Latest version, CR 2011: http://www.dustin.se/crystal-reports-2011-win-lic-3-9-users/product/5010602194
Need to edit files created in this version CR XI (2005, no longer for sale): http://www.dustin.se/crystal-reports-xi-professional-win-eng-cd/product/5010078615
Does anybody know if there's an "Save as CR XI-report" option in the latest version?
The file format must remain in CR XI-format when edit is done.
Thanks /Roland
回答1:
In CR2008 there is no option to save as previous .rpt versions so I would assume the same goes for 2011, although I have never used it. In this thread, SAP seems to confirm that "there will never be" a save-as option for previous versions' filetypes.
From their site:
For forward compatibility, RPT files authored in SAP Crystal Reports 2011 can be opened with the following older versions of Crystal Reports: • SAP Crystal Reports 2008 • Crystal Reports XI This includes the COM- and .NET-based runtime engines shipped with these products. New features in SAP Crystal Reports 2011 will be ignored by the older versions of the runtime engines.
That sounds like a good way of getting into trouble. My advice is instead try to get your hands on a copy of CRXI instead of putting yourself through the potential headaches of dealing with versioning bugs.
