New crystal reports not displaying

[Rhaegar]

I use crystal reports 8 to design reports based on the symposium call centre server. The reports are then loaded in the Symposium system and run from there. Old reports created several months ago work fine and display properly. Now however any new reports that are created do not display when they are run. Theories are that there is a problem between the print dll and and runtime dll for getting the report, but then why would old reports work fine? It seems that the reports are running in a way because once they have been clicked on to run, although they don't display, the reports cannot be edited in crystal because the file is in use. Any ideas?

When I last used Symposium, it was at least one version behind in it's Cr support.

With CR8 you can save your rpt as a CR7 report - see if that lets the report run from within the app. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

Good idea... but unfortunately no luck.

In the meantime I have tried some other things. I have opened a report that does work in crystal, modified it slightly and then saved it as a different filename as a CR8 report. For some reason this works fine. It must be something within the report that is causing this.
