In reporting services 2008. I have a report where I have not speciified keep together and my report page breaks when the next group is to large to fit on the page.
Also In another report I have a group that expands over 5 pages, and I can't seem to get a group headding to print on multiple pages of the report. In am
The keep togheter is a known bug in SSRS, should sopposedly be fixed in SSRS 2008 R2, but to me it seems to be just as bad.

I am working on a Classic ASP page with VB6 code. We are in a process of converting the crystal report and iis server for migration. We are not able to generate the report. When i debugged till the point i call the "Database.SetDataSource CDOSet, 3,1" it works fine. When i comment that single line i'm able to get the report without any data. We are also using the .ttx file for database connection(Field Definitions Only). Kindly suggest me were could have been the mistake. What all things i need to check for the migrating?
*crystal report 9 to Crystal report 2008, iis 5 to iis 6
First thing I'd suggest you look at is the Schema for the dataset and make sure it matches exactly with what the report is expecting.
Is it possible that while migrating some of the datatypes have changed and thats whats causing your problem now? if so it might be a simple fix to change the datatype in the report to match the new dataset
I don't have any experience with your setup, but my first guess would be a permissions issue. I would try looking at the event viewer on the server for more information, then the IIS logs.
We have a problem when printing reports from within our application.
We want to avoid, that the print function in Crystal Reports 2008 scales reports automatically, so that the full report content fits into the printable area of the specific printer.
The predecessor Crystal reports 11 did not scale anything, that’s what we want to achieve for Crystal Reports 2008.
Sadly the following code throws an exception:
Dim layout As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrintLayoutSettings
'Disable scaling, does not work
layout.Scaling = PrintLayoutSettings.PrintScaling.DoNotScale
crystalReport.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings:=printerSettings,
pageSettings:=pageSettings,
reformatReportPageSettings:=False,
layoutSettings:=layout)
Interestingly the SAP Crystal Report Viewer 2008 prints reports correctly, without scaling, so we guess the functionality exists.
Have you tried this setting?
crystalReport.PrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize
Have you tried setting this registry key?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BusinessObjects\Suite12.0\CrystalReports\DesignerOptions
"DealWithMinimalMarginsWhenPrinting"="0"
From SAP forum. Did not work for us, but we are using CR for VS 2010.
According to this it might not be possible. The only workaround, we found so far, is to set your margins to printable area. Might not work for you.
In our case, we're using the custom paper size (8.27x8.75) and in crystal report viewer the scaling and centre settings were greyed out while set to True as described in the question above. By adding our custom paper size in the printer properties (customer paper) the problem has been fixed.
I have a stand-alone report that works no problem. I have added it as a subreport and linked up all of the parameters, but when I run the report in BIDS I get the error message in the subject of this post.
I can deploy the report and I am able to see the subreport when I log into the SSRS web interface.
It would make things easier if I could do the report building/debugging through BIDS.
Any insight/suggestions would be appreciated.
As Per this link. Once I have a feedback link I will update this post.
Hi,
Thanks for finding this question about shared datasource/dataset. Currently, there is no way to Preview the subreport with shared datasource/dataset in BIDS. I would suggest you submit a feedback at http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope microsoft correct it in the next release of SSRS service pack.
thanks,
Jerry
My team have been working on implementing reports using Crystal Reports 2008. We are faced with the following problem:
We need to be able to organize the reports into groups (representing the various departments in our workplace). The groups will have access to only the reports which they are authorized to. Is there any way to define the groups and associate the reports to the groups. Is this something that Crystal Reports 2008 provides out of the box?
Also, can additional custom metadata (like attributes) be associated to the reports?
Any suggestions appreciated
You will need Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 in order to achieve this.

Hope this helps.

We are printing our Crystal Reports via the Crystal .NET API PrintToPrinter method. Recently it was discovered that when printing Cross Tab reports (reports that span multiple pages horizontally), only the first page is printed and the other "virtual" pages are not. We can preview the Reports fine in the .NET Crystal Report Viewer control and they show the wide report we expect, but when we print using the PrintToPrinter() method the output is definitely not what we just saw in that preview. Only the first page prints and you can see the beginning of what should be the second page cut off.
When printing through the Crystal Designer, the other pages are printed as expected. Also of note is that when we print via the "Print" button on the .NET Crystal Report Viewer control, it also prints all of the expected pages (they're jut not paged as well as when printing through the Crystal Designer).
Only the PrintToPrinter method (both overrides) seems to print only the first page of the Cross Tab Report.
I'm wondering if there's just setting I need to be setting programmatically to make this work or if I have just missed somewhere out there that this is a known issue with the Crystal .NET API?
