Writing a “If” & “Then” Statement in Crystal Reports 9

DJandLO — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 19:52:19 +0000

Hi,

I’m new to the site and reletively new to writing code so, please bare with me. I’m trying to pull duplicate records from a field that has multiple member types {Member_Types.MEMBER_TYPE}. What I want to do is pull only the duplicate records that contain a valid member type.

For example 2 records meet my duplicate criteria & have a member type of GEN & NM - I want to show on the report.
But if 2 records meet my duplicate criteria & have a member type of NM & 01 - I don’t want it to show on the report.

I hope I was able to explain that correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 7 & Crystal Reports 9 – Azalea’s PostNet user function Barcode dll not recognized

Mandm — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:13:43 +0000

I recently upgraded to a new computer – with Win 7 OS

After some work getting oracle ODBCs created with
C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe,

Crystal 9 would not connect to oracle ODBCs correctly using the default install location [got TNS error]
I had to install it at C:Crystal Reports 9 — it then worked fine.

However, any reports using the Azalea Brand barcode software would not compile

example formula: BarcodePostnet({taplet1_txt.ZIP})

error: UFL u2lbcode.dll that implements function is missing

I have run Azalea softwares POSTSetup.exe and copied barcode.dll and u2lbcode.dll to multiple locations

c:windowssystem32

c:windowscrystal [had to create this subdir]

The Azalea Crystal 9 / win XP pdf documentation says dll should be in
C:Program FilesCommon FilesCrystal Decisions2.0bin
but this directory does not exist with my installation of crystal

Azalea website documentation s says dll should be in
c:windowssystem32 for win XP and Win 7

I also checked where other user function dlls that do show up in crystal [ELEMENTke u25dts.dll] are stored and put dlls tin same location

C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesBusiness Objects3.0bin

C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesCrystal Decisions2.0bin

[these subdir do not exist under c:Program Files

I also Tried to register dll with no luck regsrvr32 …. [“the specified module cannot be found”>

Any ideas on how to get u2lbcode.dll recognized by Crystal 9 on this win 7 installation would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

Crystal Reports 9 Formulas

Meagwatts — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 02:32:55 +0000

I am using Crystal 9 reports. The formula is an IF formula but one of the columns returns as a blank as there is no data, crystal doesn’t read this as a value < 0 as it is blank, how can I get crystal to read a blank in the data field whilst writing a formula?

the formula is below but it won’t accept {resrooms.actroomrate} =”" with “” representing a blank, I have tried <0 also, still won’t accept.

Any ideas??

if {resrooms.actroomrate} > 0 then {resrooms.actroomrate} else (if {resrooms.actroomrate} =”" then {resrooms.roomrate})

InstallShield/Crystal Reports 9.0 installation error

JHB — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:18:12 +0000

I am getting an error when attempting to install Crystal Reports 9.0. The InstallShield window opens and it goes through the motion until it tries to extract a MSI file (ISSScript1050.msi) then the following error message (in an InstallShield window) occurs: “1608: Unable to create InstallDriver instance, return code -2147221164″. Crystal Reports is used for the report function of an accounting application used to calculate depreciation. When we generate the report and try to print, we get various messages that the application can’t open a particular file (crpe32.dll). We contacted the software vendor’s phone tech and have been constantly told that this error is on our side and related to permissions. We find this very difficult to believe because my profile has administrator rights. Permissions should not be the problem. We also checked the virus scan to make certain that wasn’t preventing those files from installing. We also reimaged the computer, but continue to receive the same installation error. It is interesting that we have been able to install this application correctly on two other computers and it works fine on those computers. But we need for it work on this particular computer (i.e. mine). I had considered cloning one those computers, taking off the applications aren’t needed, then trying to install this depreciation software to see if that would work but that would create more work and, quite frankly, its doubtful that my IT peeps would be open that idea unless if they knew it was going to work. I can email screen shots of the errors. Any help would be most appreciated. We aren’t getting anymore input from the vendor (they actually asked us to call them back once we figured it out), I really would like this software to work (it’s part of a suite), and our IT department isn’t sure what else to do.
