I have a legacy app that can display crystal reports to the user, using the crystal component current at the time it was developed. Sadly, the version at that time was 8.5.
If I try to open an XI report in the old app, then I get an exception about not being able to open the report.
I’d like to show a Crystal XI report in that application. Is it possible to downgrade a crystal report to an older version?
It would be nice if I could open it in Crystal XI and do File->Save As->”Crystal 8″ but of course it is never that easy…
You can display 8.5 reports in the XI viewer. But, not the other way. Maybe upgrade the legacy app to XI?
