The major problem i currently see in the Xcelsius + Explorer ipad la la party is the disregard from Android devices and Iphone,although BI4 feature pack 3 will support iphone and android in Q2 this year. I can't see long life for Xcelsius while HTML5 is the future and while most of the organiztaion deployments is still smartphones like Iphone and Android. Xcelsius engine will be replaced to HTML5 and while the Excel layer is also a limitation i can't see how the product will remain the same instead of becoming what it should be: A native web + smartphone application that isn't bound to Excel ,connects directly to data and visualiztion objects with simple drag & drop. Thanks Yoav Hi David,

Glad it was helpful. Thanks too for the feedback.... you never know if these articles are helpful or not. Sorry about the snow effect impacting your browser. I'm running IE8 and am not seeing the flicker... but that said it's time to turn off the "winter" anyway. Hope you had a good holiday with your family and friends. Great. Glad it was helpful.

Sorry about the snow effect impacting your browser. I’m running IE8 and am not seeing the flicker… but that said it’s time to turn off the “winter” anyway. Hope you had a good holiday with your family and friends.

One minor criticism though, the seasonal "snow" effect on this web page (as at 4th Jan 2012) is making my browser (IE8) flicker like crazy, makes it hard to focus on the content.

Your current Crystal is 32-bit but it attempting to connect to a 64-bit data connector. This isn't possible. If Crystal is 32-bit, it can only connect to a 32-bit driver. If you are using Visual Studio 2010, you will need to upgrade to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. This is a 64-bit version of Crystal Reports.
