The attached utility will record objects that are used in a series of reports. Usage is as follows:
[quote:61cb8b7957=“Author’s notes”]- Create a temporary directory.
Place all documents (.rep files) to be analyzed in that directory.
Place this document in that same directory.
Open this document, and refresh.
Each document in the directory will be opened, and data provider objects recorded.
There will be a lot of screen flashing as the documents are opened and closed.
A message will be displayed when the refresh is complete.

Please note that it is not possible to record objects used in sub-queries, or when an object is used as the operand (right hand side of a condition). This is a limitation of the object model. List Objects Used - XI.rep (124.0 KB) List Objects Used v5, v6.rep (88.0 KB)
I had created some reports with different user account and they could not be accessed via the account I am using currently, though they can still be accessed using the administrator credentials.
Now the problem with using the administration credential is that the report does not pick up the right universe or it comes up with the screen to choose the universe from and this application ends up in error.
I am very sure you can put a log somewhere on the same folder stating the files which were not processed and still continue with the next.
Indeed, but I will politely decline. The utilities I post here helped me get through some tedious work of my own. I share them in case someone else finds them useful, to serve as samples of the kinds of things that are possible with the SDK, and hopefully are worth at least as much as you paid for them .
The kinds of behavior you are seeing are the same things you would see if done manually. Those behaviors were not issues for me, but you are more than welcome to enhance the utility to handle those situations for yourself. No extra charge!!!
I know this is an old thread now and you probably barely use the report, but I have a question.
I’ve adapted the code in this report by adding the code to retrieve user-defined variables and also enabling the report to look in sub folders. This all works fine (with a lot of help from a collegue), but it stumbles whenever a document it opens contains Document_Open macros designed to auto refresh. I have somewhere in the region of 2000 documents for the code to go through, so this will take an age to process all the documents designed to refresh on open (it also crashes on a number of them where they are set up to save a copy or email out etc). Basicaly, my question is “can I avoid the Document_Open command on opening?”.
I have tried a number of work arounds, including restricting the users ability to refresh reports (in Supervisor), but this disables the data provider, restricting access to the universe.
I’m not sure that is possible. If you have the “Refresh Document When Opening” set, that is already handled (won’t execute) with one of the .Open method parameters. If your own code is doing the refresh, I can’t think of a way to avoid that.
Can someone assist me in getting this to open? I’m assuming it is a Crystal Report file and I should be able to open in CR XI.
When I try, I get an error message that says:
This document has the expected file extension (.RPT), but seems to be corrupted. If this report used to work, try opening it with a different version of Crystal Reports and if that still does not work, please contact your administrator.
I’ve tried both the XI and v5,v6 files and get the same message from either.
What would give you that idea? The .rep extension indicates a full client (now called Desktop Intelligence) document. Manually changing it to .rpt is not going to make it a Crystal Reports document, sorry.
I have a question about this… Im working with the download for 6.xx and wondering; We have a universe created that gives us backend information about users, groups, universes, etc. On the report from the download, Im trying to create/add a dataprovider to go after information with this backend universe we have. In the universe weve got an object called “Universe Name” that is created from table/field, universe.M_UNI_C_LONGNAME. On the report, Im linking this object to the Object, Universe Name which on the download is DataRow(5) = DProv.Universe.LongName in the code. (I changed this from 'DataRow(5) = DProv.Universe.ShortName & “-” & DProv.UniverseName).
The data that comes back is identical but its not working. The VBA code is working properly, listing only the universe(s) used in the report(s). But the object from my new dataprovider is giving me all universe names that we have, and Im just expecting the universe name(s) that are on the selected reports. Im wondering .is the VBA code executing before or after the dataprovider is refreshed? Reason why I’m here is that I use this awesome download to list the information about a report but I’m also trying to get more info about the universe…I also want the table and field names of each of the objects on the report…
