Crystal Reports developer v11.5.8.826 throwing Invalid TLV Record error for Subreports

[Former Member]

Hi,

we are getting a runtime error while trying to launch crystal report from the web application developed in classic ASP that uses VB Script for server side scripting and calls the AlwaysRequiredSteps.asp.

Runtime error description: "Invalid TLV record"

Error Number: 2147206429

This started happening all of a sudden for all of the crystal reports that contain subreports.

The same report works successfully when the subreport is deleted. The application has been running successfully for over 10 years now and suddenly from Aug 13 we started getting this error message.

Report also runs successfully when using the crystal designer but the same does not work when the parameters are passed from the ASP page to the primary report which is linked to the sub report.

Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Server: Windows 2007 SP2 64 Bit

Regards,

Hard to say why all of a sudden the error. However yo are not using the last update for CR XI R2 (11.5). E.g.; SP 6 for CR XI R2 is version 11.5.12.1838. And to boot, you are using WIN 7 which was not officially supported by CR XI R2 until SP 6.

My recommendation would be to update the app with SP - both compile and 6 runtime. See this blog on how to do the update.

And also have a look at this blog:

Hi Ludek,

I have installed and upgraded to CR X1 R2 SP6. We are still getting the same error message while trying to run any report with Subreports.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Do you get the error on the development computer as well as the computer where the app is deployed?

Try a new report - no db connection, just a text box. Add a subreport - no db connection, just a text box. Does this report work?

Not knowing your code, fully qualify the PROGID to reflect which version of Crystal Reports is used. For Crystal Reports XI R2, use the following code:

Set application = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application.11.5")

Hello,

No such thing as Windows Server 2007, did you mean 2008?

Run Fiddler and see what it tells you anything more about the error.

Open attached file and unzip it then rename and remove the .txt from the file and unzip it again. Password is "crystal"

Copy the crlogger.dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86

Add the Environment variables noted inthe txt file and then run your app again.

See what it says when it tries to log onto the subreport DB.
