Crystal 8.5 vs 9

[OracleVictim]

Has anyone experienced this? I have Crystal .rpt files written using Crystal 8.5. These reports are presently acccessed with a VB client using a Crystal Viewer object.

I installed .Net on my developer workstation. It comes with Crystal 9. I modified a .rpt file using Crystal 9 and now it is no longer functional in my VB project.

It appears as though the VB runtime library does not support Crystal 9. Am I missing something? Or is this how it all works.

Yes, the CR 9 format is incompatible with previous versions. I think this is due to the fact that CR 9 is fully unicode compliant, and previous versions were not. Once saved in CR 9, you will not be able to run the report using the CR 8.5 dll's.
