Can I display the CR version number on a report?

[OverDraft]

I'm working in a shop which has both Crystal 8.5 and Crystal 10 on various machines (soon to have 11 as well) and I'm wondering if anybody knows whether or not there's a way to determine the version that a particular report was run under and display that on the report itself.

I'm looking for a way to identify the version after processing (like when looking at a report file that has been exported or printed).

(I looked around at the "special formulas" in both 8.5 and 10 but I didn't see anything that applied.)

Hi,
Why not have the report designer annotate the report with the version used? Or use a parameter to ask the user to indicate the version used to run it and show that value?

Thanks Turkbear. Using a parm is a good idea and would work in some instances. But for others, the reports are being run in a batch mode by an automated scheduler. (In fact sometimes a given report may be run either way and on different machines which is one reason I became interested in keeping track of the versions to begin with.)

Bump - Just wondering if anybody else has any idea?
