Thanks for all the responses. I downloaded the Crystal patches and it
worked perfectly.

Thanks again,

Kelly

Greetings,

We are in the process of testing 6.0 (currently running 5.0). We are
scheduled to go live one week from today (Aug 25).

I loaded Crystal 8.5 to run with 6.0. We use a modified version of the
Vantage traveler. When I try to run the modified report with the new
vantage database - the first several pages work fine but the last few pages
have no detail. The header shows, but nothing below it. Any suggestions on
where I should start?

We had this problem when going to v6.0. Epicor can supply you with some
files you need to patch Crystal with to make it work. It's probably worth
while downloading the latest patches from Crystal Decisions anyway. I think
this particular problem only effects PCs with crystal installed on them.
The other users shouldn't have a problem.

The two patches you require are CR85main0902_EN.exe and
scr8_distr_expert.exe







Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the
fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the
hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it
is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. Obviously,
then, one's character and frame of mind determine how readily he brings
about change and how he reacts to change that is imposed on him.

Kelly,

I just made the same jump this past weekend.
Some of the things I have found that were a pain...
1. All custom RB reports need to be looking at the new database (I copied
mine to a new location and modified them early)
2. There are several new Crystal reports, some work, some don't.
3. get to patch 511. It fixes the quote form. (I did not, and now will
have to tonight).
4. Any custom reports set up in the custom reports screen will need their
location updated.
5. Patch the 6.0 before you convert your data. Saves a step and has other
benefits that can save data that they just discovered they left out of the
original release (any custom menu items for instance).
6. Our server is the same, and the workstations did not change, but
performance is very slow. Even adding 512meg ram to the server to give it a
gig did not help much. I will be testing further to see what is to blame
most. Server is only 800 mhz, and the clients are typically 233mhz to
350mhz with NT or 2000. Can't wait to have a budget again. :)
7. If you have ABOM, you will need to set the permissions on the workbench.

Good Luck.
Practice the upgrade plenty,

Aaron Hoyt
