I have developed an application in Delphi 5 that incorporates a 'CRViewer' working against a SQL server 7.0 database. I have been successful in installing the applications on machines without having to have Crystal Reports installed - by including the required DLL's (i.e. p2sodbc.dll, p2ssql.dll) and registering 'CRViewer.dll' and 'Craxdrt.dll'. However when I follow this same procedure on a PC that has an old installed copy of Crystal Reports (version 5 in this case) the reports are displayed in the 'CRViewer' but the fonts and the positioning of the report items are wrong - the report looks a mess. Having tried to open the report in the installed copy of CR5 we get messages indicating that there is not enough memory for opening the report. Our only solution so far has been to uninstall version 5 and install version 8 (in which the reports were created).
Does anyone know if I can maintain the old version (5) of the Crystal Reports install and allow my application (with CR8 reports) to operate successfully ?
Thanks in advance.
