I am editing a report that was built by someone else and I am using iReport to do so. I am very new to SQL and iReport. All I've been asked to do is take the current report and add a text box and text field that display the title "Email" and below it have the text field hold and display the variable "shiptoemail".
I do all of this easy enough; my issue is that whenever I hit build it compiles just fine (It doesnt exactly run though) but when ever I upload the report to FishBowl it's as if i never edited a single thing. Yet when i reopen the report i just posted back into iReport- my changes are there.
Using ireport plugin I also had to face the problem but luckily I found a trick which is after changing / editing your report just click on the xml view lies on the formating bar and then save your report and check the changing that you made during editing.
Thats it.

I've used TinyMCE in the past but I've been away from it for a while. I set up a page with the basic implementation from the dashboard on tiny.cloud. It works great with one small exception.
The text editing area is closed when it loads. They only way I can get it to open is by adding the tinycomments plugin and clicking add. When I do so the text from the underlying textarea element shows in the editor as expected. The text editing area displays as long as the comment editing box is displayed.
I've dug for a setting to change this behavior but was unable to find it. I've also tried removing plugins and toolbar and stripped it down to just the 'selector' tag. Results are always the same in Firefox and Edge.
Can anyone help?
So when using Qt to build user interfaces, you all know that .ui files (forms) open in Designer mode by default, and that if you manually switch back to the Editor, then this message appears "This file can only be edited in Designer-mode".
Well, for some reason, and at some point, my file now opens BY DEFAULT in the editor, and the message does not show up. Worse, when manually switching to Designer mode, the main editing field is gray and empty and none of my stuff shows up ... Also no scroll bars or anything.
EDIT : actually, it is whichever form was loaded last that appears. And it is editable and all ... only the drop-down menu with the file name clearly indicates that it is MY file that is opened. When I perform an edit, then the edit is performed to this same last-opened form, and is reflected upon compiling. My display remains unchanged to the state that it had the last time that I was able to open it in the Designer.
EDIT : Also, along with the fact that my .ui file now opens by default in the Editor, it is also editable there like any other source file. But edits don't seem to bother, I modified some stuff or added gibberish, and it never showed after compiling nor did the compiler ever complaine ...
What's going on ? What did I do ? I have no crash nor any recent weird events to report ... It just suddenly started happening.
Thanks in advance for any clues,
Charles
I've been working on this for the last couple hours. I placed the following code into the textbox Border Width Property (this applies to a table not a matrix):
=IIF(Fields!SortOrder.Value = 2,"3pt","1pt")
Once I click OK on the expression editor and OK on the Text Box Properties editor, I can go back into the properties, and the Border Width property is again set to the default 1pt.
After playing around with it for a very long time I finally started getting the text box to behave the way I wanted, but the property was still set incorrectly. However the XML of the report showed it being set with the above expression. So SSRS wasn't properly parsing the XML until the run-time of the report (at least that's what I'm assuming). I have been able to set the Bold property on the same text box and all other text boxes within that row. However, all of the properties in the Border section of the TextBox property list seem to reset themselves. I've only had on occurrence of the report actually doing what I wanted (as mentioned above), but the property displayed through SSRS was still incorrect. I guess I need a way to trigger SSRS to reprocess the XML.
Things I have tried:
-closing and reopening report
-closing and reopening solution
-closing and reopening Visual Studio
-restarting computer
I have found the answer!
I was getting to the properties by right-clicking on the Text-Box and selecting "Text Box Properties". However, if I open the properties side window (View->Properties Window... or press F4), I see all of the properties I was setting via XML.
Basically, there are two places to find the properties and you want to go with the side-bar one. The right-click menu appears to be a simplified set of properties.
I was able to set specifically the width of the top border for a set of text boxes and I got the look I wanted. Thanks for anyone who looked at this and I hope this helps anyone else who has a similar issue.
I have problems to view excel report from iReports 2.0.2 because it does not want to go out when I click the preview button to excel. It just appears in the folder only. When I open the excel file in the report, I see the data does not follow the order of table row and column.
What I want is when I click the preview button excel, then the report will continue to view direct from the report and the alignment follow the row and column.
iReport 2, unlike the 3.5 or greater versions, doesn't have the ability to show preview within it the application. This especially applies to excel reports. You can set a specific external application for each export type in the options dialog. As for the formatting problem, you have not posted any code so I doubt anyone could help. You probably made an error during downgrade of the report.
Background
I have a Crystal Reports 2008 file that came my way from a former employee's files; I'm tasked with making some changes.
Problem
When I open the report, I am told that the "default printer is not available".
Then all of the fields are collapsed in the main report.
I can fix this by going into page settings and manually setting the page size to 8.5x11, etc.
However, subreports still appear "collapsed" and changing page settings does not make them visible again.
Screenshot
This is how the subreport looks when it is opened.
Attempted Fixes
Manually dragging the sections to expand them. This produces no results as it appears they are collapsed too far to select any of the sections to pull down.
Page setup in Crystal Reports -- works on the main page, but does not work for sub-reports.
Looking for Crystal bugs on the internet. I believe this to be a bug, but I haven't been able to find a source that confirms it.
Notes
I know there is data in the subreports, and mousing over the subreport will randomly highlight orange boxes around fields I can't see (the tooltip will then display the name of the data element for a split second)
This looks as though all of the sections within the report are suppressed or hidden, and you don't have the Show Hidden Sections option enabled.
I suggest enabling the Show Hidden Sections option - in older versions of Crystal this can be done by selecting Options... from the File menu, then checking the Show Hidden Sections checkbox in the Design view section of the Layout tab in the Options dialog.
Clicking OK after checking this option should result in all suppressed/hidden sections becoming visible.
