toogle viewer window

Which version of Crystal.

Is it the "group tree" you are seeing or what?

There is a REPORT OPTION to build or not build the group tree
Open the report
Click FILE --> REPORT OPTIONS
Uncheck BUILD GROUP TREE

i am using crystal reports10 , i did uncheck the create group tree . But still i am getting the  toggle (group tree) in my browser. Is there any option to change the report settings to open in ActiveX. Will this work.

Thankyou,
Reddy.
                                                                                                                                 

Reddy,

I know exactly what you're talking about and as you have discovered, even setting the report options correctly doesn't help...

You can force the report to open in the ActiveX viewer by adding this to your URL  "&INIT=actx"

Hi frodo i treid activex url placing in 2places. first now shows an error

1. http://pc-oreddy/Reports/allevents.rpt?"&init=actx"&user0=crystal&password0=crystal&promptex-Node="www.xpedite.com"&promptex-Manager="All"&promptex-Date=["datetime(2005,04,10,12,00,00)"-"datetime(2005,04,28,12,00,00)"]

2.http://pc-oreddy/Reports/allevents.rpt?&user0=crystal&password0=crystal&promptex-Node="www.xpedite.com"&promptex-Manager="All"&promptex-Date=["datetime(2005,04,10,12,00,00)"-"datetime(2005,04,28,12,00,00)"]"&INIT=actx"

error: A viewer of type 'actx"' is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to enquire about supported viewers. [On Web Component Server: pc-oreddy.WCS]

So i tried to put a ? in it

http://pc-oreddy/Reports/allevents.rpt?"?init=actx"&user0=crystal&password0=crystal&promptex-Node="www.xpedite.com"&promptex-Manager="All"&promptex-Date=["datetime(2005,04,10,12,00,00)"-"datetime(2005,04,28,12,00,00)"]

If i am using this the group tree is displaying again. Any suggestions

Thankyou,
Reddy.

Activex content have been turnes off by the administrators so is there any other way.

Thankyou,
Reddy.

Sorry Reddy - I don't believe there's another way.  

One possibility you could consider is to export the report to (for example) PDF.  That way it would open in the browser in Acrobat Reader and you wouldn't have the group tree there.  Of course you also lose the ability to refresh, etc. so it's a far-from-perfect solution.

If you go that route add to your URL:  cmd=export&export_fmt=U2FPDF:0

ok thank you.

There should be a displayGroupTree property for the viewer that you can set.  Something like:

<PARAM NAME="DisplayGroupTree" VALUE=1>

or

CRViewer.DisplayGroupTree = False

Dave - I don't think that works with unmanaged reports??? - frodoman

Frodoman: I don't serve up rpts throught the web/via intranet, so I'm not exactly sure how this deployment scenario
works, but I DO know that just about every one of the Smart Viewers has some method for turning the group tree
on/off.

-dave

Dave: Thanks for the reply.  I know that typically this isn't a problem but as far as I know this doesn't apply when you've got Crystal Enterprise in the mix.  You can turn off all trees but I've never been able to find such a method that works through URL commands or even through the CE Management Console to turn off just a single instance. - frodoman

Hello frodoman i tried to do as you said, i tried to pass the export pdf in the url in this way, but it is showing me an error

http://pc-oreddy/Reports/HOURLYgraph.rpt?"&?init=actx"&user0=crystal&password0=crystal&promptex-Node="xsi/queue/jmon"&promptex-hour=8&cmd=export&export_fmt=U2FPDF:0


error: Adobe Reader could not open 'pa001801.fdf' because it is either not a supported filr type or because the file has been corrupted(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Any suggestions.

Thank you,
Reddy.

Reddy,

Looks like acrobat is trying to open a .fdf file instead of a .pdf file.  I found an article back from CE8.5 that sounds like it might address this: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2015161.asp

Basically I'm thinking to add the filename to your URL:
....&cmd=export&export_fmt=u2fpdf:0&/filename.pdf

This is an educated guess - I'm not sure about this one.

Sorry frodoman it is still showing me the same error

Thankyou,
reddy.
