Crystal Reports - Date fields - 9.04 to 9.05

Yahoo Archive
1
What I have found annoying in Crystal 8 is that when you move a report to a different database source, by selecting the original datasource and a new datasource, it will not do it and gives an error. If you do the same thing in Crystal XII it works fine. There is probably a setting, but thus far I still have to revert to XII to do this because 8 will not.
If anyone knows a way around this, I would be interested in hearing it.

Just my observation...

In converting from 9.04 to 9.05, the reports changed from Crystal XI Release 2 to Crystal 2008. We did not convert our modified RPT files to the new version of Crystal and for the most part, that seems to be working. Now that we are live on 9.05, we are editing RPT files with Crystal 2008. When we set the database location to a new XML file, some of the date fields are not mapped and no matching fields appear. If I unclick "Match Type", all the fields appear including the one I need. I select it, click "Map" and move on. My guess is that either Epicor or Crystal have changed the date format somewhat. Is this process going to hurt me later?

As long as everything is working, I can't imagine any surprises down the
road.

We don't rebuild any of our reports unless the data definition has
substantially changed.
