We're running into an issue with the Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer in a 3rd party piece of software.
When I try to run my report, it fails with the following error message:
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
Error in File MyReport
Error in formula MyFormula
'{MyDataSource.MyField}
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
If I create a formula in one of my subreports that returns one of the fields, it creates this failure. Within Crystal Reports XI, I don't see this error; only in the 3rd party software.
Yes, it's possible the 3rd party software might be at fault, but I'm suspecting they're not. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever experienced something like this before and can offer a possible general explanation as to where an error like this might come from? A little more information if it helps:
1. I'm using a stored procedure as the data source.
2. The stored procedure contains all of these fields (if it didn't, I'm sure I'd be seeing the same failure in Crystal Reports XI, but I did check anyway).
3. Originally, the report worked fine in the 3rd party software; it only started failing once I changed the data source (the original source might have had a few slight differences in terms of what fields it had, but anything being used in my report is contained in both stored procedures). both the original and the new stored procedure are the same type: ODBC (RDO).
I greatly appreciate any help on this.
Thank you.
