[RESOLVED] VB 6/CR XI "The control is busy downloading data

[SamC]

OS =Windows XP Professional SP2
CR version XI Developer Edition
VB6 Enterprise Edition

I have a Form called: frmCRPrint. This is where the CrystalActiveXReportViewer is on.

I am getting the following error when executing the code below.
"The control is busy downloading data"
The table I am using (Table Name: TAKEOUT) only has 10 records in it so I don't understand what is causing this problem. The variable "TOSpecDate" is initialized prior to entering this routine.


Global Module:
Public ReportPath As String
Public craxapp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public craxreport As CRAXDDRT.Report
Public ReportName As String

In the Form_Activate of frmCRViewer, I have the following:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim dbTable As CRAXDDRT.DatabaseTable


If ReportName = "InvTakeOut.rpt" And HoldIndex = 0 Then
Set craxreport = craxapp.OpenReport(ReportPath & "\" & ReportName)
craxreport.FormulaSyntax = crCrystalSyntaxFormula
craxreport.RecordSelectionFormula = "{TakeOut.dbToDate} = '" & TOSpecDate & "'"
ElseIf ReportName = "InvPartStatusReport.rpt" Then
.
.
End if
craxreport.DiscardSavedData
> While CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.IsBusy
DoEvents
Wend
> CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.Refresh
> CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ReportSource = craxreport
> CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.ViewReport
> Set craxreport = Nothing
> End Sub
>
> The error occurs on the "CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.Refresh" command. I let this code run for about 10 minutes. No report was seen.

An early thank you for trying to help.

Not sure why you are trying to refresh before veiwing the report but this is the code I use:

Set crxReport = crxApp.OpenReport(ReportName)
With crView
    .ReportSource = crxReport
    .ViewReport
    While .IsBusy
        DoEvents
    Wend
    .Zoom "100"
    .Visible = True
End With

crView is the control name.

Besoup:

This is what I have now:


General Module:
Public ReportPath As String
Public craxapp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public craxreport As CRAXDDRT.Report
Public ReportName As String
.
.
.
ReportPath = "D:\Data\xxxx\Inventory"


In the Form_Activate event of frmCRPrint, I have:
Dim dbTable As CRAXDDRT.DatabaseTable
If ReportName = "InvTakeOut.rpt" And HoldIndex = 0 Then
Set craxreport = craxapp.OpenReport(ReportPath & "\" & ReportName)
craxreport.FormulaSyntax = crCrystalSyntaxFormula
craxreport.RecordSelectionFormula = "{TakeOut.dbToDate} = '" & TOSpecDate & "'"
ElseIf ReportName =
.
.
.
End If
craxreport.DiscardSavedData
DoEvents
Set craxreport = craxapp.OpenReport(ReportPath & "\" & ReportName)
With CrystalActiveXReportViewer1
.ReportSource = craxreport
.ViewReport
While .IsBusy
DoEvents
Wend
.Zoom "100"
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub


On this statement: ".ReportSource = craxreport" I am now getting the following error message: 'Method ReportSource of object 'ICrystalReportViewer11 failed'.

Do you see anything wrong with the above?
Thanks,
Sam

hmm

do you need your declarations to be public?

Public craxapp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public craxreport As CRAXDDRT.Report

probably the only thing I see that I don't really do. I usually just declare them in the same sub as the code calling the report.

Besides that I don't see anything that is really wrong...

Problem Resolved: I wish I could tell you what the problem was but I have no idea except the possibility of a "bad typist" (me) or a illegal blind character. I printed that part of my code and retyped it. It worked.

Thanks for your looks,
Sam
