    Has anyone seen this error. I am having troubles creating an instance on a report and keep getting this error.

    The string is non-numeric. Details: errorKind The string is non-numeric. Error in File E:\TEMP\{59CDEF6F-DD88-407B-B733-9378F9645DC3}.rpt: Error in formula . 'tonumber({@Convert Date to Period})' The string is non-numeric. Details: errorKind

    Unable to retrieve Object.

    It has something to do with a formula I created however the report works fine on my stand alone crystal verison. I am using crystal version 11.0.0.2178

    Thank

      Hi Marc,

      Does it work when you publish the report on LBI and then run it from the Crystal Launchpad (located on your LBI box, under the Crystal Server (I believe) start menu)?

          Is this a formula that is stored in the report, or are you referencing a formula stored in a Crystal/BO repository?
          Try renaming the formula to not have spaces, e.g. @ConvertDateToPeriod.

            I just tried to remove the spaces and that didn't work I recieved the same error.

            The formulas I am using are

            left(totext({Command.CUQED}),2)

            This converts the date totext and just picks out the period and I am also using this formula then to make the period a number

            tonumber({@ConvertDatetoPeriod})

              Since you're getting the same error when you run the report from the CE Launchpad, this is Crystal/BO error, not an LBI error.
              Are you using the Lawson OLEDB connector to get the data?

                I am using the Query Builder for Lawson OLEDB Services...and then I am using the reports tab and pulling my data from RW reports.

                  Are you able to run this report from the Report Designer? Have you been able to run Lawson OLEDB/Query Builder reports from the server (not from the Report Designer)?

                    When you say report designer do you mean --in crystal when I hit the refresh button. Because when I run the report in Crystal Reports 11 it works.

                      Marc, did you ever get this working?

                        Yes we did get it to work. There was a formula error in the crystal report that was not allowing it to run in LBI. Eventhough it did work in crystal before we changed the formula there was a isnull formula that needed to be added. Thanks for checking up
