asked on

is my crystal report corrupted?

I have an crystal report that I had created a couple months ago. Report is fine, runs fine, but now I need to make some changes, need to add one more condition in the Select Expert window.

So, when I open report in version XI I see following:

1) Report format is not proper. The width is supposed to 14" (originally), it showing 8". I tried Page Setup and whatever I would  pick from the list, width would remain 8". It can't be changed.
2) If I click on Select Expert button, I get dialog asking me to select field. Crystal simply doesn't see any of my existing query conditions there.
3) If I go to Database Expert, there are none tables selected and tab "links" is not even there.

Yet, if I would run report, it would work fine...

I tried opening report in Crystal 9. After warning that report is created with newer version of Crystal and that some features won't be available, report would open and I would still have problem 2 and 3. For some reason didin't have problem 1 any more, format was correct.

Does anybody have idea how to overcome this problem?

Version XI (11)
It may be.

Can you create a new report?

Yes, I can. Crystal works fine. I tried it with other reports and it works fine.

Sounds like you have a bad file.  Can you do a SAVE AS from the designer?

uh.. thanks... I was hoping there is something in the application that has to be checked on or off :-)
I am not aware of anything.  And if there was you would have the same problem in many reports since most of the options are global and not report based.
