VB6 and CrystalReport 9

[rubenintx]

[Currently]
vb6 and CR9 are working w/o a problem and I am able to generate a report.

[Required Update]
I need to add a column to the existing report. When saving the new report, I get a msg indicating:
* This report was saved in a previous version of CR using an older report file folder.
* Saving the report now will cause the report to be upgraded to a new file format and my not be compatible with previous version of CR.

I saved the changes (therefore upgraded). Now, when running the code and trying to generate the report, I get an error msg:
* Run-Time Error 20525 / Unable to load report.

Any suggestions in how to fix this....? I googled and found similar cases, tried fixing it and still, cannot get it to work...

PLEASE HELP . . . . .

I think that Your reports were created with an older version than CR 9

If You have access to source code, please post the lines of code where You call a rpt file

This is the code:

Private Sub mnuProgressReport_Click()

Set oReport = CreateObject("Crystal.CrystalReport")
With oReport
.DataFiles(0) = MsSQLDB.Name
.ReportFileName = ReportsDir & "rptProgress.rpt"
.Destination = crptToWindow
.Action = 1
End With

End Sub

As I already posted, Your .rpt files where created with a Crystal Reports version 8.5 or older and You are calling these .rpt using the Crystl32.OCX control embedded in your forms.
This technology (Crystl32.OCX) is supported by Crystal Reports until version 8.5 and from version 9 to 11 You could use RDC and Crystal Reports viewer.ocx to process Your .rpt files

Solution to Your problem :
1.- Get a Crystal Reports version 8.5 to edit Your .rpt files
or
2.- Keep Crystal Reports version 9, upgrade Your .rpt files and modify every single procedure where You call a .rpt file

Thank so much for taking the time. Looking for the older version did help.

Thanks again... !!!
