The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Error detected by export DLL" When exporting a report to pdf and a text field contains the tab character

Asked by nigelboot in Crystal Reports Software, Font Creator

Tags: , , ,

I have an Invoice report that I have written that works in Crystal Reports .Net 2003.

This report is being bound using an xml dataset in the designer which is generated from the dataset returned by an SQL Server Stored Procedure.

There is a field in the report called InvoiceNarrative which is a CanGrow=True text box. It's basically a free text box that contains the narrative for an invoice request.

Whenever that field contains the tab character (as would occur if someone tried to indent some text items on an invoice narrative) the report gives me this error:
Message:

Error in File c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CrystalReports\\Invoice\CR_InvoiceRequests.rpt:
Error detected by export DLL:

Stack Trace

   at .~(String L, EngineExceptionErrorID M)
   at .y(Int16 D, Int32 E)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export()
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export()
...

The report always works fine when there are now special characters (like the tab character) in the narrative field, but the moment one of the invoices has a tab character in the narrative i get this error.

I think it might be a text encoding issue, but have no idea how to get arround it. Any suggestions?Start Free Trial
