PROBLEM:
I am using Visual DataFlex 9.1 and Crystal 9 and trying to export a report to Microsoft Word format using MAPI destination -- i.e. send an email with the report in Word format as an attachment.
If I use the other format options (e.g. text), it works and the email is sent with the .TXT file enclosed without problems. However, if I set the destination to MAPI and the export file format to MS Word, errors occur.
Using Crystal 8.5 the problem did not occur. Do you have any idea what the problem is?
SOLUTION:
The dll (and internal structures) used for exporting has changed in Crystal Reports 9. Unfortunately, the CrystalReport.pkg uses hardcoded dll names for exporting. This is a known issue with CRW9 and up.
The attached file contains a new subclass. The subclass doesn't support all new types (no HTML and destinations & no App, Notes, Post or VIM). Very little testing has been done, but this file is available as a beta package in order to help developers until the fix is incorporated into the product.
Be aware that this is NOT a fully tested or supported file.
