VB Crystal Report >> Crystal Reports and Windows XP issue

by nospam » Wed, 10 Sep 2003 23:45:34 GMT

Hi

I am having a problem with client's machines using Crystal Reports 4.6
from VB5.

The application successfully generates the report window when the user
is logged in with full administrator rights (which I understand to
mean they have full access rights to the C: drive).

However, when they log in as a normal user profile the report fails in
as far as it appears briefly and then disappears (as opposed to
remaining on screen as it does in administrator profile).

Due to the only difference in the scenario being that the user profile
is changed, we are attributing the issue to the locks that are placed
on directories / drives when not logged in as administrator - as
though the report control is trying to write to somewhere to store the
report temporarily and cannot, so kills the report immediately.

Could this be the case, and if so, which directories will need to be
unlocked for the report to work correctly.

If not, then is there something else I need to look at?

Many thanks

Hi Richard,
Does your user have select permission on tables used in the report?

Bob

I believe so, although this is something I will ask the client to check.

Could it be something else?

Many thanks

I have a problem where the Crystal Reports viewer shows th
toolbar when running Windows/2000, but not Windows/XP. Ha
anyone ever heard of this before? I have another VB.NET solution whic
does paint the toolbar under XP, so it must be a code or technique issue.
The toolbar is functional and shows tool tips and silloete, but is
grayed out from viewing.
I will paste code here of report being launched. Any hel

4. Crystal Reports - Sub Report Issue 

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me resolve the following error in a CR8.5 report:

"A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array."

I'm using an array in the main report to store values as a group
changes. I then try to print those values on an index page. The index
page is a sub report in the main report footer.

Thanking you in advance for any help.

6. Windows XP Home Issue with SQL Server 

We have developed an application that connects to our sql server using the
windows authentication.  99.9% of all our pc's belong to the domain but we
have a couple of XP Home laptops that need to connect but of course you
can't join a domain with home edition.  We are currently using this
connection string but with home since it isn't part of the domain and is
only logging in locally it will not authenticate with windows authentication
because it isn't part of the domain and sql server won't let me add a user
from a workgroup, does anyone have an idea on how to get this user
authenticated. Can I look for when he opens the app and force his username
and password or something.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

8. Windows XP/Win2K Client Privileges Issue 

We have an issue with Micorsoft Windows (XP, Win2K) with respect to using an 
API within a VisualBASIC 6.0 application. The API we are using is requires 
access to several 3rd party installed programs.   The problem we are having 
is that that the person signed on to the PC must have Administrator level 
privileges to access these necessary 3rd party programs. We would like to set 
things up so that any user of the PC has privileges to run our application 
including the 3rd party programs, but do not have Administrative privileges 
for the PC.
