Some reports have been updated and work as before (can be viewed through a .net app and not prompt for credentials).
Other reports have started prompting for credentials since they've been changed. This happens even if the change is just moving something on the report.
I've tried deleting everything on the report apart from a label and this hasn't made any difference.
There's no difference in the .net code in how these reports are displayed.
All the reports are using the same DSN datasource.
If the credentials aren't stored in the report, I'm not sure how only changing the report can make this difference?
Update to add: Crystal reports v9.2.2.634
Came back to this today. Tried changing a report that I'd previously edited and was working OK, just to see if all reports edited after a certain point were going wrong, and this worked fine.
Tried altering one of the broken reports again (just adding a space to the end of a label), saved this and that report now works fine.
No idea what actually made this work, but if you get the same problem you could try editing a previously edited working report and trying again.
Confused.

Backstory:
I just upgraded our JasperServer to 7.8.0. All of our reports have the Always prompt checkbox checked under input controls.
In the old version (5.something) the reports are prompting in page like they are supposed to. Meaning that when a report is loaded the user has to give parameters and click the apply button.
The new server loads the report first. Sometimes when using default values our reports will be hundreds of pages and take forever if they ever do load. Just to have the wrong information and give the user a prompt for parameters. I have set the Display mode to every possible option as well as checking and unchecking Always prompt.
Has anyone else had an issue with 7.8.0 ignoring Always prompt?
How can I make it so that the report will prompt first?
Solution*
Change display mode of prompt to pop up window from in page or any of the others.
*Not a very good solution but it allows users to use the reports. Unfortunately this is a bug with JRS 7.8 but has beef fixed in pro. Hopefully they will fix this in 7.9.
When I deploy one of the reports I've made to the report server, a field that is shown when I preview in SSRS magically disappears. I've re-downloaded the report from the report server and opened it up in SSRS and the field reappears when I preview.
Has anyone encountered something like this?
I've tried searching for similar problems but nothing came up.
Please & thanks.
For a long time I have always deleted the report from the server prior to deployment when I change /Datasource/Parameters values---works for me. Then re-deploy and you should be set.
System:
Windows 7 with Crystal Reports 2013 Demo.
Windows 7 with Crystal Reports 11.5.12.1838
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.

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.
I am new to SSRS, but have begun migrating our reports to that for my organization. I have 3 reports set up at this time, but have run into a problem. Viewing any of the reports in Report Builder works just fine, but viewing 2 of the 3 in IE (also tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera) is only sporadically successful. Report server is set up on database server, and nothing in the queries being run would tax the system.
I know the security settings are correct, as I can access everything without permissions errors; I know the reports work, as I can freely use them in Report Builder and sometimes from the browser; and I am able to always access one of my three reports through the browser. All have the same security, are in the same folder, and I have gone through the same steps to load each of them. The only difference is that the one that always loads is much simpler than the other two as far as volume of data.
Now, to explain what I actually see when this happens. I set my parameters, and click View Report, and the loading icon pops up for about 1/10th of a second, then disappears. The toolbar does not appear, no data appears, and no error message is present. Every once in a while, it all works perfectly. Most of the time, only 1 of the 3 reports works. I've tried without success to find this issue raised elsewhere -- my apologies if I missed it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

If you inspect the SSRS error log it may reveal more of the issue. Sounds like a processing error that was not gracefully handled. Inspect the file \SERVER\\MSRSXX.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles and find the current log file to view the exception. Depending on how the client is set up some errors may not show.
Unsure if anyone on here could lend a hand, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Google wasn't too useful.
I have a report that I was working on all yesterday in Crystal Reports XI. I thought it was all good and working, so I closed the file (big mistake). Now, I try and open it again, and it's not letting me.
I get the following errors:
"An Ole object in this report could
not not be loaded. It has been
replaced with a blank object"
So then crystal tries to load my report with it's changes (I think), and then I get:
" This document could not
be opened. It does not appear to be a
Crystal Report document. This document
has the expected file extension
(.RPT), but it seems to be corrupted.
If this report used to work, try
opening it with a different version of
Crystal reports and if that still does
not work, please contact your
administrator".
I don't have another version of Crystal to check it with, and I'm pretty much the local admin for crystal, and I have no idea what to do.
Crystal wasn't letting me save over previous versions of this report yesterday, and now none of the 6+ versions I have are loading.
Can anyone suggest anything to help?
I got around this error by recreating the entire report.
I have no idea what the issue was, but after I spend 2 hours recreating it, it now works as intended.
I'm guessing that if anyone else receives the terminal Corruption error, they should just throw it away and start again.
You can try opening it in Visual Studio, which may or may not have the same version of Crystal. But it's a binary file, and if that gets munched, I'm not sure you have much recourse.
