Hi Experts,

Recently we created a crystal report for our client with Crystal report 2011 for SAP Business One.

when the report is tried to run we are getting error "error while connecting crystal report 2008". we dont no the reason why this happening in Crystal report 2011, but the same report is working fine in 2008 version. Moreover the 2008 it is very easy for connecting SAP business One with crystal report, but in 2011 the option is not available and OLE connectivity online used. Whether we need to go with 2011 or 2008? which is best and could you please tell why this error happening.

Advance thanks,

Sudhir Tamilvanan

Hi

Crystal report 2011 will support version 9.0. Better use 2008 crystal report.

Hi,

Please refer below:

Crystal Reports 2011:

Graphic image location does not support non-image OLE objects such as PDF or Word documents

ADAPT01620570

In Crystal Reports 2011 designer, the "Graphic Location" feature only supports the image formats that can be shown as an image in the formatted report page. The image format can be DIB, EMF, OleImage, or other image formats that are supported by third party libraries like paintLib. 

OLE objects such as Word, Excel, and PDF are not supported because the designer can not dynamically vary their file location.
