field missing in Crystal Enterprise

I've got a report that runs from Crystal 10 just fine and the field shows up, but the field is missing when the report is run from Crystal Enterprise. All other fields show up just fine.

Information that may be important or not: I'm retrieving data from a SQL Server 2000 database Previously, I was getting a "failed to create rowset" error and the report wouldn't run at all. I narrowed the problem to the "Solution" field. Once I changed the driver* in the database connection, the report ran but the Solution field didn't show up. It's the longest field in the report and the only field in the report over 255 characters, if that means anything.

*I think I changed it from OLE DB to ODBC, but it could have been the other way around or totally different. Someone who's been here more than 3 weeks talked me through it.

Edit: I've tried Cstr({Solution}) and even Left(Cstr({Solution}), 20)Strangely, removing the Select Distinct Records option fixed it. To solve the resulting duplicate records problem, suppressed every result where the "ticket number" equaled the previous number. I think the report takes longer to run now.

Feature Request: 2005 Beta 2

Greetings,
I have a feature request for the Enterprise Studio.
We have about 500+ stored procedures in our CRM application and opening up
Enterprise Manager (in 2000) or Enterprise Studio (2005) I have to look at a
huge list of stored procedures and find the one I'm specifically looking
for. Granted, in 2005 there is a "filter" it is rather unintuitive.
I'd like to request the abililty to add my own "folder" to the list where I
can create categories to group my stored procedures. for example, I can
create a "Invoices" group where all my invoice related SP's go, and a
"Policies" group where all my policies related SP's will go. In addition to
this, we have more tables than SPs, so we should be able to group any
object, Table, SP, View, etc.
Not sure if you've considered this already but the filtering isn't as
intuitive. It requires me to have to constantly enter in new filters to
filter the list before I can browse around. I'd like to browse directly to
what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Shawn
Hi Shawn,
Have you considered using Schemas for this? (Introduced in SQL Server 2005
also).

|||Hi Shawn,
Take a look at the Northwind sample database in SQL Server 2005 Beta if you
have access to it from the MSDN site. Whereas Northwind's tables, procs,
etc. before were just one big list, now there are separate schemas for
HumanResources, etc. with only those objects relevant to that part of the
app in them.

Fatal Error 7105 ... text, ntext, or image node does not exist

I'm getting the following in error in Enterprise Manager:
Fatal Error 7105 ... text, ntext, or image node does not exist
It seems that a row in a table has become corrupt or something because when
I try to query for that row or scroll down in the table to view the row (the
preceding rows display fine), that is when I get this error. Can a row that
causes this error be salvaged or deleted or something? It seems it is this
one row that is causing the problem. Is that right?
I found this KB article that suggests applying a hotfix.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890755
The hotfix seems to have come out between SP 3a & SP 4. I already have
Service Pack 4 installed, so I'm wondering if this proposed hotfix is already
part of SP 4 or if I should try to apply the hotfix?
I don't want to mess up my box, but I need this error resolved.
If anyone can offer furter advice, I would appreciated (and then I can get a
broken app back up and running).
Thanks
I have a correction to my post.
I'm getting the following error in Enterprise Manager:

Fastest way to alter table structure

I'm writing a database table designer (works like the Enterprise Manager one, but with restricted datatypes and some checks), and I have a bit of a question:

To alter the structure of a table, I'm currently using the same method as Enterprise Manager (create a temporary table with the new schema, copy the data across, drop the original table, rename the temporary table).

When altering the structure of a table with a large number of rows, but not changing the order of columns or adding columns in the middle of the table:
Would it be faster to execute multiple ALTER TABLE statements? If so, at what point would it become slower? (Say, changing lots of column data types, etc).Thanks

Probably always faster using ALTER TABLE.

I really doubt that ALTER TABLE statements would be noticably slower.

|||Thanks.

I was worried that if there were a lot of column data type changes there could be a lot of conversions, and a lot of overhead from going through the entire table multiple times.
|||I guess that could happen -depends upon the quantity and type of changes.

failure installing SQL Server 2005

I am trying to install SQL Server Sept 2005 on Windows Server Enterprise Ed. 2003 which was just freshly installed on a new partition. I downloaded files from a DVD and when I click on install.exe it checks the system configuration: everything is OK (all checks passed) but then I get a window/message:

"The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installation package."

It is a DVD I got as a part of my MSDN Pro subscription from MS. What else can I do about it?

Thanks.Hi,

did you try to copy the installation files to hdd and install from there? You also may ask the msdn support:

The installation files are on HDD as of now. I am clicking on install.exe which is on the partition. I do not quite remember how they ended up there when I first used a DVD to install it and something went wrong, I aborted the attempt then but it gave me no other choice. Perhaps I felt that some other issues could have been responsible. I just installed the Win Server 2003 and some drivers were still missing, so I spent the next two days hunting for them.

Going to msdn support is the last resort. I will do it when all other avenues are exhausted.

Thanks again.|||No, it is a physical partition. I have already installed the SQL Server 2005 yesterday after I posted my last message. I do not know what the problem was initially, most likely the fact that the WINSer2003 did not have all set of drivers and therefore the download could not even access the Internet.

Anyway, I am using this to ask another question. My work now is hampered by the fact that I could not find a driver for my Dell 2001FP monitor to exercise the full resolution of 1600x1200. The driver I found provides only 1280x1024 as the highest.

I contacted Dell and they said that neither Dell nor Microsoft have drivers for Windows 2003 Server.

I am thinking about writing a driver myself but with no experience in drivers and total lack of concept do not know where to start. Anybody could offer any pointers?

Thanks.
