cViewTEXT for Crystal Reports: Include dynamic text in your Crystal Reports

cViewTEXT lets you load dynamic text into a Crystal Report. You could use it for a custom disclaimer in the page footer, or to add a custom message.

With cViewTEXT, you can reference a database field with a text file name and include the text from that file in your report.


cViewTEXT uses a COM data driver to process the text in a ADO recordset. 

The text file can be plain text, html or rich text. If you use HTML or Rich Text, you can then format it using the Text Interpretation feature.

Do not install cViewTEXT if you are running Crystal Reports 8.0 or earlier, because the COM data source first appeared with Crystal Reports 8.5 and will not work with prior versions.
 

 

 

 
 

More about cViewTEXT

What Crystal versions will cViewTEXT work with?

The COM data source used by cViewTEXT is included with Crystal Reports v8.5, Crystal Reports v9.0 and Crystal Reports v10. We have not yet tested to see if it will work with CR.Net as that is a version between 8.5 and 9.0 with some features unavailable. The COM data source will NOT work with CR8.0 or earlier versions. 
We include the Crystal Reports v8.5 and Crystal Reports v9.0 COM driver in the \Drivers subfolder of the cViewTEXT install.

How can I use cViewTEXT to take a file name from a database and display an text inside a Crystal Report?

 

Report Designers needing to take a file name from a database and to display an text from the file name inside a Crystal Report have found this approach works best.:

  1. Design your report using the tables, fields, etc you need in the main report.
  2. Create a subreport using the COM data driver and the cViewTEXT.SingleImage data source. When the ImageFile parameter appears, use the name of one of your text files.
  3. LINK the field in the main report to the ImageFile parameter in the subreport. Do not select the default value and create a new parameter in the subreport.
  4. Format the subreport to display the text the way you want

 

Where is the COM data source for cViewTEXT?

The COM data source appears under:

  • “COM Data” under “Create New Connection” if you are using CR9.0.
  • "“Active Data sources” if you are using CR v8.5.

Go to the Program Files\cViewTEXT\Drivers subfolder to see the Crystal Reports v8.5 and Crystal Reports v9.0 COM driver. The cViewTEXT\Drivers subfolder is created as part of the of the cViewTEXT install. The Readme.txt file tells you which driver to use and where to place it so that CR lists the source for your report.
