I really need to make a full list of every record in our database. The problem is that if the record is missing a phone number or an address, crystal reports doesn't print it.
Phone number and address aren't necessarily always inputted in our database, but I definitly need all records included on this report, even if those fields are missing.
I really have no idea how to get these missing records included in the report, but when I delete the Phone column I see a lot of the missing records appear.
Check your joins first. Make sure that you are not linking by either of those 2 fields.
Also check your format session to see if there is any suppression condition. Sometimes when copying behavior between reports, those conditions are left behind from the previous report.
Looks like you are making inner joins for the tables which populate that data.. for these type of requirements it is suggested to use outer joins on the tables that have all data... so that you can get all records if some other tables doesn't have the required information

I have a report pulling all fields from a single SQL Server table that works well. I need to add a second table to pull additional data, but doing so causes the entire report to go blank and number of records to drop to 0, from 242 without the added field from the second report. I have no grouping in the report either.
Reviewing Database Expert Links I see multiple links between the two tables, but the field in question, (CUSTPO_27, a String field), does not appear in the original table and therefore has no link. The field needs to be in the Details section of the report along with the data from the original table.
I have run Verify Database and get the "The database is up to date" message.
Running Dependency Checker finds no errors, even with the troublesome field added.
I am fairly new to Crystal Reports, but feel like I am missing a step to be able to see the second table field in the report, so any insight or direction would be greatly appreciated.
I would be happy to add code, but I don't see where to view the code in Crystal, (again, I am a newbie!)
Adding that field probably forced Crystal to join to a new table, and that join failed to find a matching record. So check your join logic.
Crystal doesn't update your database. It's Read Only.
I'm a very new user of Crystal Reports with no training but with a very light background in programming.
I have been working on a report which should show me some information regarding the order status of parts within my company. I have modified an existing report which had a lot of the information I was looking for and have added several fields containing more information I want to look up (information like stock, delivery date, suppliers and partnumbers). I have one last field I want to add to the report, which shows me the name of the supplier where the part is ordered.
Problem:
When I add this field in the report, the groups where there is no information for this field disappear. When I remove the same field again, the missing groups return.
I have tried to look everywhere for an option or function which suppresses a group when a field is null but can not find anything. I also have tried to add an isNull function to return a certain value when the field is empty, but with no results. Unfortunately I can't review the returned values because the group has disappeared when I add the field.
This problem might have to do with the fact I started working from an existing report, but I have not been able to find a reason to believe so.
Update
I have made some pictures showing the problematic result and the SQL-Query (I can only link to the folder in Onedrive because I'm not allowed to post more than two links at the same time):

Created a stored procedure which i pushed to my crystal report. The thing is some fields are showing blank even though data is returned in the query. I have retested the query, Verify the database over and over but nothing
Thanks for all the help but I figured out the problem. I had a join on 2 tables that have the same field names which I did not rename in the query. The 2 fields that weren't showing were the ones that are similar. I renamed those fields in the select statement and my data is now showing [silly me :)]
I added 2 additional databases to my report(Emp and Unemp). I verified all the links and they were correct. The problem is "when I add the new fields (from the new databases) to the report, all of the fields in my report disappear." This disappearing occurs in while in preview. Also, when I remove the newly added fields all of the fields in the report reappear. Can someone please help?
So, you had a working Crystal Report that originally pulled from 1 table. Then you added 2 new tables and all your records disappear. Are you sure that the new tables (Emp and Unemp) are populated? Are they joined correctly to your main table?
Just because Crystal tries to auto-link tables for you when you add them doesn't mean you should trust it to do the job correctly. It might have added some extra joins that don't belong there.
Check your joins and record selection criteria. Something there is causing zero records to be pulled (look at lower right portion of window for Records Read).
You might also do a Database, Verify Database to verify the database is "synced" with the report.
I am using Crystal Report2008.I have user table, this table is linked with other table such as devises, photos, videos, emails, notes, texts by its Uid and users have record in all different tables. I want a report which shows that how many record each user has in each table.
I am also getting this error: "More than one data source or a stored procedure has been used in this report. please make sure that no SQL Expression is added an no server-side group-by is performed."
Thank You
With the tables linked, it is not possible to get an accurate count. Your joins will affect how many records are returned.
You need to write one report for each table. If there's a need to see the numbers all on one page, you could write a subreport for each table then put the subreports all together on one page.
