Convert backward from CR9 to CR8.5

[5lights]

I had to write a report in CR9 to get the CrossTables with %percentages, but the distribution (CE9) is not available to the User. Do I have to re-write everything from scratch in CR8.5 . Or is there any shortcut. I cant believe theres no "Save As" older version functionality

In the future, you might want to check on "backward compatability" before you begin writing a report. There WAS the ability in rev 8.5 to Save As a rev 7 report but that was quite unusual (for Crystal or any other application).
Time to start over in 8.5

I just finished re-writing it in CR8.5. I got the responses I expected....was just hoping for some little known shortcut. Next project: to write a purchase request for 'BO XI' so I can distribute reports without the version limits within the host applications.

If you're saying that you want to write a report that can take advantage of some new feature (like dynamic parameters) and have an older version of the software that knows NOTHING of the new capability, let me know when you get that done, I'll buy ALL the stock in your new company 'cause you figured out how to do something that no one else has been able to do.
