat = True
rpt.ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat = True
rpt.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = txtExportDirectory.Text & ExportName
rpt.Export False

I tried all the excel formats (crEFTExcel50, crEFTExcel50Tabular, crEFTExcel70 ...) but on some PC's I always get the "Exporting Records" window for a second and then the error "Failed to export the report, Error in MS Excel Export Format DLL".

Can anyone help me out ?
Thanks !

Data Report Problem (export Format Messed Up)
Hello all,
I needs some help here before I pull out all of my hair. I wrote a program in vb6, that use an access db and data reports. The problem is that when I view my reports in the preview, everything is perfect, all formatting is where it should be, but when I export the file (txt or html, tried both) and save it to my computer and open it again, some the formatting is out of wack. Some parts skip over a few spots and some print on the line beneath it. Why is this doing this?
Help anyone.
Thanks,

Export From Crystal Report!
Pls help me!

In my program, I made a report(Crystal) and then I want to export this report to a Rich Text file. I use the following sub:

Sub ExportReport()
Report.SelectPrinter Printer.DriverName, Printer.DeviceName, Printer.Port
Report.PaperSize = crPaperA4
Report.PaperOrientation = crLandscape
Report.Export
'Report.PrintOut False
End Sub

When the ExportReport is called, a dialog appears allowing me to choose the format file and the path to save it.
But I want to specify the format and the path in my program(it means that the program does all things) how can I write the code for this?

If I have many reports can I export it into only one file (for example, We have report named report1.rpt and we export it into the rich text file name rtfTest.rtf. Then we have another report named report2.rpt, can we append it into rtfTest.rtf)

Thanks in advanced.

Crystal Report Export To PDF
Hi,

I'm trying to export a Crystal Report file to a pdf file using the automation server method. My code is as follows:

Dim App As CRPEAuto.Application
Dim Report As CRPEAuto.Report

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim obj As Object
Set App = CreateObject("Crystal.CRPE.Application")
Set Report = App.OpenReport "c:dmsreportsServiceSummaryTotals.rpt", 1)

Report.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = "C: emp est.pdf"
Report.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
Report.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
Report.Export False

When i ran this code, i got a runtime error message saying "Invalid enum value" and the error number is 30012. However, when i changed the file extension to .doc and set the FormatType = crEFTWordForWindows, it worked fine. Also when i changed the code to Report.Export True and selected the file format mannually, it also worked fine. I was just wondering if anyone out there has come accross this problem before and can help me out of my misery. Thank you so much in advance.

.ExportOptions.FormatType = "your format"

Crystal Report Export
I am a newbie and need some help with some basic code.
I am using Crystal Reports 8.5 and VB6 (sp6).
I am trying to export a report to html.
The report works fine in the Crystal Report Designer...there are no paramaters or anything to pass to it.
I do not have the Crystal Developer version so I am just trying to use the ActiveX Control (not the RDC).
I configured the properties of my ActiveX control and my code works but the output is ugly. It is all one page etc. It doesn't have the navigation links at the bottom like it does if I export from within the designer.
Here is my code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form1.CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "H:VB6SuSchedSuSched.rpt"
Form1.CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "H:VB6SuSchedSuSched.html"
Form1.CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToFile
Form1.CrystalReport1.PrintFileType = crptHTML32Std
CrystalReport1.Action = 1
End Sub

Is there an equivalent to ExportOptions.HTMLEnableSeparatedPages for ActiveX controls?

Any other advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hey MK and Zerocool! Thanks again for your help!

It's working now under Crystal Reports ver 8.5. Yeah!!!!!

Another issue I ran into is the export button of the Crystal Report Viewer. It's working on the development environment (Win98) and also on a Win 2000 client computer. But when I installed it on a Win XP machine, the report comes up but when you click on the export button nothing happens.

I tried to Google this, but I haven't been able to find anything specific about this type of issue.

Export From Crystal Report
Hi all!

I have a big problem when I try to export from Crystal Report 8.5 in .pdf from VB6. I use a database made in SQL Server 2000.
The problem is that all the decimal fields in database are truncated in pdf when I export from VB6. For example, If I have 75.45, it will return 75.00. If I export the data direct from Crystal Report, it works fine.
I tried with some updates for Crystal Report, but with no result.
Please, help me!

Crystal Report Export HELP!

I'm using VB6 + CR7, one of the report I design contain a subreport. In the subreport, the detail may span over one page, and the group header will print again in each page.

Can anyone teach me how to solve this problem?

Thx!

Export Using Crystal Report 8.5
I'm new to Crystal Reports... I've created a report in a VB application that has the export function enabled on the crystal viewer. It works great on my computer, but if I install the VB application on a machine that does not have crystal reports installed, the export function (on the tool bar) does nothing.

I assume that I need to include a dll in my package and deployment, but I'm stumped beyond that.

Am I on the right track??? What dll's do I need to include??? Is there something else that I'm missing?

Thanks!

Crystal Report To Excel Export
Hi,

I realise this is asked a zillionth time already but I'm still having probs and have not found any solution.

I've tried using the export code posted up in previous msges by "MKoslof " but I'm getting a a "Invalid TLV record" error msg as soon as it gets to the line....
Set rep = appl.OpenReport("c:MyTestRpt.rpt", 1)

I've tried searching for this "Invalid TLV record" error and there were a couple ppl that mentioned that it could be caused by my report file being created from a diff version to the Crystal Report I'm currently running. (Crystal Report 8,VB6) I'm not quite sure how to rectify this as no one in the office has the actual Crystal Report program installed as we all use it from VB using the dsr files. I've also tried using the *.dsr file as the parameter but that returns the same error.

If anyone can point me to the right direction it'd be much appreciated!

Sorry for the ignorance as I've only been exposed to VB and Crystal Report for last couple wks for work exp.

Cheers

How To Export Crystal Report To Word
Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to export the output of a Crystal Report to a Word document using VB code? I know how to do it in the Crystal Report interface but don't know the command for exporting to Word document in VB6.

The reason for this is that I need to send the output via email to the customers and I assume they will have Word installed in their PCs.

I am using CR9.

Thanks.

Export Crystal Report To RTF Or Word
Actually I have a system which is written in VB6 which has the viewer to view the reports. However, when I tried to export the report into either RTF or Word format, the page numbering seemed to be distorted.
eg. The page numbering is Page N or Total of Pages
When viewing the report, it displays correctly, Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2
But when I exported it out and opened it again the page numbering becomes Page -1 of 1 on every page even though its supposed to be Page 1 of 2, Page 2 of 2 & etc.
Also, I found out, not all the pcs have this problem. I suspected that it depends on the version Microsoft Office which is used. Appreciate any feedback! Thanks in advance!

Crystal Report 8: Export Issues
Hi,

I've got a problem here when developing my application using the VB6 + CrystalReport8.0

To export the report generated (from the CRViewer in the VB6), I've first use this method:
i) Using the built-in export button from the CRViewer. However, when I export the report into CSV, the CSV file generated shows nothing eventhough there's value in the report.

ii) And so, in the same PC, same coding, I've amended a few lines, adding the export report coding. It works perfectly.

And so, I don't think it's the dll problem. And I can't really think of the cause. Pls. advice and thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jerry

Using VB6 To Open Crystal Report And Export It To Pdf
I wrote a script to query up about 50 ids.  Loop thru them and open up the crystal report and pass the ids then export it to pdf format.

I have 2 questions.
1.  Instead of doing the below statements each time is it possible to do a refresh?
    Set Report = crxApplication.OpenReport("test.rpt", 1)
    ...
    Set Report = Nothing
    Set crxApplication = Nothing

2.  Sometimes VB closes after it attempts to export. Any ideas?  This occurs just before I set the report = Nothing.
