Error Viewing a Report in Vista AxCrystalActiveXReportViewer
17/09/2008 09:38:52 Messasge: Unable to get the window handle for the 'AxCrystalActiveXReportViewer' control. Windowless ActiveX controls are not supported. Source: System.Windows.Forms Stack Trace: at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.InPlaceActivate() at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.TransitionUpTo(Int32 state) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.EndInit() at CrystalDelivery.frmViewer.InitializeComponent() at CrystalDelivery.frmViewer..ctor() at CrystalDelivery.frmMain.ViewReport() Target Site: Void InPlaceActivate() Above is an error we are getting when trying to view a very simple report in version 7.0.7. I have tried the following to attempt to resolve the issue: 1. Installed Crystal Reports 2. Installed .Net 2.0 SDK to change .Net Permissions (reports are on network) 3. Turned DEP on (and turned it off again) 4. Installed version 6 None of these have resolved the problem. Any help would be gratefully received.

I am currently having the same issue when trying to use a windowless view through a finance package. Works fine in XP Has a solution been found for this? Kind Regards, Phil

Ok, I have had a bit of a play and the line of code bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff Does resolve the issue. How ever it does make the computer very vulnerable. Is there a switch that will allow to just set the value off for a particular application? I tried through System but no go as says unable to set parameter for this application. I will have to force through cmd. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Phil
