Crystal Reports 8 and 11 Question?

[gennaroalpha7]

Hello All -

Thanks for your help in advance.

I have CR8 on my computer, and I want to transition to CR11.

My question: Can CR8 and CR11 reside on the same computer? Will CR11 open reports created in CR8?

If I open a CR8 report with CR11, what kind of problems can I expect to find?

Thx.

G.

Yes. Opening should not be an issue, issues running and saving back as CR11, hard to say. It seems to depend a lot on your data sources and how complicated the reports are.

Hi -

Can CR8 coexist with Crystal 2011 (Developer) SP4 on the same computer?

I know I asked this question earlier, but now I know the exact version of CR11

Thanks.

They should. I haven't had CR 8 installed for a long time. But I have had CR 9 installed with 2011 with no issues.
