crystal reports

[Abodorra]

HI,

I'm using labVIEW 2011 to build a database management software,

I'm using SAP crystal reports 2008 version 12.3 to design my reports,

I'm trying to run these report from labVIEW GUI

I did these steps 

1- inserted active x container

2- Selected active x object (Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control 12.0)

3- Created a property (Report Source)

4- Conncted the crystal report file 

thank you in advance 🙂

You don't show where the error indicator is connected.

You don't really say what your problems is, but I guess you are getting the error shown in the picture and you don't like that. 😄

Hi sir,

thanks for your reply

the error indicator is connected after the view report method node

My problem is that the VI does not work as I expect

I expect that the crystal report file is opened and viewed in the active x container, but this doesn't happen 😞

Error 91:

LabVIEW:  The data type of the variant is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input.

Try converting the path to a string ( using the path to string function from the File I/O -> Advanced File Function palette) before wiring it to the Report Source input

You have tried to make the whole sequence of connection?

report.Load (Server.MapPath ("SampleRpt.rpt"));
report.SetDatabaseLogon ("username", "pwd" @ "server", "database");
rptviewer.ReportSource = report;

I need also generate reports in Crystal from Labview and I will start using the Viewer.

if you link part of the code you are using, maybe I can help you solve the problem.

first you should open the application reference and then call OpenReport.

try if this works

bye

Thanks Marco_Ge,

Can you link this simple vi please?.

[Marco_Ge]

This should work with LV_2014, I used it with CRXI RDC installed.

Once you visualize the report, you can also act over ist parameters, select zoom, print out, modify and save by using proper methods.

Let me know if it is working..

Thank you very much Marco _GE.
I'll try it with the same environment as you indicate and I will show you the feedback.

Bye
