Here is what i have spent the past day banging my head against.
I have a report with page headers and in the report footer i display two subreports and i need to suppress the page header when the subreports are displayed. From what i understand i need to write a formatting formula but i have no idea what this formula is or what it looks like
I am very new to Crystal reports. Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Colwin

Create a Formula and place it in a blank and suppressed section before your sub-report, force new page after this section as well
=== Formula SuppressHeader
<br />
WhilePrintingRecords;<br />
BooleanVar SupressStuff;<br />
SupressStuff:= true<br />
Create another Formula and place it after your sub report within a blank suppressed section
=== Formula SuppressHeaderNOT
<br />
WhilePrintingRecords;<br />
BooleanVar SupressStuff;<br />
SupressStuff:= false<br />
Create a Third Formula which will give the value SupressStuff to other formula (this sounds weird but bear with me). Place a copy of this in the report header as well.
== Formula SuppressStuffDisplay
<br />
WhilePrintingRecords;<br />
BooleanVar SupressStuff;<br />
Now in your Header and Footer Sections go into Section Expert and click the formula box at Suppress (No Drill-Down) and place the third formula in the
@SuppressStuffDisplay
or if you want to be fancy use this which does the same thing
<br />
if @SuppressStuffDisplay= true <br />
then<br />
true<br />
else<br />
false<br />
How this works; simple answer is flow control. Crystal runs from Top to Botton and runs in a flow. So it always does the stuff before it does the current stuff. Event fire as well like new page and page headers etc.. So before it gets to the subreport it set the value of SupressStuff to false which then suppressed any headers and footers. Then after the subreport it sets SupressStuff to true which allow headers and footers to be printed
easy eh ?

In your main report, go to Section Expert and find the properties of the Report Footer. Select the "New Page Before" option for the footer section. This will force a new page to be printed right before your embedded sub-report. I've used this method and it works fine. Your sub-report will not have the page header or footer from the main report. Give it a try.

AND ex.minor_id = c.column_id
AND ex.name = ''MS_Description''

Not a problem
Do a search on this site and there are some articles floating around here in regards to Office Interop.

I'm not sure exactly how to do this which is why I don't know exactly what to put in the post Subject. Pretty new to SQL. Help is appreciated.
I want to use the information from a system view to get information about table permissions in our database.
Right now I use:
select Grantee, Table_Name, Privilege_Type from information_schema.table_privileges
which gives me something like this:
GRANTEE---TABLE_NAME----PRIVILEGE_TYPE
User1------Table1----------Update
User1------Table1----------Insert
User1------Table1----------Select
User2------Table1----------Select
User2------Table1----------Update
But it's over 1500 records long. I'd prefer something like this:
TABLE-----USER1-----------------------USER2
Table1-----Insert/Select/Update--------Select/Update
Can anyone tell me how I could do that? Or have any better ideas of how to view the information_schema.table_privileges data in a more readable format?
Thank you!

The readability would be a matter of an opinion
If you set up your results as in your post, you could have one very long row (depending on how many users you have).
Perhaps, you could get a starting point if you take tables as rows and then users for each table with fixed columns as privileges. Something like the following. Then if you like you can start pivoting on tables or users using sub selects in FROM section and modify the structure as you like.
Also notice that you can place FOR XML AUTO at the end of the query, if it makes the results more readable.
select userinfo.Table_Name,
userinfo.Grantee ,
case when selectinfo.GRANTOR is not null then 'Yes' else '' end SelectPermission,
case when insertinfo.GRANTOR is not null then 'Yes' else '' end InsertPermission,
case when updateinfo.GRANTOR is not null then 'Yes' else '' end UpdatePermission,
case when updateinfo.GRANTOR is not null then 'Yes' else '' end DeletePermission
from information_schema.table_privileges as userinfo
left outer join
information_schema.table_privileges as selectinfo
on userinfo.grantee = selectinfo.grantee
and userinfo.table_catalog = selectinfo.table_catalog
and userinfo.table_schema = selectinfo.table_schema
and userinfo.table_name = selectinfo.table_name
and selectinfo.PRIVILEGE_TYPE = 'SELECT'
left outer join
information_schema.table_privileges as insertinfo
on userinfo.grantee = insertinfo.grantee
and userinfo.table_catalog = insertinfo.table_catalog
and userinfo.table_schema = insertinfo.table_schema
and userinfo.table_name = insertinfo.table_name
and insertinfo.PRIVILEGE_TYPE = 'INSERT'
left outer join
information_schema.table_privileges as updateinfo
on userinfo.grantee = updateinfo.grantee
and userinfo.table_catalog = updateinfo.table_catalog
and userinfo.table_schema = updateinfo.table_schema
and userinfo.table_name = updateinfo.table_name
and updateinfo.PRIVILEGE_TYPE = 'UPDATE'
left outer join
information_schema.table_privileges as deleteinfo
on userinfo.grantee = deleteinfo.grantee
and userinfo.table_catalog = deleteinfo.table_catalog
and userinfo.table_schema = deleteinfo.table_schema
and userinfo.table_name = deleteinfo.table_name
and deleteinfo.PRIVILEGE_TYPE = 'DELETE'
order by Table_Name, Grantee

I believe the answer to your problem is to use a Pivot query in SQL 2005. I'm not sure how to due this, but it's worth investigating.

Hi
How to remove Identity(1,1) property only from column in table in sql server 2000.
thanks
You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
You must recreate the table so:
- get the data into another table
- drop the table
- create the table without identity specification
- place the data back to the new table

|
|
|
try a google search for "drop identity constraint tsql"
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have any specific article in mind? Note that this was for version 2000.

I generally find SQL Server Books OnLine is an ideal place to start with help with SQL Server but that is just me.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, but I'm under the impression that in version 2000 the identity can only be disabled. Constraints can be dropped, but is identity modelled as constraint in 2000? Didn't find any clear answer for that.

I have a 'product' table, with an integer foreign key into a 'productLine' table. I populate a Products menu with one child item for each product line, and when that menu item is clicked, an image gallery for that product line opens. My issue is that I need the product line name on the gallery page, so I must either pass the productLineId in the url, and use it as a filter parameter in my product image query, and perform a separate lookup to get the product line name, or join the two tables, and pass the product line name as part of the url. I don't feel comfortable with using the join only for this reason. What are the general opinions on a matter like this?
|
|
|
|
|
Personally, unless there is a very good reason not to, I would pass the name and id. You need the id to look up the images, but database access is relatively expensive so I would avoid the round trip just to get the name.

I'm already avoiding the round trip by using a denormalised view, where each product record includes the product name view.
