Do i need to have Microsoft Report Viewer as part of my published program? I had created a program that was able to install on other computers but with my latest version there was an error upon install that Microsoft Report Viewer object 11 was not installed. I did not add a report viewer to my project at all and i am wondering if i can simply delete the Report Viewer from my resources??
I was able to answer my own question. Under my Properties, References, i was able to remove all of the Unused References which included the Report Viewer. Somewhere i must have added something that added the report viewer but i never used it so the program is now able to load.

In order to create an indipendent runtime file.accdr out of a file.accdb, I've downloaded AccessDeveloperExtensions.exe and AccessRuntime.exe and installed them.
Update:
See article Here is the Google Translater .
Update end.
Opening Access 2007 I could create the install package for creating the file.accdr out of the file.accdb.
The problem I get is that an important function does not work anymore. It's the export of a report, wherelse the export of a table still works.
Opening Access I get the following message:
you don't have a source code control program (such as Microsoft Visual Source Safe) installed on
your machine. The source code control commands are therefore not available
I click on OK and Access opens my db.
My db is based on a table, a form, a report and a query. Exporting the report worked in the past, but doesn't work anymore. The message shown is the following:
Impossible to complete output operation. Assure that there are no syntax errors. If the syntax is
correct, reinstall Microsoft Office Accept...
(I've translated the text from Italian).
Now is there another, easier way from reinstalling the hole thing? Because after reinstalling Access I will also have the need of creating databases.accdr and so I have reinstall runtime.exe and DeveloperExtensions again, what would result in the same problems I had before.
Somebody could help?
I have a crystal report .RPT file which was created in 2004. I am having trouble opening it using software like VB or Crystal Report. It shows "Failed to open Document", follow by "Invalid Report Schema". Seems like the file itself it corrupted, but there is an application generating reports using this file that is still running fine, and it is able to read the file without any problem.
Is there any other software I can use to possibly open this file up? I need to edit the formula expression in a couple fields. When I tried NotePad++, it shows a bunch of unreadable characters which don't help at all. By the way, this file seems to be consisted with a bunch of reports. (There are about 10 reports within this .RPT file.)
I am not sure what the problem is here, could anyone please help me? Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
In that era of Crystal Reports, version 10 would have been the current release. Through version 10, .rpt files could not be successfully opened by any version earlier than the version which last saved the file. Ergo, to open and edit the file, you need the designer/editor for the version which produced that file, or else a newer designer/editor.
If your current Crystal Developer tool wont open it, then it is from a newer one than you are using, or it is truly corrupted ( but since you say it is running well within an application then it's almost certainly not corrupted ).
You need to determine specifically what version of Designer DLL is being invoked by the application that is running the report. Open the source code project and look at the REFERENCES, get the name and GUID of the CRAXDRT.DLL ( or CRAXDDRT.DLL ) and then find exactly that entry in the registry. There you will see which version of Crystal Designer deployed that CRAXDRT.DLL. THAT is the edition you should be able to open the file with.
If you dont have that edition in house, you will have to go to SAP ( or eBay , etc ) and buy one. The oldest SAP sells now is version 11, which should be able to open 8.5 rpts and above. version 11 no longer has support from SAP ( yes, they sell it but no longer sell support, I know, it was only a week ago I talked to them about upgrading my v10 to something newer ). And v12 support is soon to be dropped.
It looks like you are at the crossroads of a Crystal upgrade. If you are still working with VB6 as your application language, then V11 R2 is probably your best bet. g'luck.. I feel your pain. I been there.
I have a VB.Net application that has a reference to Microsoft report viewer.
I installed the Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 run time from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35747
I have added a reference to the dll installed and removed the previous dll in my project.
Now when i view reports it is very slow to render. It used to take 1 second for some reports and now it takes 30 seconds. Also the rendering is missing some text.
I currently have a simple crystal reports application which generates a crystal report and in the built in viewer provided by VS2005. There is a drop down where you can select options to change the criteria of the report. I wish to convert this app to a windows executable which will take all those select options and generates pdfs based on the crystal report. the executable will be triggered by windows task scheduler...or maybe command line app?
Obviously this will be somewhat of a re-write. What would be the best way to start this as? a crystal report application or a windows application.
Take a look at CrystalHelper. One of the many things it provides, is the ability to take an existing Crystal Report and export it to PDF. Especially helpful in Web applications, because the clients don't need a Crystal viewer - just a PDF viewer, which almost everyone already has!

I ended up using VS2005 and creating a command line app.
i have read this article about custom report items(CRI)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188686.aspx
The only problem is that CRI are only usable in reporting service and not in local reports. My question is it possible some how to use CRI in local reports( RDLC ). Also i am interested in which version of reporting service is this possible, if possible
Best Regards,
Iordan
Custom report items are not supported in .rdlc files. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251712(v=vs.90).aspx) This is likely the approach taken by Microsoft because the ReportViewer used with these files is a free control, while more complex features like third-party controls are supported only on a full SQL Server report server.
One thing in particular I have done in the past to get around this is generate custom charts/controls/images etc. As images and then send them into the report as an image. Not an ideal solution but it works.
