I need help in crystal report with vb.net 2008 - crystal-reports

I had been asked to build crystal reports for an application, i used the Microsoft Report Viewer control from the Tools, and could build a report which get data from datasource according to a parameter and view it in the report viewer, i need to know if i'm doing right or not? is this crystal report? and if not where can i find it.

You have to use the Crystal Report Viewer and create Crystal Reports. Microsoft Report Viewer is not the same.

Is there a way to have Crystal Reports prompt user for their e-mail address then result set is e-mailed to user as a spreadsheet?

I'm new to Crystal Reports, and I have a SQL report that previously has been run in SMSS by the person in my position and e-mailed out on demand. I'd like to put it in Crystal Reports so users can run when needed; Crystal Reports is integrated with our EHR system. The report has way too many columns to fit on a page which sets the user up for complaints when the report doesn't print correctly. I'm wondering if there's some way that I can set a parameter or similar that prompts the user for an e-mail address and Crystal Reports then e-mails the report as a spreadsheet/csv file versus displaying it for print. Could a python program be triggered in some way and thus bypass CR? Is this possible in any way?
Yes, this is possible via the Crystal Reports runtime. Or consider getting one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools listed here.

Crystal Reports 2008 - How Do you Freeze The Header or Columns of a Table

Can anyone help me with my query.
How to freeze the header part of Crystal Reports 2008 in the crystal report viewing time.
(the header part should be always displayed while the user scrolls down on the report).
I can't find any option for this.
Thanks.

There is no way to achieve that in Crystal alone. But there are ways around that limitation.
For example, you can export the data from Crystal to Excel and freeze panes in Excel.
Or you can export the data from Crystal to a web grid.
There are 3rd-party Crystal Reports utilities that can automate these options.

SAP Crystal Reports UFL Error in CRYSTAL REPORTS runtime( x64)

Using SAP Crystal Reports Designer, I developed a receipt for POS Printer. The report uses the UFL function that SAP B1 provides for example :
SAPB1CRDecryptAndMaskGenerate ({RCT3.CrCardNum}, 0).
When viewed in SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS Designer or even in Visual Studio, everything works. But when you run SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS Runtime(x64) from under the SAP Business ONE(x64) client, an error occurs

How to update parameter of a Crystal Report with Crystal Reports Server?

We have Crystal Reports XI and are using Crystal Reports Server XI. We have many reports on Crystal Server but none are using report parameters.
I created a .RPT with 1 parameter called REPORT_TYPE that is a STATIC parameter in my report. For some reason, when I upload the report to Crystal Server, I cannot change the parameter value. I tried the following steps:
Opened the report in Crystal Server and clicked Process -> Parameters
Clicked where it displays the parameter named and [EMPTY] next to the value
I then can type any value I want in the field titled "Enter a value" but when I click update nothing happens. The page does not reload and the value is not stored in the report if I click another tab and go back it still displays [EMPTY]
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated! I tried using both the latest version of Chrome and IE (also with and without Computability View).
What you can do is modify the report on crystal and upload it again into the server. If you don't have the report, preview it and download a copy as crystal reports.
You can also do a repository connection. It will allow you to make changes on a report that is already on the server. In below link you can see how to make the connection.
