Visual Basic :: Crystal Reports - Change Currency Format

In Crystal Reports, How To Display Financial Reports (P & L, Balance Sheet Etc.) In Columnar Format
Dear All,

I am developing a Financial application using VB6, MS-Access & Crystal Reports 8.5. I am facing problems in certain reports. Some of the reports like Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet require the output to be printed in columnar format.

I have tried giving subreports for each section, i.e.; Assets & Liabilities, but then, the output is not coming in order as per the groups. The problem is even more where there are sub-sections in the right side column & left side column for example in Profit & Loss, where there are sub-sections for Gross Profit/Loss and Net Profit/Loss. In such cases, how to bring the total amount fields at the same horizontal level.
I hope someone can help me how to do the above.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards
Mahesh

Change The Database Location In Crystal Reports Sub Reports From VB During Runtime
I have several reports that were designed in Crystal Reports that have the DB location changed during runtime. When I move my database, or choose another copy of the DB that has a lot of records in it, my reports don't fire. I need to be able to Verify the database during runtime. I'm usiung VB6.0 and CrystalReports8.5 I've tried using Crystal's "Verify On Every Print" function, but I haven't had any luck. Here is the code I am using.

MyLocation = "C:mydatabase.mdb"
CRPE321.ReportFileName = "c:aptcom
eports eninfo.rpt"
CRPE321.DataFiles(0) = MyLocation
CRPE321.ParameterFields(0) = "ThisKey;" & Who.Text & ";true"
CRPE321.PrintReport

Also, does anyone know if changing the DataFiles location during runtime also effects the subreports. I don't think it does, but any input would be appreciative.

Change The Database Location In Crystal Reports Sub Reports From VB During Runtime
I've created a Report Viewer that displays Crystal Reports 8.5 reports. I have the DB location in Crystal Reports changed during runtime, but I can't get the location to change in the subreports at runtime as well. Also, by using my method of calling the reports, I can't get VB to pass any parameters to the Main report. Below is the code that I am using. I'm using VB 6.0 and CR 8.5

Dim MyNewKey
MyNewKey = Who.Text

' On Error GoTo KeepGoing

MyLocation = GetStringValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareAptCom", "AptCom DB Path")
strReportFile = "c:aptcom
eports eninfo.rpt"

Set CRReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
Set CrxApp = CreateObject("crystalruntime.application")
Set CRReport = CrxApp.OpenReport(strReportFile)
' Set CRReport.ParameterFields(0) = "ThisKey;" & MyNewKey & ";true"

' KeepGoing:

For Each dbTable In CRReport.Database.Tables
dbTable.SetLogOnInfo "", MyLocation, "", ""
dbTable.Location = MyLocation
dbTable.SetDataSource MyLocation
Next dbTable
CRReport.Database.Verify

CRReport.SQLQueryString = strSQL

frmReportViewer.Show
frmReportViewer.CRViewer1.ReportSource = CRReport
frmReportViewer.CRViewer1.ViewReport

Set CRReport = Nothing
Set CrxApp = Nothing
Set CRReport = Nothing

>>>>
I've tried using this method:

MyLocation = "C:mydatabase.mdb"
CRPE321.ReportFileName = "c:aptcom
eports eninfo.rpt"
CRPE321.DataFiles(0) = MyLocation
CRPE321.ParameterFields(0) = "ThisKey;" & Who.Text & ";true"
CRPE321.PrintReport

But, I can't get Crystal Reports to verify the database during runtime. The first way verifies the DB, but won't change the DB location of the subreports or pass parameters to the reports.

Any help would be appriciative.

Crystal Reports Format
i want to generate a autoincrement field in crystal reports how is it possible
ex format of report
date:
invoice no:

sno salesman productdesc tax rate qty amount

amount payable rs
thank u

here srno is the item no it is not stored in database
for each each invoice it shouls start from 1 and then
it should increment by one after each product
it is a preprinted format and how to filter it for a part invoice range
and after some products it should print in next page
because since this is preprinted if more items
is there and if it is not able to fit in same
bill then it should start priting the rest of items in next
bills (so after certain products in a invoice it should start printing in next bill) with crystal reports how is it possible using vb 6 application

QuickReport (.QRP) Format To Crystal Reports
I am re-engineering an application originally developed using Delphi to Visual Basic. The reporting feature of the application was using a reporting component by the name of QuickReports.

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a QuickReport (.QRP) to Crystal Reports format? Or of a standalone tool that would allow me to view the design of a QuickReport?

Also please note that I do not have any Delphi or QuickReport components installed on my PC.

Crystal Reports Date Format Issue
hi all, distraught, disgruntled and distressed. i really hope this is something simple and i've just been doing all kinds of crazy gymnastics because the trees were blocking my forest.

i'm creating a periodic report (dates given as params) but the data that i have to compare to the selected dates is of type 'number' on a remote as400.

i've been using string manipulations to get the date parts out and then the date conversion to put them back together to compare with the parameters. but at that point i get the error: "too many arguments have been given to this function". the month day and year formula fields are working properly...what gives?

(crystal syntax)CDate ({@TESTYR}, {@TESTMO}, {@TESTDY})@TESTYR =
Left (Right (REPLACE(REPLACE(CSTR({WRSCONV.WRDTRC}),",",""),".",""), 6), 4)@TESTMO =
IF LEN(REPLACE(REPLACE(CSTR({WRSCONV.WRDTRC}),",",""),".","")) = 9 THEN
Left (REPLACE(REPLACE(CSTR({WRSCONV.WRDTRC}),",",""),".",""), 1)
ELSE
Left (REPLACE(REPLACE(CSTR({WRSCONV.WRDTRC}),",",""),".",""), 2)

@TESTDY =
Left (Right (REPLACE(REPLACE(CSTR({WRSCONV.WRDTRC}),",",""),".",""),8 ),2 )
(/crystal)

i'm also trying various SQL date conversions but it doesn't like this:

SUBSTRING(CAST(WRSCONV."WRDTRC" AS CHAR), 5, 4) because of the casting, i believe.

the data is coming from server at another agency, so i haven't any control over the format

am i making this more difficult than it needs to be? am i going to be embarrassed tomorrow that i even posted this because it's such a no-brainer (i hope!)?

TIA!
becky

Crystal Reports Datasource Change
Hi folks,

Thanks to MKoslof yesterday, I managed to set up my application to view all reports through one CRViewer (Thanx again),

Today, I am trying to change the datasource of a report so that I do not need a different report for each query that displays the same fields.

The code I am using is:

Code:
Dim application As New CRAXDRT.application
Dim selectedreport As String
Dim CurrentRpt As CRAXDRT.Report

selectedreport = App.Path & "
eport1.rpt"
Set CurrentRpt = application.OpenReport(selectedreport)
'ShowReport
CurrentRpt.Database.SetDataSource DE_Test.rsByName

With Frm_ReportViewer
.Show
'code below courtesy of MKoslof
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
.CRV_Report.ReportSource = CurrentRpt
.CRV_Report.ViewReport
.CRV_Report.Zoom 100
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
End With
The problem is that the data in the report displays the original and not the changed recordset. Can anyone help?

Change Group In Crystal Reports
Can someone help me change the grouping in my crystal report through VB code? I want the user to choose either Group by Name or Group by Date from the VB interface and the report is printed with the selected grouping...

I found this on the forum but it doesn't work for me. It doesn't get into the For loop because CRReport.RecordSortFields.Count is returning 0:

Code:
Private Sub Change_Group(NewSortFieldName As String)

Dim SortField As CRAXDRT.SortField
Dim NewSortfld As CRAXDRT.SortField

Dim crxApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Set crxApp = New CRAXDRT.Application

Set crxApp = New CRAXDRT.Application

Dim CRReport As CRAXDRT.Report

Set CRReport = crxApp.OpenReport(App.Path & Report_Name, 1)

For Each SortField In CRReport.RecordSortFields

If NewSortFieldName = SortField.Field.Name Then

Set NewSortfld = SortField
Set SortField = CRReport.RecordSortFields(1)
SortField.Field = NewSortfld.Field
CRReport.Areas.Item("GH").GroupConditionField = SortField.Field

If SortOrder = "Ascending" Then
'SortField.SortDirection = crAscendingOrder
CRReport.Areas.Item("GH").SortDirection = crAscendingOrder
Else
'SortField.SortDirection = crDescendingOrder
CRReport.Areas.Item("GH").SortDirection = crDescendingOrder
End If

Exit For
End If
Next

End Sub

VB 6/Crystal Reports 9 - Change DB At Runtime?
I'm using the Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Runtime Library to view and print existing Crystal Reports in a VB6 application connecting to a SQL2000 database. Is there any way to change the database used by the report at runtime? I need to be able to switch between reporting against identical databases on different servers.

I've been trying to use the LogOnServer & LogOnServerEx methods of the report's CRAXDRT.Database object, but I've been getting an OLE DB error with description: "Data source name not found and no default driver specified". I'm not even sure that this is the correct approach, as the Crystal developer help states, "This method can be invoked only in formatting Idle mode", and I can't seem to find out what exactly "formatting Idle" mode is. I'm inclined to think that these methods aren't really what I want, but the Crystal documentation is less than wonderful, and I can't find anything helpful on their website.

Thanks in advance!

Can You Change Login Details On Crystal Reports?!!!
I am using VB6, MS SQL SERVER 7 and Crystal Reports 5

Here's my problem:

All the reports designed in CR5 use a username that is not password protected. I need to lock down this username with a password, but no reports generate once the password is put on. I have tried using the 'connect' property of the crystal report control but that doesn't seem to work either!

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Crystal Reports Won't Accept Change To Default Printer
(VB6, Crystal 9)

I've added all the printers on the computer to a combobox, so the user can select a printer to print from.

I'm using a method i found on this forum, to change the default printer - it stores the default printer, sets the newly selected printer as the default, then re-instates the old default printer. ( I could paste this code, but its a bit lengthy - its the class thats a modification of MSDN's article Q167735).

So i have a custom print dialog, and under the print button i have (where setprinter is the lengthy class):

Dim SetPrinter As New clsSetDefaultPrinter
Dim DeviceName As String
Dim smsg As String

DeviceName = cboPrinter.Text
If SetPrinter.SetPrinterAsDefault(DeviceName) Then
smsg = DeviceName & " -set"
Else
smsg = DeviceName & " -not set "
End If

MsgBox smsg, vbDefaultButton1, ""

MsgBox Printer.DeviceName & vbCrLf & Printer.DriverName & vbCrLf & _
Printer.Port, vbDefaultButton1, ""

MyReport.PrintOut False, 1, False

'destroy instance of printer class to restore printer to default
Set SetPrinter = Nothing

MsgBox Printer.DeviceName & vbCrLf & Printer.DriverName & vbCrLf & _
Printer.Port, vbDefaultButton1, ""
End Sub

See the messageboxes - they show that the default printer is indeed being changed, then restored. Yet the report is still being printed from the "default" printer - that is, its prints like the change never took place, from the original printer, not the newly selected printer.

Now whats most frustrating about this is if i run the above code in a seperate .exe, (a simple combo box which lists printers, and does the above swapping of printers), leave it open after i've changed it to the printer i want, then open the app with the above code in it, it WILL print to the printer that i want to change it to.

I've tried adding the MyReport.PrintOut :

MyReport.SelectPrinter Printer.DriverName, Printer.DeviceName, Printer.Port

But this crashes the app and shuts down vb.

Can anyone help me, i'm getting a bald patch where i'm scratching my head so much.

List Of Printers To Change Printer In Crystal Reports
I need to have a drop down list of all available printers on the computer so the user can change the printer before trying to print a crystal report. I've seen MKosolf's post on how to do it, parsing the chosen printer from a list and getting the driver name and port from that, but my question is how do I get what the driver name and port are into the list in the first place? I populate a list with:

Code:
Dim x As Printer
For Each x In Printers

listPrinters.AddItem x.DeviceName & ", " & x.Port & ", " & x.DriverName

Next

Is this correct?

Crystal Reports - Change The Database Connection *RESOLVED*
Me thinks a not so simple question!

Hi,

In VB (.net) you can view your database connection, if you have connected using the wizard in the:

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

and it looks a little something like this:

VB Code:
Me.OleDbConnection1.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=ITsMe;Data Source=C:codewh" & _ "ateverMyDatabase.mdb;Mode=Share Deny None;Extended Properties="""";Jet " & _ "OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & _ """"";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;Jet OLEDB:Global Pa" & _ "rtial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Pas" & _ "sword="""";Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False" & _ ";Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica " & _ "Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False"

This is very nice because I can easily change the Data Source= bit to make it equal whatever database I happen to be using, wherever it is.

Now when it comes to crystal reports, (my reports I have created using Crystal Report Wizard thingy, which I like) I setup where my database is to connect to in the wizard. This would be fine but my database location could change to anything at run time depending on what database the user selects and so I want to be able to change the database source programatically like I am with the database connection thing show above.

The problem is I can't!
I can't find anything like the Me.OleDbConnection1.ConnectionString =...... bit anywhere for the Crystal Report connection and I can't see how else to do it. Any Ideas?

If I connect my Crystal Reports to datasets (so in effect there is no direct databse connection), I get problems using multiple datasets, and a window asking for database username, passwords etc appears when i try to display my report. I really don't want to do it this way.

In the search for my answer I have worked through most threads on this forum and the Crystal Decision Support forums and found nothing of help and so am posting here cos the Crystal Decision Support forums threads hardly ever get replies and you Guys nearly always come up with the goods

Cheers

URGENT Change Dbpath Of Crystal Reports At Runtime

How can i change db path, when it is protected. Help me please

Problem With Page Break On Data Change In Crystal Reports 8
Hi all,

I've got a problem with Crystal Reports 8 (not so much a problem, more can't figure out how to do it).

I have a report linked to a Stored Procedure in SQL Server, which returns data ordered by a particular field. This works fine and prints the report in the order shown below

HEADER

XXX
XXX
YYY
YYY
etc.

What I have been asked to do now is make it so that the when the data changes in the "Sort Order" field that we can force a page break so that each group is on a serparate page like below.

HEADER

XXX
XXX
Page Break Here

HEADER

YYY
YYY
etc.

Can someone please advise on how this can be done, as I'm relatively new to Crystal Reports, or point me somewhere that I can find an example.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

**RESOLVED**Dynamically Change TextColor Of Formula In Crystal Reports
I have a formula which resides in a subreport. The results of this formula are either "Pass" or "Fail". I would like the textcolor for the result to be displayed in green for "Pass" and red for "Fail".

Anyone ever done something like this before. Not sure if I should be attempting to change the color in the Initialize event procedure of my main report or handling directly in the formula itself.

Dynamically Change Connectionstring And Database During Runtime /Crystal Reports
hi,
I have to write a prog in which i can decide during runtime which kind of database(MSSQL 7 or Access) my prog is
using. I also have to design my Reports with ADO-Connectivity(no ODBC). The connection String
the database saved in the registry.
So i wrote this piece of code:

set m_rpt = m_appTheApp.OpenReport(m_ReportFileName)

for iTable = 1 to m_rpt.Database.Tables.Count
m_rpt.Database.Tables(iTable).SetLogOnInfo ConnectionString,NameAndLocationOfDatabase , LogInName,Password
m_rpt.Database.Tables(iTable).Location = LocationOfDatabase
If Not m_rpt.Database.Tables(iTable).TestConnectivity = true then
MsgBox "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten"
End If
next iTable

'm_rpt.database.LogOnServer "pdsmon.dll", ConnectionString,LocationAndNameOfDatabase, LogInName, Password

m_vntRptPk.AddReport m_rpt
CRVwr.ReportSource = m_vntRptPk
CRVwr.ViewReport

If I do so my prog produces at the line where I call TestConnectivity i've got a Messagebox, titled "Database Error",
with no Messagetext within it. Further after calling CRVwr.ViewReport i've got the same messagebox and a new Messagebox
titled "Crystal Smart Viewer" and the Messagetext "Server has not connect til yet" (hope i translate it correctly).

If I add the line m_rpt.database.LogOnServer ... i've got the also the "Server has not ..." text as above after the LogOnServer-Line

Do anyone of you knows what i've done wrong?
Every help would be highly welcome.

Currency Format Help Please
Hi

Please can someone help, I use the code below to enter numbers into a textbox, but i need the numbers in the textbox to be in a currency

Code:
Private Sub cmdNum_Click(index As Integer)
Select Case cmdNum(index).Caption
Case "0" To "9"
txtTender.SetFocus
txtTender.Text = Format(cmdNum(index).Caption, "Currency")
SendKeys cmdNum(index).Caption
End Select
If cmdNum(index).Caption = "." Then
txtTender.SetFocus
SendKeys "."
End If
End Sub
I have added the curency bit in but it only works for the first number pushed say for example if you push 65 the textbox displays $6,00 indtead of $65,00.

Please can someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

Many thanks

Currency Format
I have created a program with multiple check boxes. Each time a check box is selected I want it to add a currency amount of .50 to the second text box and then add the amount in the first text box to that of the second and populate the total in the third text box. The first time a check box is selected it is accurately showing the amount in the second box as a currency of $0.50 but does not total the amount into the third box. The second time a check box is selected it goes to .5 but this time it does total the third box. As subsequent check boxes are selected it is adding the numbers up accurately...but no longer showing them as currency. Please view the code below and let me know if you can see what I'm doing wrong.

Private Sub chkToppings_Click(Index As Integer)
If txtToppings.Text = "0.00" Then
txtToppings.Text = FormatCurrency(0.5, 2)
Else: txtToppings.Text = Val(txtToppings.Text) + FormatCurrency(0.5, 2)
txtTotal.Text = Val(txtPizza.Text) + Val(txtToppings.Text)
End If
End Sub

Thank YOU

Format Decimal, Currency Like...
Frustrating, Looking for some serious fast help from anyone, thanks for any replys of help. My problem might be easier than I can see... What I have is a textbox with $0.00 and I want to be able to click any of the buttons, 1-0. When I click 1 for the first time I want the textbox to = $0.01, If I click button 1 again, next to = $0.11 and so on = $1.11 -> $11.11 -> $111.11, so I need to keep a format I guess, but I can't seem to get the format code to work. I been working with this for several hours, I didn't ask for help because I believed I could figure it out myself but seem to be stupidified. I know how to make the string continue... example textbox = textbox & "1" but next I need the format = "$0.00" Appreciate any help from people. Thanks

I use format("txtbox.text", "Currency") which works when the values is less than $9999.99, but when I want a number say like 123456.78, it will give me $123456, w/ no decimals. I wanna be able to enter in dollars amounts less than a million and be able to format it like $999, 999.99

How is this done?

Thx.

How Format A Textbox For Currency
How to format a textbox for currency without using Maskedit Box. The only way at the moment is read the textbox and write back to the textbox with format function in the coding. This somehow creates some complication in the multiuser environment because the data is bound to a table.
Because it writes back to the textbox with the currency format "#,###,##0.00" it's actually changing the field.

Is it possible using API? Or is there any possible way where the format can be set and without have to use Maskedit or Richtextbox.

Please advise..

Thanking in advance

Currency Format And Validation
my application needs to allow user enter different currency, and I want to validate that currency code is a valid one, and format it as well.
an example:

if the user enters 100 and if the windows setting is USD, then it needs to display 100.00USD. if the user enters 100NZD, then I need to validate if NZD is a valid currency code, if it is, display it as 100.00NZD.

I looked at the format, FormatCurrency. but both seem to only use the windows setting for the currency. is there any built in function that parses a string, validates currency code, and reformat the string into currency format?

Thanks.

Currency Format In Bound Textbox
Can someone help me out, I'm new to VB? I'm trying to currency format a db bound textbox. When I use "txtFields(3) = Format(txtFields(3).text, "Currency")" on a change event, I can't modify my data properly because it's triggered on the first keystroke.
I'm running vb5 and can't find any help on MS.

Thanks Thinker, the lostfocus event is good but formating does not appear on the form_load event. How can I trigger it to load with formats?
