Is v5.1.7 compatible with SQL Server 2005?

[SarahG]

Hi,
I hope I have the right forum.
I'm using BO v5.1.7, and it links to a database built in SQL Server 2000. I'm going to migrate this database to SQl Server 2005. The tables and views which Business Objects reads from will not be changed w.r.t. structure, data-types, field names etc.
Does anyone know of any issues with this?
Thanks in advance.

This is a Crystal Forum and not a Business Objects forum. It is labled Business Objects because Crystal Reports is owned by them.

There is a Business Objects Solutions forum, if you use the find a forum it will show it to you:

It should work fine, at least with ODBC.

As for migrating the database, that should be fine as well, just detach and copy the database elsewhere first just in case.

As Ro rightly points out, both of those questions should be placed in their appropriate forums for the best results.
