Recompiling CR6 with CR7

I have old reports compiled with CR6. The VB.exe passes parameters using .ParameterFields(0), .ParameterFields(1)

These parameters are passed by CRPE to SQL Stored Procedures and the report works.

I now need to edit the report, add some more fields that kind of thing ... but with CR7.

And now the parameters are not recognised. Any ideas?
 
If you modify the report with V7, then it can't be run by an application using the V6 engine. You will need to recompile the app after replacing all of the CR components/references with the V7 versions. Ken Hamady, On-site/Phone Crystal Reports Training/Consulting

What you say seems reasonable. However, everything else about the report still works - just the parameters(0,1).

I can see that I will have to recompile the whole VB source
with VB6 and CR7 references/components. Thanks.
