Runtime viewer export goes straight to Save report dialog

Been a looooong time since I've posted here!

I am a user & vendor of a ERP/financial application.
The developers use Crystal runtimes as the reporting engine, so any hardcopy output is done via Crystal. Just about all reports display as print preview first, inside a CR Viewer window.
A new version with new CR runtimes has just been released. When a user clicks the Export Report button on the print preview toolbar, the Save File as type dialog pops up (window title says Export Report).

Older versions of the ERP/financial displayed a Export dialog which gave an option of Format and Destination.

Q1. Has the default export functionality changed such that the old Format & destination dialog is no longer available?

Q2. Is it possible to get that dialog back?

Fortunately, I have a relationship established with the developers such that I am able to provide suggestions, so if they've implemented certain VB .Net coding which can be changed to display the Format & Destination, then I can pass it on to them.

Cheers

The runtime allows the "developers" to do whatever you need in that respect. So simply request the behavior you desire.

view, export, burst, email, and schedule Crystal Reports.
