Compare RPTs 1

[popseven]

Hi Guys,

Is there any tool or something that I can use to compare the same reports (same filenames) but of diff'rent builds? Say if I have myrpt.rpt which is dated 01/01/06. I'd like to compare it with myrpt.rpt dated 04/01/06 to know the changes that was made in between these dates.

I'm using crystal report 8.5

TIA,
Popseven

I don't know of one, some of the better tools are by Softwareforces:

You can always export the reports to the Crystal Reports Definition File format and use a text compare utility to get an idea of this.
