Hi Graeme. Sorry to reply to a 8 year old post…

Do you still use Bold ? I try to find all active Bold users over the world and collect them to a list.
The petition https://www.change.org/p/embarcadero-technologies-release-the-intellectual-property-of-bold-for-delphi is not dead but a bit locked. Still search for a solution. Please reply here or mail me directly at roland.bengtsson@gmail.com

First, if you have one of the latest installations of CR (XI) then it is part of distribution (or at least it was until recently)
Then, if not, check BO website here http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/vcl/default.asp

Otherwise, use Crystal RDC/COM interface to the new printing API – you will need to do somne research on this or look here:

Hey there, i’m using Delphi too, writing a database application and want to use
Crystal reports to print reports. Graeme Edwards mentioned a Delphi 7 VCL for
Crystal. I tried to find it on the Borland site, or anywhere else on the web, but
out of luck. Could anyone plz tell me where i could find this one?

Thanx a lot,

Mike from Austria

I would suggest to check FastMM debug option or any other profiler. I suspect that some of the declarations could be off (you are using COM interface, don’t you).
Also, do you get any suggestions using BO forums? If it COM issue, then might be someone seen it in other environment and fix is available.

I have downloaded and installed the Delphi 7 VCL for Crystal 11 from the borland site and installed this in Delphi 2005, 2006 and 2007.
In all cases it works fine except for one “minor” problem. When you click an item in the drill down menu when previewing a report, the application freezes.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found anybody who offers any support to fix this and I haven’t been able to track the problem myself.

Jim, What do you mean here?
Delphi 2007 is a Win32 product, there is no CR support per se, but you can still use VCL component provided by BO, if that what you meant.

How do you install Crystal Reports 11 into Delphi 2007?

yes, I am aware of that
same time Delphi 2007 is in the list of supported versions as it is on TeeChart site here http://www.steema.com/products/teechart/vcl/resources.html

Since it is third-party product, I will consider to check their support forum.
Sorry, never used it in my applications since I prefer Crystal Reports

You obviously have had no components that interact with TeeChart. There ARE some weird interactions that can happen at that point.

Serge,
Great information on the coexisting with Delphi 2006. It was said, but I was a little worried to install it on my dev. machine (you never know…._ until I get all the third-party stuff. (In case it should break I could get all over to D2007)

No worries!
