Thanks for your insight. I'm not exactly sure why we are using the Oracle ODBC drivers instead of CR, but I will experiment with the CR driver and see if it works.
Yes, I agree that pasted SQL code can be changed, but I'm not sure that our users, who dabble in Crystal, are sophisticated...

I have seen documentation that states that if you are linking tables from two different ODBC data sources (mine are both Oracle), the link fields can only be STRING field types. This appears to be the case with CR7, CR8.5, and CR9. Does anyone know if higher versions have corrected this...
We have clients who wish to run Crystal Reports 7 .exe compiled reports with Crystal Reports 9 installed on their PCs. It looks like this is a no-no. Has anyone been able to do this? Of course we could just distribute the version 7 .rpt files to them, and 9 would run them OK, but the compiled...
