HI,

Hope you are talking about CRXi product. If you want to stick to VS2005 then update CRXi to CRXIR2(free).

You need to upgrade the reports too, so just open the reports in CRXIR2 and update the fields of report from the designer and you are ready to do. Don't forget to use 11.5 crystal references and Viewer.

Hope that helps.

As AG mentioned, you must upgrade to CR XI r2. CR XI r2 can be downloaded from here:

http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp

Uninstall your current version of Crystal Reports XI release 1. Use the r1 keycode to install CR XI r2

The see the following on how to start:

Hi Jignesh,

You can grant points from the left side of the thread replys.

there you can see three radio buttons stating points.

Assign as you want.

Note: uninstall CR XI before installing CR XI R2 and install CR after installing Visual studio (To make Cr properly integrate with VS).

for assistance in installing procedure refer this [thread|;.

Hope that helps!!

Regards

Amit
