Crystal Reports Date/Field


I am currently using a Crystal Report (8.0) which has ADO connection to MS Access 97 database.

I have a Date/Time field (Short format) in my database which contains the date/time 1/23/03 10:43:45 AM. For some reason the Crystal report shows this as being PM not AM.

Is it because I am using a short date? Anyone...

Date Field - Crystal Reports
I have a report in Crystal Reports which works fine, except in a PC. In that machine the report prints well, except the date fields that appeared in an empty way. I've worked with Regional Settings, fonts, pass the date to string, but the report doesn't work.

Have you experienced something similar? Have you any suggestion I could follow in order to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Formatting Date Field In Crystal Reports
I am using SQL Server as my database and I have a date/time field in the database. I am using a command object to pull information from the SQL Server database and displaying it in report form using Crystal Reports 8. My problem is that I only want the date displayed in the date field in Crystal Reports. I do not know how to format the incoming date/time to just display the date. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Crystal Reports Reportobject Check For Date Field
Hi All,

Going out of my friggin mind trying to work this bloody thing out.  Appreciate any help. I've searched everywhere but suspect I probably don't know the right keywords because this is so easy and I shouldn't be finding it so hard.

Using win xp, sp2, vb 6, crystal 10
referencing craxdrt

All I am trying to do is check to see if the stupid report object in my report is a date field.  How hard can it be?

My code so far:

Declarations
CODE    Dim CRXSections As CRAXDRT.Sections
    Dim CRXSection As CRAXDRT.Section
    Dim CRXReportObjects As CRAXDRT.ReportObjects
    Dim CRXReportObject As Object

Crystal Reports: Highlight Field Based On Value Of Other Field

The Field Is Not Known With Crystal Reports 10
I have integrated a crystal report (v10) vs visual basic.
My report has one subreport... I have linked this one with the report main. The first time I execute the report is ok. All information attached is displayed sucessfully. However, if I execute it again with the same or different data (filter with combo boxes) crystal reports shows me the next error: 'The field is not known' associated with CRViewer1.ViewReport method
Do you have any idea about this error?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks

Crystal Reports Formula Field
Hi
I got a database column which has number values like
480, 495 , 615, 630
which is equivalent to
480 = 8am (which is like 480/60=8)
495 = 8.15am
615 = 10.00am
630 = 10.15 am
i get this values from ctDEdit control, which gives numbers for time.
Now i have to show this number values as time in crystal reports. so i thought of having a formula field.
its easy to get hours and minutes from this number:
its goes like this
(615/60)=10.25
so 10 is hours
(25*60)=1500, here 15 is minutes.
can any one please help me to do this in a formula field, ie to show the time as 10.15am for number 615.
i hope im clear.
thanks

Crystal Reports Field Suppression
Hi all - in my report, the details section can show up to 8 fields. The fields are aligned atop each other, like so:

field1
field2
field3
field4
field5
field6
field7
field8

I suppress the fields if they are null. The problem is that the report appears very disorganized and has too much white space. I need to be able to modify the positions of the fields so that they appear consecutively. Example: if fields 2 and 5 are suppressed, I want the report's details section to show like this:

field1
field3
field4
field6
field7
field8

but instead it comes out like this:

field1

field3
field4

field6
field7
field8

and the spaces make it look horrible! How to fix this?

Crystal Reports-Multiple Values For One Field
I have a VB6 program that contains a form that allows the user to select 3 different criteria. These criteria in turn are used by the program to pass an sql statement to the crystal report 7 object within the vb program.
The problem I am having is that I need to pull data from two different tables within the same Access database. The first table is the main table with information on machines (i.e. IPAddress, name, location, repairtime etc). The second table is linked via a generic ID number field, and contains the names of the maintenance personnel who repaired the machine. In some cases, there are several people working on one machine. I am currently using the sql statements to pull information from an Access query that combines the two tables. The problem is that if there is more than one maintenance person who repaired the machine, the query will list that record several times.
Any suggestions on how to get around this? I want all of the names to show on the report for any given ID number.

Using A Parameter Field In Crystal Reports - Very Easy One
I am new to Crystal Reports. I need to filter a query
with a where clause. I guess I need to insert a
parameter field here. I've tried but failed a couple
of times to get that thing to use. Can someone here
walk me through the process of successfully creating
and using a parameter field in Crystal Reports. To
make it easier, let me imagine a situation where I
have a table called [My Friends] and I need to
retrieve all the friends of mine who stay in Delhi. So
I need a query something like:

select * from [My Friends] where [City] = 'Delhi'

Now I create a simple report using the Report Expert
where I select one table [My Friends] and all the
fields and I have the report in front of me, showing
all my friends and their addresses, wherever they
live. Now, I need to place this filter. Please take it
from here.

Crystal Reports Formula Field Charting
I am not a Crystal expert, I normally would be using VB but this project requires a report written in Crystal and I have no access to VB. Any suggestions would be great.

I have a report with a field: {StartTime} that is being pulled from a subreport: ASubrpt.rpt.

I the main report I have a formula field: {RoundedTime} that rounds the time from {StartTime} in ASubrpt to the nearest minute by fives. (example 7:22 would be 7:20).

Now, I need to graph and cross tab the count of records on the change of {RoundedTime}.

Please advise. I have even tried using the Charting on Print-Time Formulas pdf from Business Objects.


If there was a way to format the StartTime field in ASubrpt to be rounded and then create the chart in the subreport then I could insert it into the main report, but I do now know if you can format the time like that w/o a formula field. And then would it even be chartable?


Thanks in advance!

Crystal Reports 9: Formula Field Alignment
I have the following Formula Field in the detail section of a report…
If IsNull({ado.AMOUNT}) = False Then
   Formula = {ado.amount}
Else

Crystal Reports Table Linking Via Field Data
I have a problem handed from what I believe is a poorly designed database and having to produce a crystal report from it.

The story unfolds....

The database is in MySQL, there are a number of tables and some of these have fields with references linking to primary keys in other tables (all good and well). Except...

Some of the tables have memo/ntext fields with the primary key references in csv format. i.e.
table: mytable has a primary key of mytableref and has some records
another table: othertable has its own primary key and a mytableref MEMO/NTEXT field with values such as "1,2,3" -field data.

Not too bad as the information is built up into VB SQL string statements using the "IN" command to get the information from tables, however I have argued to the DB designer that - it should not have been this way and that the csv values should be in a table on its own so we can still use his "IN" statements in SQL but can visually link the tables via Crystal Reports. Crystal Reports XI in particular does not show memo fields in the table linking expert. Plus, because it is not proper relational, he is making a rod for his own back when coming to manage the data. i.e. he would have to write lots of lovely VB code to do INSTR and REPLACE when it comes to remove the primary record.

Now, I think that is a poor design. What do you think? (So I can pass it onto him) ?

I know its not very good and that it will suffer performance issues (he has to do LIKE '% statements to check for matches on some of his code. sigh.
but i would like to know what you think and perhaps I am totally wrong and you CAN do field-data linking with Crystal Reports via the front-end designer (it works via SQL code being passed to CR, but you cannot visually link the data for grouping). Phew. Thanks for spending half the day reading my thread

Crystal Reports - How To Display Text Block Stored In Blob Field.
I'm trying to display text stored in a MySQL database blob field in a crystal report. It won't display the text because crystal reports interprets the field as a picture type. So if the blob field has a graphic stored in it, then it displays just fine. The only way I can get a large block of text to display is to store it in a longtext field. The problem with this is that I want to just have one column in my table that will either store a large block of text or an image. I know MySQL allows me to do this, but crystal reports doesn't seem to know how to handle it when it comes time to display it. Does anyone know a way around this problem without creating 2 separate columns in the table?

Sort By DATE Using Crystal Reports
OS = Windows XP SP2; Visual Basic 6 - Enterprise Edition; Crystal Reports XI - Developers Edition

I am using VB 6 to create a front-end program that creates some data-sets and calls Crystal Reports to print the contents of the data sets. One of the datasets is called "InventoryHistory".
TableName: InventoryHistory
fields:
dbPartNumber
dbLocation
dbQtyOnHand
dbEnterDate
dbEnterTime
etc.

In the VB application, I am using the sql "Insert" statement to populate the InventoryHistory table.
Insert into InventoryHistory(dbPartNumber, dbLocation, dbQtyOnHand, dbEnterDate , dbEnterTime, etc...) values (....SQL & "'" & Format(Date, "MM/DD/yyyy") & "', "'" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & "', " ...);

My problem is, The crystal report detail section must be sorted according to TIME within DATE. The TIME does not show on the report.

01/04/2008 (160825) Part#45 Location-Bin 10
01/04/2008 (125845) Part#82 Location-Bin 6
01/02/2008 (013022) Part#5 Location-Bin 123
12/31/2007 (182233) Part#34 Location-Bin 13
12/31/2007 (144532) Part#14 Location-Bin 23
12/31/2007 (051054) Part#8 Location-Bin 32
12/20/2007 (152933) Part#100 Location-Bin 1

In the example above, the time is shown within the "(...)" (160825) = 4PM, 8 minutes, 25 seconds; (125845) = 12 noon, 58 minutes, 45 seconds, etc.

How can I sort these so that the records appear in the correct order?

I tried "Record Sort Expert" on dbEnterDate (Desc), dbEnterTime (Desc). It didn't work. The 2007 dates printed first before the 2008.

Date Range On Crystal Reports 8.5
Hi all,

I'm making a project that ended in Crystal reports 8.5, sorted in date.
The problem come that the crystal reports will retrieve all data I have.
Since my data is bigger and bigger, can the expert he tell me how to
make the one sort option on span of date we need, then my report will
show just what mentioned date range.

The logic would be : I select the date range of the report before
printed.

Thanks/

Date Range For Crystal Reports 8.5 With VB 6.0
Hi experts. I'm a beginner with VB & Crystal reports.

I'm currently working on VB project and Crystal reports 8.5. I had
completed my project and now come to Reports. Can I ask you all,

the crystal reports will appear within the date range mentioned.

What is the string?

Where should the string we place?

Can anybody help me?

Thank you.
Teddy
