Crpe32.dll(version: 6.0.1.151) issue with Crystal Reports 2008

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was using Crystal Reports 2006 for desigining the reports .

My client application( developed in c++) is using the Crpe32.dll(version 6.0.1.151)

,CRPAIG32.DLL(ver: 5.0), CRWRAP32.DLL(ver:5.0)

Now, I changed to Crystal Reports 2008 for designing my reports. I want my client application

should be able to interpret the new .rpt files as well as the old .rpt files.

with the old crpe32.dll(ver: 6.0.1.151) I'm getting the error in Print Engine.

I guess the problem with the crpe32.dll .

where can find the appropriate crpe32.dll and the required other dll for my client application so that it

can understand the crystal Reports 2006 file and the crystal reports 2008 files

Thanks,

Sudhakar

I'm assuming you're using Crystal Reports 6, and not Crystal Reports 2006 (there's no such version).

The CRPE API was deprecated long ago - long before the year 2006.

If you want to programmatically interact with Crystal Reports 2008, then the option are the Crystal Reports .NET SDK or Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0.

Just a few more details. The Print Engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports (this was in 2003). Subsequent versions of Crystal reports did not ship any header files and therefore you will not be able to upgrade your application. As Ted recommended, porting your app to .NET or Java is your only option at this time.
