I'm trying to move an old VB app developed to run crystal reports to the web.
Right now the VP app allows the user to select a report and then build a selection formula by picking a field, the comparison type (<, =, >), and entering a value. The VB then developes the string that needs to be passed to the report to run it.
This was developed in CR 5.0 16-bit. Time to upgrade!
We have CR 8.0 Developer Edition right now. I've set up a test web server and been playing with the ability to put parameters in the report that are then used as selection criteria. I'd like to be able to use a report where I have checked "Allow multiple Values" and chosen "Discrete and Range Vales". It works in Crystal 8.0, but not when I run it over the web.
Question 1: Does Crystal 8.5 work with range parameters and multiple values?
Question 2: If Crystal 8.5 does not solve my problem, is it worth the money to go to 8.5 instead of 8.0 and why?
Thanks for any input or suggestions that you have.
