Problem Printing / Exporting Crystal Reports

by dblanman . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I am having a problem with some Crystal Reports
that I am trying develop using .NET 2 in a web
application utilizing MS SQL Express 2005
I am using Crystal Reports that comes bundled
with Visual Studio 2005. I use the “push”
method where a dataset is defined. All my
reports get displayed OK but some of them crash
when I click “Print” or “Export” with the error
below. Some get printed / exported OK.
–><-- Input string was not in a correct format. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. --><-- I started removing report fields one after the other in order to find out which one is causing the "incorrect format" error until I removed all the fields and the report became blank and it still crashes with the same error. I found a suggestion advises changing xs:decimal to sx:double in the dataset but that did not solve the problem. I am new to .NET and web development. Any suggestions would be most appreciated
