Date Picker problem with custom Crystal XI ReportsYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hello,

I have several custom reports that use embedded date parameters (other than the date options provided through the SLX report manager). When I run a report through SLX, the Crystal Viewer prompts for the extra parameters as expected, but when I click on the date picker button on the parameter window, the date picker opens in an IE window behind the crystal view parameter window.

When running the report through the Crystal development tool, everything works as expected.

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

My version info:
Saleslogix 7.2.2
Crystal Reports XI R2
Happens on both IE6 and IE7

Thank you, ...Rob

I've seen the same problem and have never found a solution. It appears to be related to the way that saleslogix opens the crystal report window.

Same issue on 7.0.1...That parameter window hidden behind the other windows is about as good as another hole in the head. One user claimed that it worked OK if he made the parameter window a full screen before picking but I couldn't get any consistency. I instruct the users to type the date in using the proper format instead of using the DTpicker.

Hmmm,

I was poking around the SLX report code ooking to fix the double parameter prompting (following a tip from Matt Dockins) and found this in the SLX Report Controller class:

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Note: Change the WindowStyle parameter from a 2 to 0 to allow the date picker to show on top
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set objMainView = Application.MainViews.Add("System:SLX Crystal Report Viewer", 2, False) 'DNL

I wonder why they didn't just change the WindowStyle parameter to a 0 by default...

...Rob
