Does Crystal Reports have a runtime log

[#1]

Could someone help: My company has multiple ASP.net websites that use Crystal reports. The web sites all have been working correctly and the reports generate correctly but (depending on the time of day) when users click on the print button, the print box doesn't appear or takes quite a long time, ie: 3 minutes. Note: These web sites are being run on an Intranet only. The delay does appear worse over a VPN connection to the web server. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this problem, is there a way to view a Crystal Reports runtime log to check if users are running multiple CR reports consecutively?

Thanks

Dave.

I have been experiencing the same issue. I have been using Crystal for many years. This problem only surfaced when I moved for the CR2010 Beta 2 to the release version. Beta 2 worked fine. If I print preview (which loads quickly) and then print, the print dialog appears almost immediately and all is well. If I try to print without previewing, there is typically a 30+ second delay. My apps are standard windows aps.

Hi Guys,

Here's how to enable logging, create 2 on and off reg files and copy each section into the file:

PLEASE NOTE: Replace the leading double quotes with a square bracket

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

Note The log file extension created by Crystal for Visual Studio 2010 is .GLF.

Hello Michael

I think this may be a different issue - possibly new and specific to CRVS2010.

Can you please create a new forum thread for this?

Is this log always written in temp? Can it be redirected elsewhere?
