Title:
Crystal Reports 8 and Win2000 Professional
I am integrating the Crystal Reports 8 RDC into my VFP 6.0 (SP3) app, using code based on something Joy Ruhe posted about a month ago (Thanks! helped a LOT!), and I added a call to the report object's PrinterSetup method. When I run that on my main system under Win98SE, it works fine. The dialog comes up allowing me to select a printer and set printer properties, and if I print from the view, it goes to the selected printer. This works both in the development mode under full VFP, and when I execute the compiled EXE for my app. On my laptop, using Win2K Professional, SP1, it doesn't. I installed a full copy of CR8 on there, not just the required DLLs, and it seems to make no difference. What happens there is the query runs, then I do NOT get the pritner dialog, and then after a very noticeable delay (8-10 seconds) the viewer form opens and there is my report. Other things seems slow on this laptop at times, so my feeling with that is it's just a Win2K thing, but what it puzzling me is that the printer dialog doesn't come up. I didn't see anythign on the Seagate site about special issues with Win2K (I'm not using ODBC, I'm copying my results to Fox 2.x tables), so I was hoping maybe someone here has run into this problem and knows what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Randy
