Crystal Reports "Invalid Handle"

It's a known problem with CR 8.5 and XP SP2.
You have to set Crystal reports to run in compatibilty mode for Windows
2000.
Thought I'd let you know.......

Subject: Crystal Reports "Invalid Handle"


Getting a problem when I insert a subreport within the standard Crystal Aged
Receivables report (AGDRCV.rpt).
I create the subreport and link via ODBC to the Customer record to retrieve
the Credit Limit. This works fine and when I refresh the form within Crystal
I get the data returned OK.

So far so good, but when I try to save the amended form I get a Crystal
error "Invalid Handle" which stops me saving and refuses to go away even if
I delete the subreport.

Any bright ideas?

Regards,
Richard
