i would like to ask how to connect the crystal report with Visual Fox pro.
In connecting i mean the crystal report having to connect directly to visual fox pro .DBF without any coding on Visual Fox pro.
Is there any step like on how to connect stored procedures in SQL SERVER?
i know how to connect crystal reports to SQL SERVER, but i don't know how to connect crystal reports to visual fox pro .DBF
maybe this is a very simple question to you. kindly be understanding sirs.
thanks in advance sirs and mams!
I've done this a few times, but it likely depends on your version of Crystal Reports.
In the more recent version,
in the Database Expert > Create New Connection > OLE DB(ADO) > Make
New Connection
Now, on the screen that appears,
select Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLEDB Provider and click next
For the database name, you want the folder that the file resides in, NOT the whole path
.
Finally,
select the table you want to use and proceed as you would with any
other data source.

On only certain reports, Crystal Reports crashes and gives this error (see attached picture).
I am still relatively new to Crystal and am not sure how to diagnose this error or where to find error logs that might point me in the right direction. I came across a post somewhere about windows version compatibility, but I'm not sure if that's it.
I'm running Crystal Reports product version 14.1.2.1121 on Windows 10. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Try to install Crystal Reports in Windows 8.1, then later update your OS to Windows 10,then it will work fine :)
This is something that may happen from time to time in CR, except if you get this every time you open a report in particular or too often. Although the information need some additions. Is this on client or developer end?
May you have to do following steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, then click Properties then click the Advanced tab.
Click the Performance Settings button then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
Select the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: check box.
Add all of the Crystal Enterprise executables.
click ok. and close the window. open crystall report now.
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.
From Crystal Reports Designer
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 need to develop a windows form that will use crystal reports from a c# application.
I downloaded the crystal report .exe file and installed it on my developer machine. However when i want to add it (crystal reports) to my project by, all the options i see to add are:
Reports Application
Crystal Reports WPF Application
Crystal Reports Application
From my research on google....i had thought the option will just be:
Crystal Reports
What am i doing wrong?..thanks.
I found out what i was doing wrong...instead of selecting the "ADD NEW ITEM" option....i was selecting the "ADD NEW PROJECT OPTION"
Hi
I've wired problem here.
I'm building a new fresh web application, and i want to use crystal report 2010 in one of my pages, the problem is that i can't drag and drop the crystal report viewer control .
Any idea why is this happening ?
What specifically is the problem? Are you not seeing the control in your Toolbox or are you literally not able to drag the control from the Toolbox to your form?
If you are not seeing it but have added it to your control box see this post:
how to enable crystal report viewer in Visual Studio 2010
If you haven't added it as a control then you will have to do that first. Here is a quick start guide video that explains it all.
1st step: Add a Crystal report to your project.
2nd step: Then go to your web form and add a crystal report viewer control.
Just found out this solution from going around an asp.net project in Visual studio 2015. Hope this helps to anyone looking up.
