Crystal Runtime Date Selection Error

Crystal Reports are essential in Sage 500 ERP, and their functionality is crucial for generating accurate reports. However, sometimes errors occur, and it's up to us to troubleshoot and find a solution.

Recently, a customer reported an issue where they could not run a crystal report and click the calendar lookup for date parameters. They encountered a Script Error that halted their progress and reached out for assistance. As experts, we delved into the problem and found a solution that could be helpful to others facing similar issues.

I resolved this error by copying newer java script files into C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\prompting\js.

What I discovered was the original promptengine_calendar.js file was from 2007, so I was able to replace it with a file from 10/26/2008. Once I re-launched Sage 500 ERP and ran the report again, it returned the expected prompt:
