My application is in VB6. I prepare distributions with Wise Install Master. Exports in pdf format work for some of my users but not for others. John Kisner

Still using 8.5. No problem exporting when Crystal is installed. But when using in a distributed application and attempt export pdf format to disk (or to MAPI) page selection displays, then nothing. I must be missing something to include in my distribution? John Kisner

The thread "Is Vista ready for Prime Time has had very good responses. My conclusion is that it is if you are ready. Some of the responses dealt with what is necessary to be ready. Anyone else with info on getting ready? John Kisner

I need to be able to send a fax from the Crystal preview screen. XP and Crystal 8.5 now but am willing to buy current Crystal. Workstation has a fax modem. 1. Do I need 3rd party fax package? 2. Can user be prompted for fax phone number? 3. Can fax phone number be picked from the report...

We are a small shop with deep experience in VB6. The choice between Java and VB.Net for us may be heavily influenced by having been a captive of Microsoft. If we start over with VB.Net will we be faced in the future with starting over with something else? Not to mention the regular steep...
