Formula Error on One Workstation - Crystal 7
03/09/07 at 09:11:22

I'm hoping Crystal expert Kevin or someone can chime in on this.

I write reports, create executables and point users to the executable on the server.

What would cause one, and only one, workstation to return a formula error when running the report?

The error returned is 'The ) is missing.'

The report runs fine on my machine and the executable runs fine on all machines but one.

I'll post the formula, which doesn't appear to contain this error:

if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 1 then date(Year(dateadd('m',{@ProxMo},datetime({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE}))),month(date
add('m',{@ProxMo},datetime({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE}))),25) else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 5 then date(Year(dateadd('m',{@ProxMo},datetime({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE}))),month(date
add('m',{@ProxMo},datetime({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE}))),25) else
({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE} + {@DueDays})

Also, the Version of Crystal that you are using. Make certain that the problem workstation is running the same .exe as the others and not a previous version or interim version you had while developing the report. Thanks!

@ProxMo Formula:

if day({BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_DATE}) < 25 then 1 else 2

@DueDays Formula:

if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 1 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 2 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 3 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 4 then 7 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 5 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 6 then 15 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 7 then 45 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 8 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 9 then 31 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 10 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 11 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 12 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 13 then 5 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 14 then 10 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 15 then 30 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 16 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 17 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 18 then 60 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 19 then 1 else
if {BKARINVT.BKAR_INVT_TERMN} = 20 then 1 else
30

Everybody points to the same executable from an internal web page that lists our reports.

We're on Crystal Reports 7.01.200

Thanks

Another thought came to mind.

If you are using ODBC to access the DBA tables, try the following:
1. Delete the ODBC data source at the workstation thought control panel->administrative tools->Data Sources (ODBC).
2. Close the Data Source Administrator Window (some machines have a bug if you do not close this after Deleting a data source)
3. Go back into control panel->administrative tools->Data Sources (ODBC)
4. Re-Create the ODBC Data Source you need for your report.

See if that makes a difference.

Make sure that the workstation that DOES NOT work correctly has these same U2.dll files in c:\windows\system. There may be some missing .DLL's used by the Crystal Viewer.

That was it. I copied my DLL's over and the problem went away. I think it had to do with some non-stock UFL's I thought I had added to everyone's machine. Thanks a million Kevin.
