Crystal Reports Runtime 8.5 vs. 9.2

VB Crystal Report >> Crystal Reports Runtime 8.5 vs. 9.2

Our application installs and uses CR 9.2 files. Afterwards a 3rd party app
relying 8.5 CR no longer works. Reinstall that app and then ours doesn't
work. Reinstall ours and then that app doesn't work. And so on...

Are one of these applications installing\using CR improperly or is it
impossible to run 8.5 and 9.2 side-by-side? Shouldn't app coded against 8.5
work if the runtime is upped to 9.2?

Hi. We have an app where most reports are lauched via a custom dll that uses the CRAXDRT libraries (Crystal version 8.5). The remaining reports continue to use the Crystal Report control (please don't ask why, there are reasons). Most of the time they work, but we have recently found two separate deployments where these return an error "E" (yes, only one letter!). We are of course unable to duplicate this in our environment, but two separate customers have now reported this error. To make it even more interesting, we have been able to determine that loading the same .rpt file via our custom viewer does NOT return the error. So we believe this to be related directly to the Crystal control, but only in certain environments. We have also been able to "fix" the problem by forcing a reinstall of specific Crystal files, but since the app is of course installed in shared environments we don't want to stomp on anyone else' software. Suggestions are most welcome :) Thank you. -- Brad Ashforth

I'm about to begin migrating quite a few reports created using Crystal Reports 8.5 to Crystal Reports (Business Objects) 11. I'd like to know if there's anything specific I need to do to "convert" the existing version 8.5 reports to version 11 aside from just opening them using Business Objects XI and then saving them, or is there some sort of more specific process that I should go through in converting the reports from this older format to the most recent format? Thanks! Sincerely, Brad H McCollum
