8.5 Reports Don't Work in 9

[Hypermommy]

We're having a problem with a formula in 9.0 that worked in 8.5. According to our company's report writer the last line of code doesn't appear to be executing. The only thing in the formula is a rather complex if then else construct and apparently the last line under the last else isn't executing right.

Any ideas what would cause this?

Any other differences between 8.5 and 9.0 reports that we should be aware of?

I appreciate the offer of help, pgtek, but I did, of course, search Crystal before putting the question up here. Searched every possible keyword I can think of, in fact. Do you have a search criteria that I can use there that can help me find something on point to the problem I'm having? If not, I'd just be repeating work since I've already done that.

Thanks anyway, though!

Crystal 9 checks IF THEN expressions more strictly than Crystal 8.5.

Make sure all branches of the IF THEN return the same data type.
