How to make VB 6.0 work with Crystal Reports XI

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Our development environment is VB 6.0 and Crystal Reports 8.5

I Installed Crystal Reports XI on the same machine (Windows 2003 SP2) - both works fine

Now the reports which saved as XI no longer be open with the application

What should I do to make the application view the XI reports?

Thanks,

Thank you for posting your solution

There are two possible problems here. Seeing as you have 8.5 and XI on the same machine, there is a very good chance your VB application is loading the 8.5 engine which will not open the XI reports.

The other possibility would be on how VB is calling the reports. If you are using the OCX or API calls then that older print engine will also not work with XI reports. You should be using the RDC.

Good luck,
