Moving on from 64 bit, what are the other goodies? The maps that came with Crystal were too basic. It was a 3rd party component added to Crystal Reports some time ago. Oddly, the Xcelsius specific functions are still available in the formula editor.ĭropping Maps is more of a surprise. Sadly, it means you can’t embed Crystal Dashboards any more, but that was always talked about more than done. Adobe are dropping support at the end of the year. You’ll notice that Map & Flash are both missing.ĭropping Flash in to be expected. If you’ve bought a UFL, you’ll need to contact the provider for an update. I’ve not recompiled any of mine yet, but I’m not expecting too much trouble. In the 64 bit release, your old UFLs will stop working. More complex UFLs write files, log events and send emails. They used to be used a lot for bar codes. Typically, they’re now written in C# or Visual Basic.Net. UFLs are a way to extend the Crystal Reports formula language. Did I mention how good ODBC is? User Function Libraries (UFLs) This is going to be a major reason for reports published to Crystal Server & SAP BI failing to run. If it’s not there, it’s a cases of just changing the database location.

I just know that whatever I used for 32 bit will need to be available for the report to work in 64 bit. I have no idea of the advantages/disadvantages of any of them. I have five different ‘providers’ installed for MS SQL. To make it slightly confusing, it will need to be the same ‘provider’.

What’s this got to do with 64 bit? You’ll need the 64 bit OLE DB driver to be installed. Then in 2017, they changed their mind again. Then they changed their mind and announced that OLE DB would be discontinued with SQL Server 2012 being the last product to include support. Downside was that in products like Crystal Reports, it’s more complex to use as you can’t have an administrator to the setup in advance. It has the advantage of not needing any client configuration, so this sort of made sense. When it was first released, Microsoft planned for it to replace ODBC. OLE DB is Microsoft’s answer to the Hokey-Cokey. This will also affect you if you’re using Microsoft Access databases with a native connection rather than ODBC. If you’re stuck with an ancient database and still need to use them, you’ll need to switch to using an ODBC connection.

Access users may need to download the latest drivers from Microsoft, or view this is a good time to upgrade to a server based database.

If you’re using Oracle, you’ll need to install the 64 bit drivers and configure the settings all over again. If you’re using MySQL or PostgreSQL you’ll just need to download the latest ODBC drivers. If you’re using Microsoft SQL Server, you’ll have no problems at all as the drivers are probably already installed. I have no idea why as it seems like such an obvious requirement. One slight gotcha is that you can’t have the 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC managers open at the same time. Use the same name as you used in for 32 bit and all will work perfectly. No prizes for guessing the solution! You just need to configure 64 bit ODBC connections. The reasons all the reports stop working is that only 32 bit ODBC connections (DSNs) have been configured. 32 bit applications can only use 32 bit ODBC, 64 bit applications can only use 64 bit. The important thing to remember is that they mix like oil and water. You’ll see two shortcuts looking something like this in Windows 10:

ODBCĪll your old reports using ODBC will stop working! DON’T PANIC! On 64 bit Windows, you have two separate configurations for ODBC.

If you’re planning to install an evaluation copy, try and use a separate PC or Virtual Machine or you’ll find you can’t design reports when the evaluation expires. I’ve not tested with anything older yet, though I’d expect 2008 or earlier to remain. That side by side install you were hoping for? Sorry, despite the move to 64 bit, you’ll find that your existing 32 bit version of Crystal Reports 1 has disappeared.

It’s finally arrived, but how does the move to a 64 bit report designer change how you work? I’ve installed 2020, where’s Crystal Reports 2016 gone?
