Crystal Compatibility Issues - 6.0 vs 8.5 - What are they?

[mogwaicat]

We are working on a system that used CR 6.0 and VB 6 - If we buy CR 8.5 what kinds of compatibility issues will we encounter? Do we need to change the reports or the VB in any way or is it simply a matter of saving the CR 6.0 reports as CR 8.5 reports? Thanks!

There was an important change in the way variables are shared. What was the default in Version 6 is now not the default in 8.5 and reverse.

The store and fetch functions are gone.

I am fairly sure you will have to do some report by report editing if your reports are complex. Crystal Reports training, consulting, books, training material and on-site support. Scheduled traing in 8 cities.
