Converting 8.0 to 9.0

[jjwild]

We have reports written in CR 8.0 created in VB 6.0 under the RDC and either being sent to the printer or viewed in the CRViewer control.

These reports are generally written against a table and then passed the recordset to print at run time.

We are thinking of moving to CR 9.0.

How hard is it to convert from 8.0 to 9.0? Anyone have problems? Anyone not have problems?

Thanks,

John

It really depends on what you're doing with the RDC code. There are minor changes that may affect you. One warning: Once you've saved the report in the CR 9 designer, you can't go back to previous versions.

Thanks for the data.

Do you know where I can find a list of the changes? I have looked at the CrystalDecisions web site and haven't been able to find.
