Crystal Reports Server versus Crystal Reports Developer
by JoAnne Schmitz » Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:50:36 GMT
I've been using Crystal Reports Developer (version XI) for a little while,
creating .NET VB apps to generate reports and print them to PDF. I put the app
on a schedule along with a data import routine to create daily reports, and this
works well for me and my users.
Now I've been approached to do something similar for another group here at work.
They want the reports available on the web.
I understand that I can do something similar with my developer edition. They
are also looking at getting Crystal Reports Server instead, which is a
bigger-ticket item.
It might be worth the bigger ticket if it would be significantly easier to
maintain. But I don't have CR Server, nor have I built a Web application with
.NET, so I have no way of telling what the savings is.
Is the Server version drag-and-drop with reports, or close to it? I have
another user who's created some reports using .ASP.
Any insight from anyone who's used either, or better both, is welcome.
Thanks

1.Crystal Reports - Setting up a one-to-many relationship in a crystal report
Hi there,
I am trying to set up a Crystal Report with the following tables:
Customer Info:
-Name
-Address
-CustomerID
Orders:
-CustomerID
-Order value ($)
I have N customers and each customer has M Orders. I need to display
the Customer Info for each customer, followed by a graph for each
customer's order values. I have defined a schema for the tables and
connected them with Crystal Reports Database Expert.
In order to do this, I have set up a Group in Crystal Reports based on
the Customer Name. In the footer of each group, I add a table that
displays the order values of the customer's orders.
This works fine, except for the fact that in the details section of
each group, the Customer info is repeated once for each Customer
Order. Obviously, I just want the Customer Info displayed once.
Is there a way to define a relationship like this? When I use the
Database Expert, I don't see any way to indicate that this is a
one-to-many relationship.
I am using Crystal Reports 10.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Currently I use old API to print reports created with Crystal Reports

Is it possible to use CRPE in new version of Crystal Reports (XIR2),
and eventually what was changed in new API?
