Converting DSR reports to crystal reports.

[Larry Bryan]

Does anyone know how to convert a dsr reports created in VB 6 to crystal reports in VB net.

The upgrade wizard does not do this conversion.

Welcome to the forums.

DSR Report? What is that?

[wes4dbt]

"DSR" is the file extention on a VB6 DataReport, "report1.dsr"

The DSR extension is for any "Designer" that can be used in Visual Basic. Typically they are Crystal Reports, Data Report and Data Environment. Data Dynamics Active Reports has a VB Designer.

Depending on your version(s), you could export the DSR to a Crystal RPT file and then run the upgrade wizard on that file or are you looking for an automated solution.

bruce,

Thanks for clarifing my response. Could you please explain more about how to export a DataReport to a Crystal Report. Is there an export option in VB6 or in CR. I'd be very interested in finding out how this process works.

Thanks

You cannot convert a DataReport to a Crystal Report. I should have written

"you could export the Crystal DSR to a Crystal RPT"

The Crystal Designer has a menu/button to "Save to Crystal Reports File"
