Converting old Reports to Crystal 10

[Herr Burnier]

Hi you all,


When I try to open some reports (that were created using Crystal 5) in Crystal 10 I get the following warning as a pop-up window:

THE DATABASE FILE "XXX" HAS CHANGED. PROCEEDING TO FIX UP THE REPORT

After that, the report brings wrong data (different from the data that was brought by the original report).

Is this error common ? Should I have to re-write the queries ?

Thanks
Herr Burnier

Hy,

Your database design has maybe changed ?
What's happen if you "Verify database" on cr10 ?
Try to verify to database location.

I get the same message even when I run "Verify Database". Crystal 10 tells me that tables have changed and it will fix them up.

The message even says that it cannot find a certain table and asks me if they should remove it from the report....

I have confirmed the location of the database and these tables.

The reports do work OK though if I do not make any suggested changes to the tables.

Strange.

I found the answer.

In version 10 I had to Set database Location and update the tables, even though the names and locations were exactly the same as in my 8.5 reports...

Now I can verify the database with no errors or problems!
