In Crystal Reports, the following error message is displayed when an invalid character is used in the database
table alias name: Query Engine Error: “The alias requested “myaliasname”, contains a combination of
characters which is not considered to be valid”. The invalid characters are: .:{}()@&$#^!*~|%", -+>,/\`
New Behavior:
A registry subkey now exists that Crystal Reports uses to identify what characters are considered to be invalid
for alias names. By default, the registry subkey value data contains the following characters:
.:{}()@&$#^!*~|%"- If you wish to use one of the invalid characters in an alias name, remove the desired
character from the registry subkey value data.
The registry subkey is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareCrystal Decisions9.0Crystal
