CR11 -> CE10

[waldopepper]

As the title suggests, we have Crystal Enterprise v10 running on a server and a user in our company evaluating Crystal Reports v11 wants to know how compatible they are - can you save a v11 Report to a v10 Enterprise environment and have it behave as normal (e.g. you might lose v11-specific features but everything else would work OK)?

You cannot save a report CR11 to CE10 as you will get the following error

Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS

Ah great - thanks for the info.

Hi,
However, you can publish a XI version report to CE10 by using the CE10 publishing wizard...

Hi guys, just to let you know the user managed to save a v11 report to the CE c10 environment and it worked fine saving it directly (not using the publishing wizard).

Looks like the test report was very basic so perhaps if you don't use any of the v11 features then you're allowed to save the report this way.

However I wouldn't recommend it because you can't use v11 Reports to open a report from v10 Enterprise!
