Text Rotation not transferring to Infoview

Hi Group,

I have created a cross tab report with labels that I have rotated the text to read vertically.

The problem is when I run it in Infoview it displays the test horizontally and does not rotate the text vertically. It runs correctly in Crystal.

Is this a known issue? Is there are work around or has anyone else ever experienced this. I have googled this but have not have much luck finding much info on this issue.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Try changing the viewer preference to activeX and see if that fixes your issue.

Thanks for the reply

unfortunately when I run the report with active x viewer I am receiving Active X scripting errors. i have included a snapshot of one of the errors.

The only reason I can think of is because there are bound parameters for Oracle and possibly the active x controls don't recognize them, only a guess.

If anyone knows how I can eleviate my original problem using the dhtml viewer or how i can fix the active x scriting errors that would be great.

thanks.

I tried all the viewers and It works correctly in the Java viewer.

Is there a way to set the default viewer for a single report and not user or system wide. We have alot of reports currently running with the dhtml viwere so we can't change the default viewer for one report.

AnthonyJ

you can create a hyperlink using the opendocument function and specify the default viewer as java ie. &sViewer=java.

So instead of opening the report via it's report name, use the hyperlink instead.

See if you can access this link to a document on openDocument URL command. The document is too large for me to attach even zipped.

I beleive in infoview you have to choose a new hyperlink, give it a name, and then using the document create the url to open the document by the specs you specify. I am trying to figure this out now.

I also figured out that eventhough the report is scewed in the dhtml viewer it is still rendered correctly when exported to pdf.

Thank you!

i'm worrying about the scheduling, i didn't see schedule option for hyper links., so how can we schedule them if we need to send them via calendar.

I was able to get it working as well.

Thanks Anthony.

I don't know if there is a way to schedule the hyperlinks.

AnthonyJ

You cannot schedule a hyperlink. What you want to do is schedule the report and include an &sInstance=last in your opendoc link. That should retrieve the latest instance of the report.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for reply on scheduling!

I've one more question with hyperlinks i.e

Is it possible to create hyperlinks for batch of crystal reports at a time? bcoz we need to open 500 reports in java viewer and others in default viewer(DHTML).So, for that i've to create hyperlinks for 500 reports but it's too much time consuming process.

Please let me know your ideas.

Much thanks,
Meher
