Is there a stackoverflow forum, which could answer Crystal Reports 2011 queries?
I'm looking for instructions on how to clear the Recently Used Reports list on the first page.
Thank you.
Yes this is the right place to ask.
You can clear the recent files using regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\{version}\Crystal Reports\Recent Files and change the FileCount value to 0.
It's a bit fiddley but you could create a .reg file to do this with a double click.

I have a Visio Workbook with multiple Worksheets. I included a Date modified and a Date created field to each Worksheet, but it seems to be for the entire Workbook.
Is there a way that each Worksheet has its own date related information.
thanks!
I got my answer from microsoft support.
First, I was wrong by saying I had Worksheets in a Workbook, Visio doesn't treat it that way (only Excel). It is really one whole document.
So to answer my question, NO, I can't have a Date field that is updated by PAGE only.
I possible solution would be to give each page his own Visio document.
I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 in an ASP.NET 4.0 web forms application. I have set the report to export in ExcelDataOnly. The report in the builder runs properly and returns thousands of rows. When I export it to Excel I am only getting 145 rows! Does anyone have any idea why this might be? I have no null values in any columns so it is not that. I am setting my content type to application/vnd.ms-excel and I think this is correct, so I am at a loss!!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Turns out the issue was saved data in the report. No matter what I did I could only get the exact same 145 rows. In the end, I recreated the report and now it works perfectly. I have no idea why the data was trapped in that state, but since recreating fixed it, it is fixed.
There is a possibility that you have checked/ selected the option of saving the data with the report. You can go to File--> Below Save AS is the option of selecting the Data to be saved with the Report. Pls uncheck the option and see if it helps.

I had a couple of reports which were working properly in crystal version report 9. While exporting the data to excel, it was working properly. But after upgrading to version 10, when we try to export to excel with data only option, the report header is not formating properly. The Report header has 3 rows, but wen I export it to excel(data only), it displays all in same line in version 10 and in different lines in version 9.
if I put it in different report header sections, issue is solved but there are many reports which makes it very difficult to make that change at all places. is there any other solution for this.
Can anybody help me with this.
Any help in this regard is welcome.
Thanks in Advance
Every version of Crystal Reports "tricks up" the Excel export settings and the formatting results they produce. Your only hope is to look at all the Excel output settings and find a way to recreate your expected output. There is a chance getting the EXACT output is not possible in the new version.
Note, your topic has nothing to do with Reporting Services and should not be tagged that way.
new page break is not working when exporting from Crystal report 9 using visual studio studio.net.
I have set the below options in crystal report 9 design
paper size is a3 and orientation is landscape.
I have created 2 report groups (date and org unit)
I want a page break after every new date and after every new org unit.
I have already set the new page after in group footer1 and group footer 2.
when i export to excel it doesn't break the page after each group is changed.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue.
thanks

I said this in another question regarding exporting to Excel:
If this was made with CR, I've found
that if a report is going to
consistently be exported to Excel,
it's best to remove ALL formatting
that CR has/does. Otherwise you'll get
weird anomalies like what you're
experiencing and will save you a lot
of grief down the road.
What I've done for some of my users is
create one report with no formatting,
specifically for exporting, and one
report with all the bells and whistles
of CR.
Page breaks are not understood by Excel during the export. The best bet is to do a grouping on the report and render them as tabs in the Excel document.
Crystal has a long history of problems when exporting to excel. There are quite a few tips about on how to get both good looking reports on the screen and in an Excel worksheet. There is no one answer for your problem, as it really depends on just how your report is structured. I googled on "crystal reports page break excel export" and get plenty of material to look at. For example:
Exporting to Excel in Crystal Reports .NET - Perfect Excel Exports
We're creating a metamodel of our report definitions within our central metadata repository. We know how to "harvest" SSRS reports since they are XML. IS there any easy way to do the same for Crystal Reports. We're interested in getting to anything CR understands about the report (similar in concept to the SSRS RDL Model)
TIA,
Paolo
Use the Crystal Reports SDK (Java or .Net version) to convert the object hierarchy to an XML representation.
Samples:
Visual Basic .Net: RptToXml
C# .Net: RptToXml
PowerShell: PsCrystal
You can get a report definition text file if you export the crystal report as...you guessed it "Report Definition(TXT)" It has the crystal version and lots of info for each section such as datafields, formatting, etc...
Check http://www.reportminer.com/, it includes a diff tool (although after exporting to text you can use the diff'er of your choice).
AFAIK, there is no way to do this. CR files are in a closed and proprietary format. :-(
I used something like this once to debug a Crystal problems, it might help:
rpt Inspector
