Topic: Migrating older CR in VB to CR XI Posted: 17 Feb 2012 at 6:04am
I have a Crystal report (not sure of exact version 8? 8.5?) that is called from VB (I think 6).
I don't have VB6 or the older CR version CD's or installation. All I have is CR XI.
I need to make some minor changes to 3 reports.
My problem is since this is an older 'compiled' version w/ the .exe that is ran from the ERP systems menu - how do I migrate/modify without VB6 and CR 8/8.5 software?
In other words, is there a path to get from CR8/8.5 in VB6 to CR XI?
If yes, what are those steps?

Sounds like you need the rpt file but it's embedded inside the compiled exe. One solution is to export to a Crystal report format. That gives you an rpt with saved data. Open that file in Crystal XI.
view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
