Hi Peter

When you open the reports in CR XI first save them with "Save As" before doing any modifications.

You need to save the subreports as well. If you have individual reports as subreports in it, please first open those and save them as well.

Please let us know if you get any error again.

Hope this helps!!!

many thanks for your help, but still the same problem. Error 2147206429, Invalid TLV report.

Ask the "owner" of the other software if they support CR 11 and then ask them to resolve the issue, if it still is one.

Hi Peter,

Do your reports run in XI? It sounds like the errors you are getting are from your application in which case your application will need to be updated with the XI print engine and that may be a problem.

Good luck,

Hi Brian,

could be the reason, sounds good. I can remember we had this problem (or similar) about 2 years ago, by changing or adding a small file it was solved. However i guess its worth to follow up, here are my questions

1. where do i get the print engine (or driver) for CR XI ?

2. is it possible to have two print engines installed at the same time and location? as most of the reports do not need to be changed and can still work with the old one.

3 how is a print engine named (file type or name) so i could locate the old one and will know where i do have to place the new one. Can anyone forward me the print engine as a attached file on email? Sorry guys as mentioned i am just a user who try to solve a problem and over here (Thailand, Pattaya) i havent found a specialist which is for sure be able to solve it in less then an hour. But i highly appriciate that all of you trying to help and support me. Many thanks to all at this point.

Hi

The possible reason for this could be these reports were referencing a custom formula or custom function that is not supported in the other version due to file type / path mismatch.

-Try copying the .rpt file in a different location and then run the report.

-Would suggest you to suppress the objects(subreports,OLE objects etc if any)and section one by one and then refresh the report and then see if still you get the error message.
