Help - how do I acquire Crystal Reports V5??

[michaelharrington]

I need a copy of CR 5 but I cannot find one anywhere. I need to maintain old reports from V5 but cannot do it using v10. When saving the report is does not work in the application it is used. I have been told I have to use V5 to work on them

Any ideas of where I can get CR v5 would be greatly appreciated.

You could try Business Objects. I have been told that they will sell you old media (for compatibility) at a nominal charge if you have purchase a current edition.

You could also check Ebay. Today there are 2 v7, 1 v6 and 1 v3 (with Delrina Formflow).

Only v5 can be saved as a v5.
