Downgrade to 8.5

[jjames]

Hello,

I've written an application in VB 6 that integrates Crystal Developer 9.0. Much to my dismay, I've learned that because of Unicode issues, reports built in 9.0 will not run on most computers with 95/98 and ME. I've tried the solution suggested by BO but could not get it to work. I've looked through many posts here on the issue and it seems the best solution is to re-write the reports in 8.5. How do I get a version of Crystal Developer 8.5?

Many Thanks

You can still find people selling CR 8.5 developer at around $500:

And don't forget to try Ebay. There's a version of CR 8.5 Developer @ $50.00 US right now.

Thank you both for your replies. Obviously the $50.00 solution is more appealing but I am unable to find the item on ebay. Dave, can you tell me what key words I should search? I've tried the obvious but all I get are version 9's and 10's. Thanks again.

Search for "Crystal Reports Developer Edition v8.5".

It appears that I didn't get the listing because it was tagged as only available in USA. I'll have to look around locally I guess. Thanks for your time.
