QUESTION:
When I click on DataFlex in the connection tree, I do not see DAT or INT files displayed by default. In previous versions of Crystal Reports we could configure the default file types using File | Options menu. Where do we configure that in Crystal Reports XI?
ANSWER:
That should be done automatically when youinstall the Crystal Connectivity Kit 11. If you still don't see .DATs and .INTs as part of your default files, is because you probably did not have rights to update the registry entry in your machine when you installed the CK.
You can add them using regedit:
- Start regedit
- Locate the following entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\DatabaseSelector
- Add the extensions to DatabaseSelector ("*.dat;*.int" -- without quotes)
- Save
When you open the Designer again and select DataFlex, the "User Default" file type should display all DATs and INTs present in the selected folder.
Important!
Be careful when using regedit. You should not use it to change anything else in your system. If you are unsure on how to use it, request assistant from your system administrator.
