Dan, do you know how to stop the report from refreshing itself every minute or so? To do anything (Dev) I have to wait for it to finish scanning/reloading all 3332 pages. This is when I'm looking at the "Preview" tab.
I figured out my problem here so I thought I'd post it for those doing a Google search of this issue.
Ok I figured out the problem. You may want to file this away in your memory
banks…..
I noted that the refresh of the records in
CR was happening all on its own, whether or not I was working in CR or just
letting it sit. My laptop is a Macbook
Pro running Parallels 6 with a Win7 Ultimate virtual machine. I do all my CR Dev in Parallels/Win7. What was happening was that, in the options
for Parallels, there is an option to keep the clock for the virtual machine
sync’d with the Mac. I turned that
option off and the problem went away. Turned
it back on, and the problem was back.
Turned it off again, problem gone.
Since the clocks were updating with each
other every minute to stay sync’d, this sync event was noticed by the Win7
operating system, thus causing CR to refresh its open report every minute.
I could see this also happening if using a
third party system clock sync program, especially if it’s set to a short update
time value.
I only wish I was as good at Crystal Reports Development as I am troubleshooting this kind of stuff!!
