Hi
What is the difference between parameters between Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports 2008? I have CR XI and I want to find out about CR 2008. Where do I find documentation about this?
Any reply much appreciated.

 
We have an application (I think is Visual Studio, I can’t find out anyway) that recently updated from XI to 2008. We develop reports with XI, and we just attached them to the application. Some reports didn’t work anymore. I got the reply: “2008 does not support reports requiring parameters to be printed or exported directly. The report has to be previewed so the parameter can be entered” and I was just thinking: is it a CR issue or an application issue, because seems absurd that a newer version does less that an older version...
 
If the application can be updated, you should be able to set the parameters programmatically instead of depending on the default parameter screen for them - that seems to be what the issue is here. I don't know why they would have changed Crystal this way, but it sounds like they did. :(

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.
