I have been searching everywhere but there seem to have nothing about a basic tutorial for beginners for using vb6 with crystal report.
I am in need of help for simple tasks like writing to a text object in a crystal report to connecting to a csv file.
If anyone can point me to the right direction, that would be great.
Thanks!
One way to work with CSV files is to import it into a MS Access table and then use it with Crystal Reports.
To import the CSV file into MS Access, check this tutorial

To retrieve data from MS Access to Crystal Reports check this

Something really strange is happening with SSRS. I have a report which is powered by a stored proc which uses a lot of TSQL and CTE's to set variables ect... I know that there's no problem with the procedure as it runs in SQL and also runs within Visual Studio and returns a full data set. The issue I'm having is on deployment, I can't seem to get the report to return data when running it from the reporting server. The headers of the table and parameter are displayed but just no data.
I've tried the following:
- Deleting the .DATA file
- Clearing cache
- Checking for data source errors
- Checked the report server error log
- Rebuilt RDL and created a different report with the code
I'm clueless on this one, it's something I've never seen before.
Please help.
Much appreciated,
Thank you

Does anyone know if there is a straightforward way to get data out of MS Project 2013 and into Oracle 11g? We have a master schedule created in MS Proj and want to create a web-based application that will perform monitoring and metrics charting of the project schedule statuses. I have successfully exported to CSV and imported into Oracle, but this was cumbersome and required a lot of formatting of the data in the CSV format before it was pushed back into Oracle. I'm in the beginning phases here, but wanted to solicit anyone who may have had experience with this in the past.
If you don't mind writing a little code, you could use MPXJ. You should be able to extract what you need using Java or a .Net language. You can perform the import directly in code, or just generate a suitably formatted output file for import into Oracle using other tools.
We've setup some different load tests and need to generate/send the result pr. e-mail, a link, pdf or similar. The output and metrics are saved to a database (resultstore), but I haven't been able to find too much information on how to generate a report without having visual studio. One thing that comes into mind, is creating a custom report in reporting service (any one know of existing reports I could use?).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ended up with creating a report myself using reporting services. If I can make generic enough, I'll post it here.
I'm creating a report using the Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010 but I dont know how to change the SQL request.
Thanks.
I don't think you can directly change any SQL that Crystal Reports generates.
If you want to control the query yourself, you can perform your own query first and pass in your DataSet to Crystal Reports.
good
I tried to change the sql request but we can not change it after the creation of the report by cons at the time of creation using the wizzard we can selects new command, and at this level we introduce our request.
Thanks again.
I've been using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for multiple manual SQL queries for Excel reports up until this point. I'd now like to automate my processes further with Microsoft Business Intelligence Development Studio and generate reports using this rather than Excel.
Here's a rough overview of what I'm looking to do:
Combine multiple data sources including SQL Server and Excel data
Generate a report using this combined data
Re-use this report in the future with different criteria and Excel data. While the SQL Server data sources would remain the same, Excel data would change for every report run.
My access to the SQL servers is read-only. I'm not an administrator on the PC I have access to due to tight security.
I've played around with both SSIS packages and reports, but am not quite sure where to begin. I did create an SSIS package that combines the SQL server and Excel data using a Merge Join transformation, but am not quite sure what to do with the created package or if that package can even be used in a report.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Since you have BIDS, you have various options to send data to your users:
Create reports in SSRS
Export the SSRS report to Excel
Create SSIS packages to export CSV files that are read by Excel (I used this model to mimic the report data caching ability of SSRS)
The SQL Server Reporting Services book is a great place to start.
