    Problem with Crystal report

    I have an issue here, I was given a project which report is written using earlier version of Crystal report (Seagate I think). But im currently have Crystal Report version 11. When I edit the report using the new version of Crystal report and saved. The application cannot open the report. Does different version affect this? Please advice..... Thank you!

    Re: Problem with Crystal report

    I don't know if this is the exact cause of your issue, but I personally have had nothing but problems when working with reports from older versions of crystal reports. I have found that sometimes it is just less of a headache to just recreate the report in the newer version then try to deal with importing the old version.

    Hope this helps

    What I facing is that I open the report and edit then save. Then when I want to view the report from the application, nothing happens when I click. No error msg nothing.

    Re: Problem with Crystal report

    Do I have to recompile my vb application whenever I add new fields or text to the crystal report?
