Visual Basic :: Setting Field Value In Crystal Reports

Setting PaperOrientation In Crystal Reports
I have a report that I have created with CR8.5 and VB6 using the report designer. This report has a crosstab on it that sometimes exceeds the width of a page in portrait mode. Is there a way to change the paper orientation at runtime based on the width of the crosstab object?

I'd rather not always print in landscape mode since most of the time it is not required.

Thanks

Help! - Setting Orientation In VB6 Crystal Reports
I am using the Crystal Reports designer that comes packaged with VB 6. My question is how do I set the
width of the report? I would like the report to be in landscape. I know with the full version of Crystal
Reports, you use File, Printer Setup, but what is the equivalent with VB's crystal reports?

Setting Crystal Reports To Data To A Recorset
Hi team

I want to dynamically create an RS and then set the Crystal to look at it with "Database.SetDataSource myRS" (I'm Using the Crystal Reports Designer). But it doesn't work. It seems that Crystal is looking for a table rather than an RS. In DAO I could have created a table on the fly, but I can't see how to do that with ADO. Any bright ideas?

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

Setting Database Source For Crystal Reports Through VB Code
Hello everyone,

I have a Crystal Report which is viewed through a Crystal Report viewer. I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. I have not been able to figure out how to set the location of the database from VB code.

My code looks something like this... with most of the stuff you don't need to see ignored.

[...]

Dim theReport As New rptImmunizationAll
Dim theSelectFormula as String

[...]

theReport.RecordSelectionFormula = theSelectFormula
frmTheReportViewer.ShowReport(theReport)

... and in my frmTheReportViewer, my code is such:

Public Function ShowReport(ByVal report_in As Object) As Boolean

crvViewer.ReportSource = report_in
Me.ShowDialog()

End Function

"crvViewer" is a Crystal Reports viewer control in VB.NET.. I've found people with similar problems, but no solution as of yet.

thanks,

Dynamically Setting Database Location In Crystal Reports Using Vb6

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

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...

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?

Setting Logon Info And Parameters In SubReports For Crystal Reports
Need some help!

I have create a CR8.5 report that has two embedded subreports which are not linked to the main report. When calling the main report from VB6 I set the logon info and parameters. However I am unsure of how to set the logon info and parameters for the two subreports. All reports are based on Stored Procedure in a MS SQL DB. Some code examples would be helpful.

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 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 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 - 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?
