Hiding database expert and table explorer in crystal reports - crystal-reports

Is it possible to hide the database expert and table explorer when sharing a report with someone? in other words user who runs the report just need to use the select expert or parameter field programmed.
Thanks

You can give the user one of the 3rd-party viewers. See list here.

Project Server SSRS report - One report dynamically including multiple reports

I am not an expert at SSRS but have played around with it to know my basic way around it but I am stuck on this one. This is for Project Server 2010. I am working on a task to create two reports, and combine them at the end. First report, reportA is for a single project, pulling all of it's information. reportB is for a "Portfolio" of the projects on the server.
I am being asked to create a report of them merged. I guess we will call this reportC. reportC will have reportB at the very top, listing all of the projects and other basic information. If reportB has 10 projects listed, 10 reportAs (having information for every single project listed) and all their information, will be aggregated to the bottom of the report.
I tried looking into subreports but do not think this is what I am looking for because it doesn't look as if subreports can be added dynamically, unless I'm wrong. Any ideas on how to easily complete this? I appreciate any help I can get.
EDIT: Here is an example. No it wont be aligned like that. They gave me their example in Excel. It does not necessarily mean that reportC has to be through Excel. Could this be possible running a script of some kind or similar?
Basic Example
I recently did something very similar myself.
What you could do, is in report A, place a table at the bottom where each row is a sub-report (report B). This would allow for all the passed data (name, report id, etc.) to generate visible sub-reports beneath the origin report.
Then, if you want each sub-report on its own page, you can go under group properties and add a page-break after each group.

Pentaho Report Designer for MongoDB

I just downloaded Pentaho Business Analytics to try its reporting features on a Windows 8 machine. Currently I'm trying to use Report Designer to create a report for a MongoDB datasource, so following the guidelines from the book, I'm using these steps:
Select the Data Tab.
Right Click on the Data Sets item.
Select MongoDB from the menu.
Click on the plus button to create a query
And that is the point where things differ from the book, because I get this form:
According to the book, I should be able to enter a host name, port, and have the option to select a collection, but the form I get doesn't allow me that. Does anyone face this issue, or know how to fix it?
The options are hidden; stretch the window!

crystal report cross tab disappear when edit the procedure name

I have existing crystal report which is using stored procedure to bind the report field.
NOw, i need to change this procedure to another procedure version where some extra fields are existed.
So, i have change it from "Edit Command" by clicking at alias.
ProbleM: it does not show the "Cross tab" existed in report and all other things are fine.
Please share me what could be the cause.
Thanks
Normally if you make any changes to the datasource or update the datasource, Cross tab will be resetted and all its formatting will be lost and cross may also disappear.
Check whether the fields used in cross tab still exists after updation of the datasource. If those are missing then also there is possibility of losing the cross tab.
In this case you need to recreate the cross tab.

IReport Document Has No Pages

I have encountered same problem 'Document Has No Pages' issue as described in Jasper Reports And IReport Issue. I applied the solution provided in the given link and it started working. I am stuck behind the concept. My main point of concern is, when we are using detail band and we don't give a data query it gives Document has No Pages error. As soon as we give a dummy query in data query, it starts working. Kindly note that, i am using a subDataSet for a table component. That's where IReport generates this issue. Any pointers would be helpful.
Keep in mind that This is not an error but this is how it is configured to do.
This happens when you don't have results to display in the report from the database. But still you can set option what to do in this situation.
In Jaspersoft iReport 5.6.0
1. right click the report
2. Go to properties
3. Find **When No Data**
4. Select one from the options
There you'll see some options as No Section, No Detail, Blank Page, No Data Section, No pages.
Choose the one suits you. -_(--)-_

Crystal Reports Parameter/Drill Down Issue

I'm currently using CR 2008 for design and running my reports in InfoView. I have a fairly standard report with about 6 groupings and 2 details sections. The groupings are all hierarchichal and can be drilled into. The report contains 5 parameters that the user has access to edit in Infoview.
My problem occurs only when users change any parameter on the report and then attempt to drill down in the report. The result always ends up that the drill down will display the very first Group, with drill down, in the report rather than the one they selected to drill into. If a user enters the report and drills into any group without changing the parameters, everything works as expected.
Has anyone ever seen this kind of behavior or know of a reason that this might be happening? Please help.
Thank You,
Patrick Johnson
This is a bit of a reach, but when you change the parameters, are you refreshing the data (ie. don't use the saved data that was pulled originally). I believe something may be going wrong because of that.
Always, always, always choose to refresh your data.
