This software offers a suite of 16 tools to efficiently edit, analyze, document, modify, and convert one or multiple Crystal Reports simultaneously. It is specifically designed for Crystal Reports XI and is touted as the most powerful and integrated software of its kind.
One of the standout features of rpt Inspector is its ability to easily work with multiple Crystal Reports at once. In just seconds, an in-memory cross-reference object and property index is created for each open Crystal Report. By selecting an object such as Formula, Text, Section, or Parameter, users are able to instantly view its properties, including definition text, color, font, prompting text, default values, and more.
The true power of rpt Inspector is demonstrated when selecting multiple objects, even across different Crystal Reports. The software is able to display the properties these objects have in-common, making it easy to compare and analyze data from multiple reports.
In addition to its many features, rpt Inspector supports a variety of file formats. The software reads CR 5-XI file formats and writes CR XI file format. Other editions of the software support CR 8.5, CR 9, and CR 10. With its comprehensive features and support for multiple file types, rpt Inspector is a must-have tool for anyone who works with Crystal Reports.
Version 3.02:
o [Objects Pane - ALL TABS] - Fixed issue with Export to Excel in certain cases resulting in "#VALUE!" / invalid values in cells.
o [Wizards - Change data source / database] - Added support of DAO (Data Access Object) connectivity for Access and Excel to supported destinations. Listed in the wizard as "Access/Excel (DAO)" in the list of available destinations (on page 3 of the wizard).
o [TOOLS|OPTIONS - Misc] - Added option to "Use Schema Nodes in Database Wizard". Defaults to enabled. Necessary when working with destination connections which have same named tables in multiple schemas -- in which case you must select the schema name, not just the connection in the wizard.
o [Wizards - Change data source / database] - Added new child node to destination connection. If "Use Schema Nodes in Database Wizard" is enabled in "TOOLS|OPTIONS - Misc", and if the destination connection type supports schemas, then you'll see listed under the destination connection node (as a child node) the schema (on page 3 of the wizard). In which case you must now select the schema in the destination connection before the wizard will allow you to continue. However, if this option is disabled, it is enough to select the destination connection (as was the case in previous builds) before the wizard will allow you to continue.
o [Wizards - Change data source / database] - Fixed issue with File DSN for ODBC connection destination, not being saved properly.
o [File - OPEN] - Added option in "TOOLS|OPTIONS - File" an option to set the default Open dialog. The choices are "File System Dialog", "Folders Dialog". Defaults to "File System Dialog"
o [TOOLS|OPTIONS - Viewer] - Fixed issue where even though "Display Viewer on Startup" was off, viewer was still displayed.
o [Wizards - Change data source / database] - Fixed "Verify Database" appearing each time and requiring you to click on "OK" during processing.
o [Objects Pane - ALL TABS] - Fixed issue with improperly sorting date columns.
o [Objects Pane - ALL TABS] - Fixed checkbox selection on grouped rows. In certain cases, clicking the checkbox on some rows would not result in a selection.
o [File - SAVE] - Fixed issue in trial mode which would complain that the "SAVE LIMIT EXCEEDED", even if you've never saved before, and result in a non-save.
