Crystal Report Version Detection 1

[DoDo77]

Is there a way to determine what version of Crystal the report was written in?

If you export the report using Report Definition as the format, it'll tell you what version the report was created (or last saved) in.

I've tried this and the export definition seems to dispaly the version of CR you are using for the Export. I took a CR8 report and exported in CR9 and it said it was CR9.

Crystal used to have a utility called "reports at a glance" that did this - but only for older versions. It was on the CD but not installed with the program.

If I export a version 8 or 8.5 report from CR9, this is what I get:
