[vera2004]

Hi All,
I tried to deploy a report (let's say test.rpt), developed with crystal reports v10, on windows98 machine and it did not work because of some dlls. Is it possible to make it work crystal reports 10 and windows98?

Thank you in advance.

UNICODE support.

unicows.dll, atl.dll, ...

My experience is that sometimes this works perfectly, but other times it is simply not worth the time & effort.

Thank you very much!
I'll give a try. Our problem is that most of computers we have are with win98 and we don't want to upgrade right now. If it doesn't work with win98 we will downgrade to CR9.
Thank you once again.

It's the same issue with CR 9 since UNICODE support started with that version...

CR 8.5 doesn't have that issue.

What do you think about web deployment (RAS)?
Does it have the same issue?
Thank you
