Error: 536 Error in File <report filename> Unable to connect: incorrect log

[Former Member]

Hi

I am getting the above error on a client's machine when executing the following code

for i := 0 to crpe.Subreports.Count - 1 do

for j:=0 to crpe.Subreports<i>.Tables.Count - 1 do

crpe.Subreports<i>.Tables[j].Path := path;

crpe.Subreports[0]; {This line points the VCL back to the main Report}

for i := 0 to crpe.Tables.Count - 1 do

crpe.Tables<i>.Path := path;

The path and the tables exist. The above code also fails when connecting to a report with no subreports.

I cannot see why it is given me incorrect log on parameters as they are just Paradox tables. On other machines it works just fine.

I am distributing Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 runtime. I am using Delphi 2007 to run the reports.

Any ideas?

Using CR 2008, where did the VCL you are using come from?

Does this work on your development computer with CR 2008 runtime?

Hi

I found a library here http://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/products/vcl/crystalvcl11.zip and I just changed the code to point the registry to the correct version of Crystal.

It works fine on my development environment and also on other computers with XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows 7

The library crystalvcl11.zip is specific to crystal reports 11.

If you want to use CR 2008, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80c191b8-6664-2b10-498e-e1295146891f] article. Note that you are in a completly unsupported environment.

Also, consider using the CR Assemblies for .NET. See the below resources:

Hi

Thank you for the information.

I was hopeful that we could still get a solid solution using this version of Crystal and it is a pity that SAP has stopped all support of Win 32 API. We really cannot justify rewriting the application in a .NET language as we want to continue with a Win32 solution for the near future.

What is frustrating is the fact that it works on various computers with similar OS.

On the particular computer we are having the problem I could not really see any differences in the files loaded in memory apart from this one entry

icudt30.dll ICU Data DLL IBM Corporation and others 3.0.0.1

The version I have loaded in memory is

icudt30.dll ICU Data DLL IBM Corporation and others 12.3.1.684

This dll is installed by Crystal in

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86

Do you know anything about this DLL?

[former_member183750 · Accepted solution]

Yah. I guess it's time to move on with the times.

I have no info on that dll. Like I said, unsupported environment. Sorry.

Hi

Thank you.

As a temporary measure, do you think I could downgrade to Version 11? and if so where can I find the Win32 runtime version.

[former_member183750 · Accepted solution]

Version 11.0 (XI R1) probably no. Version 11.5 (XI R2) is still available. You can take a look here for it;

But going to XI R2 is hte same as 12.x. You still have to recompile the VCL as per the instructions in the article I linked to in my previous post. E.g.; do not use the CR XI R1 VCL with CR XI R2.
