crsytl32.ocx

Hi...I have a problem: I built an application with VB6 and Crystal Reports 4.6...The version number of crystl32.ocx that was included in my application: 4.6.3714 Things go fine on my client's computers, until I found out that one of the computers already has a crystl32.ocx version: 5.0.0.106 and it caused my application raise an error when trying to print : "438: Object doesn't support this property or method"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't newer versions suppose to accomodate methods from the previous versions?

note: I use INNO setup to create an installer package, and if the installer finds a newer version of an OCX, it will NOT copy my OCX to the system.

What do I do?

Try this, tell INNO to place your ocx in the application folder rather than the system folder. This way the target machine will have both ocx's and your app can use the one it want or needs to.

Not everything is as backward compatible as microsoft would like us to believe.

Thanks and Good Luck!
