Experiment:
- Ran Job Traveler in Print Preview using Vantage 5.20
- Could not get to run on Server (missing CRPE32.DLL message) -
(probably a mapped drive issue in client install on server)
- Loaded Patch 210 (per support) - Note: many crystal issues resolved in
210
- Loaded 5.20 Client on my PC (kept 4.0 client) and previews native 5.20
job traveler just fine
- In Crystal 8.0 set location on our custom traveler to VntgWk52 (for
dbfs) and verified DB
- Previewed in 8.0 developer screen - looks OK
- Renamed Traveler.rpt in epic52\userform to traveler-520.rpt (to save it)
- Copied newly verified custom version into epic52\userform as
Traveler.rpt
- Ran in Vantage 5.20 - It looks identical to report run in Vantage 4.00
Preliminary Conclusion:
- Customized CR 8.0 report can run using CR 8.5 dll's in Vantage 5.20
- Caveat 1 - if it doesn't work don't complain to Epicor support; you're
on your own
- Caveat 2 - no guarantees that every CR 8.0 will work - test,test,test
- Caveat 3 - Yet to try a distributed report (but they carry their own
dll's so should work)
And a warning - this is all an act of desperation to preserve distributed
reports and get to 5.20 by Oct. 5. If I had the time I would go totally CR
8.5 and use web distribution and will definitely do so as soon as possible.
Trying CR 8.0 with Vantage 5.20 may be asking for trouble but it looks like
either the "rock" or the "hard place" for me at the moment.
