Crystal Reports Crashing with Memo fields

[Former Member]

Hi All, I am trying to figure out why Crystal Reports is crashing on me. I have been trying Crystal Reports 9 and 2013. When running a report on a local machine the report runs fine. When running it on a terminal services session is crashing. I have narrowed it down to a memo (or long text) field. I am connecting to a MySQL database with MySQL 5.1 driver on a Windows 8 Terminal Services Session. Any help appreciated.

Just searching the web, but any ideas where I can get a 3.51 driver?

So so the 3.1 driver in and I could not connect to my server. Authentication issue. maybe the 3.1 used and older authentication. The mysql is on version 5.1. Anyway noticed that there was an ODBC driver 5.2. Tried that and bingo. Thanks

Hi Jason,

Could be the drivers. CR has had issues with the MySQL 5.1 drivers especially crashing issues. Could you try downgrading to the 3.x driver and see if that helps?
