Sage 100

I have a customer with about 1,600 custom crystal reports on MAS 4.30. Most of these are just variations of each other. I'm trying to use MASCRCW (which I was able to test on a subset fo about 100) and when I try to select all 1,600 I get a ""The instruction at 0x6503b183"" referenced memory at ""0x0000000042'. The memory could not be read. Anyone tried to do this many custom crystal reports in one sweep using MASCRCW?

No, but I sometimes get that when there is a UDF involved in the report. So I have to do the conversion in bunches and deal with the UDF reports manually. (And sometimes it's because the UDF is in the legacy modules and I just forgot to go in and update them after the conversion.)

I think thats my exact situation. Looking at that now - tx!

BINGO - you nailed it... my 1,600 reports are converting away..

WOO HOO! Too bad we still have to manually do that...

Do you not have to keep typing in password over and over again? Thought I saw a kb article saying there was no solution for this?

You need to use the older 4.3 version for v4.4 Although I have heard it was fixed in V4.5. Wayne can probably confirm that.

I was able to avoid having to type in a new password by: 1. First go into the ODBC connection on the main MASCRCW (I think you have to click setup or something) which takes you to the ODBC - on the login tab fill in the company, user , password. 2. Then login regularly in MASCRCW I was not repeatedly prompted for login. I've found if you don't take the extra step (#`1) then you are repeatedly pestered. And, yes, as @JimWoodhead points out I think at varying times this has been broken / fixed / broken -- so ymmv (your mileage may vary)...

Sounds like they need a real BI tool

How many users does this client have? 1,600 is a boat load of reports..............
