Crystal Reports: Adding new data table to results data set

We are using SAP Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2010.
To enhance our program with a new report, we have created a new data table and added it to our results data set. The problem however is that it is not possible to refresh the results data set in the Crystal Reports editor. As the screenshot shows, a window appears where we are supposed to enter connection credentials, and then we get an error message.
We have already had this problem several times before. Once, when we did essentially the same thing (add a new data table), it worked. So it seems to work sometimes, and sometimes it does not. But: How can we avoid this problem? It is really annoying and so far, I have been unable to add the data table which I have created today. This is a big problem.

Display a report based on an form application

I'm new in report builder, i would be very grateful if i get answers to my question.
After creating a form application , using oracle forms, now i would like to get a report using REport Builder that displays all the data generated by the application.
Is there any way to get these data, without having to write from the begining all the procedures and functions in report buider.
Thank you in advance.
Save the data generated by your Forms application into an Oracle table, then use this table as your source in Oracle Reports.

Crystal Reports Loading Database info

I have SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and use it to edit reports we use with JobBOSS ERP system. These reports were all put in place before I started here and am just now learning Crystal Reports. I am trying to edit the reports but am having issues.
So when I open the report in Crystal Reports the Field Explorer is showing that the file being used to pull fields into the reports is a TTX file. I know nothing about TTX files and assumed I could just find the data in my tables and import it in but apparently that wont mix well from what I am understanding. I have no clue what to do with the TTX and being able to populate the fields on the page with data from another table.
Where do I start with this? All of my forms use the TTX to pull data. Does anyone have any resources that can help me with this?
To change this report, you must use the report version in the JobBoss production report folder (.rpt). Save the .rpt to a work area. Make changes and then place back in the folder retrieved from. You can add tables to this kind of report but cannot change the .ttx table. The report must be run from within Jobboss. Save the original .rpt to a save folder first. Call with questions.

VS2005 + Crystal Report error 'The Report Application Server failed'

I use VS2005, Crystal Report for VS2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I got a report, crystal report linked to a XSD, that displays perfectly when I call it from my application.
I added an 'image' field in my source table to add a an image to the table record (image in jpeg format). I store my image in the databse using VB.Net, the image is converted to an array of bytes. I added the field to my XSD file also, type : System.Byte().
Then I added the field to my report, now I get the message 'The Report Server failed'. I get this message on opening the report, the pop-up is displayed but never the report.
I read that when using Crystal Report & Stored Procs, it's best not to use BMP files, I tried JPG and PNG, didn't work either.
Any help? Please.
Thanks
If I right-click 'Insert Column' in my XSD it doesn't work, if I drag and drop the stored proc from Visual Studio's "Server Explorer" it works, go figure it out, but it works.

running a script from within crystal reports

I have an application that creates a report using crystal reports. The data for the report is created in db tables that are built on the fly and then deleted after the report has been created. I would like to save the database that create the report.
I have access to the reports, so I was wondering if it is possible to embed a script in the crystal report that would run when the report is created and move the data to another location, such as via a batch script.
Can anyone tell me if this can or cannot be done? Thanks for any thoughts.
Try this. In the .rpt, go to Database Export and Add Command as shown below.
I don't know what the proper SQL syntax is (the query in the sample image threw an error), but once you work it out, you could probably do it this way. This example from Business Objects uses this command as part of a larger question.
(However, since the original DB is immediately deleted, you'll have to specify a new database to put the table in. I don't know if that's possible.)
