Q.
I get the
database logon prompt when I generate reports. How do I fix it? |
|
|
A.

This issue happens on some computers. The
registry keys for both Seagate Software (Crystal Report) and
Microsoft, which specify the path to the Microsoft Access
“System.mdw” file are not pointing to the same location.
System.mdw is the Access security file that contains user level
security information.
Please try the following:
Option 1:
1.
Click "Select Database" to select the sample database "printSaver_Sample.mdb"
that is located in the installation folder of Print Job
Report e.g. C:\Program
Files\Reporting Tool\Print Job Report.
2.
Click "Generate Report" and select a report from the dropdown
list. If the report is generated correctly, then select the real
database in the installation folder of
PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager (e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager).
Option 2:
If
you have MS-Access 2007 installed on your computer, you can use
it to open the database file
e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager\printsaver.mdb,
then in Print Job Report, click "Select Database" and
"Generate Report" to see if you can see the report.
Option 3:
1, Install Print Job Report on a different computer
2, Share the database folder from the computer where Print Job
Manager is installed (e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager).
3.
Map the network share folder from the computer where Print Job
Report is installed
(e.g. \\Print Job Manager Computer Name \ Shared Database
Folder).
4, Click "Select Database" in Print Job Report
and connect to the shared database (e.g. \\Print Job Manager Computer Name \
Shared Database Folder \ printSaver.mdb).
Option 4:
1, Exit Printer Admin - Print Job Report if it is running.
2, Download
http://www.PrinterAdmin.com/download/SYSDB32.EXE .
3, Double click “Sysdb32.exe” to run it. If there are no Seagate
Software keys visible in Sysdb32.exe window, click "OK" and
launch
Sysdb32.exe again. Running this utility a second time will
create the
Seagate Software registry keys. Please see the following
screenshot.
4, Start Printer Admin - Print Job Report.

Option 5:
Download and install Microsoft Jet 4 Database Engine Service
Pack 8 (SP8)
Windows 9x/NT
http://www.PrinterAdmin.com/download/jet40sp8_9xnt.exe
Windows 2000
http://www.PrinterAdmin.com/download/Jet40sp8_windows2000.exe

Q. I can't
install .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows Vista. How do I fix it? |
| |
|
A.
The error pops up in the end of .NET Framework 1.1 setup
when it’s almost finished, and is registering
“System.EnterpriseServices.dll” when the error occurs, time
remaining for the installatin process shows 0 seconds.

The following workaround to fix the Microsoft.NET Framework
1.1. installation error on Vista is to slipstream .NET Framework
1.1 SP1 into .NET Framework 1.1 installer, so that both the .NET
Framework and the service pack can be installed at the same
time.
- Create a new
folder named DotNet in C:\ drive (C:\DotNet
is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you
prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following
steps).
- Download
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (http://www.printeradmin.com/download/dotnetfx.exe).
Make sure the setup file is saved as dotnetfx.exe.
- Download
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (http://www.printeradmin.com/download/dotnetfxsp1.exe).
- Move both
installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet),
if you’re not saving them together.
-
Open command prompt as Administrator.
- Change to the
directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1
are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
- Run the
following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.

dotnetfx.exe
/c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
If you’re not using C:\DotNet
directory, change the target to your path accordingly.

Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like
to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”
Wait for the uncompression, extraction
and setup to complete with the display of the following
dialog which says installation complete.

dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
No status message for this step.
msiexec.exe
/a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p
c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

Wait for Windows Installer for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
to finish and disappear automatically.
-
Install Microsoft
.Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1
by running netfx.msi created in the working
folder.
