It is stupid but I have to confess.
I copied my CR and Renamed it and worked on it and when I opened Original - all changes applied to originaland now I have 2 same exactly Reports.
There is no way to restore Original, is there?

It is no problem except time consuming.
Ever happened to anyone? bet not;(
 
Hi,
Of course not, we are all perfect..It is just you [wink][lol]

Sadly there is, as you suspected, no way to go back to the 'original' unless you are using some kind of version control and can find a previous version, before your changes..

Thanks to you - it feels better.
 
One thing that I do is regularly make a backup copy of my file of Crystal reports. Put it somewhere on my C drive so that I can go back to an older version if necessary.

I also tend to use Save As before doing any change, which means I have automatically left behind a copy of whatever I was working on. I dump them into a folder called 'Old Versions' and they are there if needed.

Worth training yourself to do such things, as I did after losing work to various ssytem problems.
