Crystal report parameter pop up issue

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi,

I am using VS 2010. I have crystal reports 8.5. I am calling those crystal reports from asp.net application using the crystal report viewer and report document code. I am passing paramter to the crystal reports. Inspite of doing that, it is asking me for paramters. The parameter pop up opens whenever I try to load the report. I have downloaded the crystal report for VS 2010 from this document. Could someone please help me with this.

Thanks.

What's the database? Please be precise. E.g.; MS Sql or Oracle is not enough info...

How are you connecting (ODBC, PLE DB, etc., etc.)?

Can you attach the report here? (Use Advanced editor) - rename the rpt file to txt, attach.

I think because you are setting reuseparametervalues to true it discards what you just set. Try setting it to false or comment it out.

Also, the structure of the .rpt file changed dramatically with Crystal 9.0, but has not changed much, other than to add features, since then.  It's highly likely that what you're running into is a compatibility issue between the structure of the Crystal 8.5 report and the version 13 runtime that works with VS 2010.

And so did the database drivers and Parameter API's, internal and external. Parameter UI is java based now.

But yes, as Dell said, update the reports to current DB drivers and verify them and save in current version.

Hi Pooja,

CR 8.5 is not side by side compatible which means you CAN NOT have any other version of Crystal on the same PC.

Unfortunately uninstalling CR 8.5 is not easy to do. Biggest thing is delete the c:\windows\crystal folder and the crpe32.dll from the c:\windows\system32 folder.

Or rename them for now.

Once you do that try again.

Only reason the Parameter U pop's up is because one of them is not filled in.

Check you code....

  I'd recommend saving / updating the reports from CR 8.5. There have been a number of changes in format, database engine and more. Depending on the number of reports, you may want to download an eval of CR 2013 and update the reports to v. 13.x. Evals are here:

Next, as a test, I'd recommend commenting out the parameter code and letting the report prompt for the parameters. Fill out the parameters, make sure the report works. Then have a look at the parameter code samples here:

Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki

Also, have a look at the Developer Help files:
