Hi All
Currently working on CR8 professional, and are in the process of testing CR9 Advanced, as we are looking to upgrade all our reports. Although most reports upgrade fine (with minor alterations), some however loose substantial sections of the report.
E.g. one specific report loose the running total formulas, and that have a knock-on effect on the other formulas that depend on this running total.
As it is quite a complex report, I would prefer not to recreate it from scratch in CR9. Has anyone encountered this, and does anyone have any possible solutions?
Thanks,
EO
 
Check any IF THEN ELSE formulas in your reports. Crystal 9's is more strict in testing for correct and matching data type logic in such formulas...
