Crystal Reports 1

What version of Crystal works with Vista 4.4? How is it integrated into Vista 4.4?

I have been using Crystal 9 & now 10 with great sucess with VISTA.
Set up for ODBC "vista VFP" should work like a dream.

Thanks. I will get my client to reinstall Crystal with one of the versions you suggest. Is there any documentation available from Epicor on the installation of integrating Crystal with 4.4 or do I just ODBC into the database and poke around to find things?


Thanks in Advance

Yes, install a standalone (9, 10 or 11)version of Crystal. I believe the current version is 11. Go into the client installed 4.4 VISTA and print out the "Data Dictionary", this is the roadmap to all the information and data tables they will need. Epicor doesn't support anything outside their limited reports included with the system. Using our own installation of Crystal reports outside of VISTA has been a great relief. I have created over 30 different VISTA reports and we use daily appr 5 to 8. The Crystal Reports are faster and you can get exactly what "you" need/want to see. Someone @ your client site will have to be proficient in using Crystal. A good place to go for misc. information is right here on Tek-Tips under Crystal Reports.
