Crystal XI R1 (version 11) report viewing problem

23 Views

I am using a custom DLL to display 128 barcodes in a report using the Additional Functions feature. The majority of the time the report displays correctly with the barcode, but there is a problem where the report displays without the barcodes being displayed. The problem occurs in an all or nothing fashion, either all barcodes are displayed or none are displayed.

This custom dll has been used successfully with Crystal 8.5 for several years, and I have failed to reproduce this issue using that setup.

I've also exhausted the possibility that the problem lies within the custom DLL itself. I've added debugging to the DLL and determined that the DLL is never called when barcodes do not display on the report.

I believe the problem is occurring within Crystal's functionality of displaying the report.

The setup is web based reporting within an ASP.Net application and can be reproduced on two different web server setups:

  • Windows 2000 SP4

  • Windows 2003 SP1

Is there a way to further debug into crystal runtime to see what is and what is not being execute?

Are there any known issues in Crystal XI v. 11 interacting with 3rd party / custom dlls?

Are there any compatibility issues with Crystal XI v.11 and Windows 2000 SP 4 or Windows 2003 SP 1?
