<div id="ygrps-yiv-1276193843">Hello All<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;ve just upgraded to Crystal Reports version 8 and have successfully modified reports created in V7.<br/>
<br/>
However, I am trying to create a new report, whenever I insert any date field and try a preview I get:<br/>
<br/>
ODBC error[MERANT][ODBC PROGRESS driver] datetime field overflow.  Error in column (n)<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;m running Vantage 4.00.812 - Progress 9.0B and have applied Merant service patch 1 to Merant 3.5 ODBC driver on an NT4 SP5 workstation.<br/>
<br/>
Any suggestions?<br/>
<br/>
