Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ae3' - Invalid TLV Record

[Former Member]

Hi,

In one of our client production server Crystal Reports XI (11.0.0.1282) is installed in Windows 2003 Operating System. ASP is used to launch the reports. The code was working for a long time and suddenly face the error u201CCrystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ae3' - Invalid TLV Recordu201C when viewing the report. When we analyzed the issue, it is because of the picture (logo) available in the rpt. If we remove the picture in the existing rpt it works fine. If we incorporate it again the above error is raised. The error occurs when crystal api openu2019s the rpt.

Set Session("oRpt") = Session("oApp").OpenReport(Server.MapPath(ReportName), 1)

We really donu2019t know why suddenly this error occurs. We are able to open the same problem report using VB Macro (desktop application).

In the test server (with the same crystal version, os and report deliverables) the reports are launching fine using asp.

I tried analyzing the issue using procmon, but not able to find the solution. Launching the asp by unregister the craxdrt.dll and registered in COM+ also fails.

How to resolve it ?

You do not mention if the picture is inserted as an OLE object or a pic. You also do not mention the format of the picture. But a few ideas:

1) Open the picture in any editor. Make some minor modification, undo the modification, save the picture. Insert it on the report and test.

2) If the report is inserted as an OLE object, it may be that the OLE handler has changed or become corrupted in some way. Do a bit of checking on this.

Thanks Ludek,

The reported problem got solved after deleting the tempory files in the folder c:\windows\temp. Previously 20 GB data are available in the temp folder.

Now the report is launching fine with picture (logo).
