Report file version too old

[Former Member]

Hi, I hope I am in the right forum. I downloaded crystal report viewer 2008, but need to view a report that was created using an earlier version. The error message I get is as follows, " Report File version too old. This report was saved from a version of crystal report older than version 9 and cannot be viewed. To fix the problem please open and resave the report from a version of the crystal report designer application at least as recent as version 9".

How do I do this. I cant seem to get the older versions on the net anymore. Please help

The error message says "at least as recent as version 9".So, you can try with any version after 9.Following is the link to download a free trial version:

You may try with Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,

Have you try to found a previous version of crystal viewer. I will check if I have a previous version, older than 9.
