PureMorning Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 My knowledge of crystal reports is little to none but like everything else in the .NET world, I thought that if I change the .rpt file and replace the .rpt file that is running on the server then the changes would be effective immediately. However in attempting this I am finding that the file that I am uploading is not working. In fact I have even deleted the original .rpt file from the server but the website is still using it somehow. Can anybody give me some kind of explanation for this? Thanks. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted August 25, 2003 Moderators Posted August 25, 2003 Is it possible that it's cached in memory? Quote Visit...Bassic Software
PureMorning Posted August 26, 2003 Author Posted August 26, 2003 I don't believe that that is possible because I have went back to the site since I have restarted my computer several times and I also cannot find the .rpt file anywhere on the server. Quote
KenpoMatt Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I can offer a few suggestions: 1) Like Robby said, it sounds like a caching issue. Empty out your temporary internet files on the client machine. In IE Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files. 2) Check the properties of the report in the .Net solution Explorer. Make sure the "Full Path" is pointing to the correct report. 3) Do not keep old versions of the report in the same directory as your good report on the web server. I've run into cases with IIS where it will point to the wrong source. This generally happens if you copy & rename old code/reports into the same directory. It's rare but it does happen. 4) It doesn't sound like you are using Crystal Enterprise. But, if you are, make sure you have properly removed the old version of the report and replaced it with the new one. Also, make sure your are using the proper SI_ID so that you are not pointing to a previous instance of the report. Quote
Daspoo Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 PureMorning, Is the report (i.e., .rpt file) an actual part of the project and is that project already published to the server? If so, perhaps making the change to the report on the development machine, building the project, and then copying the changed files to the server, as well as the project .dll files from the \bin directory, will resolve this issue. It's worth a shot... Good luck! Quote 3,450,897,223 posts away from crazy...
