Probleming viewing string data in 8.5

[dbltt25]

I am trying to "convert" my reports from version 7.0 to version 8.5. However I am not able to see all data in the database (I was able to see all of it using version 7.0). So, I wrote a basic report to display these fields that have all string data types. Out of 1091 records, I can see only one. Are there any bugs with this version of crystal being able to display data? This report is the most basic that you can get, and I still can see the data that I know is present in the Database. I am connecting to a DBF database.

Any thoughts??
Thanks ahead of time!

I upgraded from 8 to 8.5 and found a bug linking dbf files, Goldmine v5 in my case. Crystal Tech Support had me switch back to the V8 dll for xbase. You could try using the dll from V7 and see if that works. That way you know the problem is in the dll.

I wrote an article on this in my most recent newsletter. You can read the article on my website:
