I need some assistance to diagnose an issue with crystal reports overlapping occurs in one of my reports where Cross tab is being used inside sub-report , the crosstab overlaps the next section, this happen just when we run the report through our web site, while it is working fine in Crystal report designer ,our current version of Crystal run time is 13_0_7 it run in 32 bit mode , the report was working fine in Crystal 2008 runtime SP3 before we upgrade our system to use the 13_0_7 version.
Thanks in advance !

Initially Dynamic cascading parameters were not working for existing reports written by other analysts. The analysts are using XP systems. When they open the reports, their prompts populate correctly. Mine are blank. We downloaded 2013 to see if it was fixed in this version since XI is so old and is not officially supported on Windows 7. For one day the reports dynamic prompts were populating correctly and we were all excited. I continued on modifying the report, but had an issue and the application got closed non-gracefully. Now no dynamic prompts are populating in the report that was working yesterday. And again, any report that I open with dynamic cascading prompts do not populate. This has been an ongoing issue that we were excited that a resolution had appeared, but now we are back to square one. One of the other analysts was able to open the report again in XI and see the prompts correctly. This is a standalone report. We do not have a Crystal Report Server. We do not have Business View Manager. This issue is occuring in the designer for crystal reports on my computer only. When i copy the report to our test server and use our third party viewer(datalink) the prompts work fine.
Furthermore: Originally because of non-administrative privileges, I had my ODBC Drivers setup in user DSN. With the help of an Admin user, i setup the drivers in System DSN. I reloaded the original production report that I was trying to modify and set the location to my new dev odbc connections. But that still did not load the dynamic parameters.

From Datalink Viewer
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
This looks like a connection issue. Is the new OS 64 bits ? If it is, you need to create the ODBC connection using the tool placed in this path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
OK. This appears to be one solution. I was working with another laptop, that had a working crystal reports version. BUT, i had to do the whole maximumrowsets fix. Well, I must have messed up because the working crystal reports started doing the same thing. Oops. So I uninstalled crystal reports, deleted any of the registry keys associated with it, deleted any of the folder locations, rebooted and reinstalled and voila...it worked again. so then i used
this site and it continued to work as desired. This probably isnt the only solution, but it definitely worked for me.
I'd also like to thank campagnolo-1 for his tireless assistance.
My new company got some legacy crystal report 8.5. Now I need to look into one of them because it runs too long. I run the rpt file using crystal report. I need to know how long it runs without keep an eye on it because it may run long time. Any idea? Thanks. I am fairly new to crystal report
BTW, it runs against a sql server 2005 database. I wouldn't use sql profiler until there is no other way to do it.
You're using CR 8.5 or these reports were written on 8.5?
I can't speak about extremely old versions of CR, but any reasonably recent version has this information by clicking on "Report" -> "Performance Information"
I have a report that I run and comes up with different characters based on the {race} field. For example if {race} = Chinese in the report viewer it translates "Chinese: in Chinese characters and for any other race it does the same.
Is this a setting in Crystal reports that I can change this to.
Also if i run the report on a different PC with Crystal runs fine.
What could be the setting that is causing this in Crystal Reports XI
Thanks in advance
Here are the steps:
Click Start > Control Panel.
Double-click Regional and Language Settings.
Change the current language to the one preferred. Click Apply > OK. Restart the OS if necessary.
Restart Crystal Reports designer.
The user interface language has been changed.
On one PC same formula or report is working properly, but not on the others. So what should i need to check in it to solve this issue. Operating System and version of crystal report are same at both places.
Most of the time it will be the crystal run times. What are you using to view the report?
We use crystal reports 11.5 and for some reason one of our Report files all the reports are off center in the report preview and when you export to PDF but this happens on ONLY a couple PC's, others work fine.
Any thoughts? Any machine specific settings for Crystal Reports that handles this behavior?
Thanks!
default printer settings? report page setup?
