Upgrading to 8.0 and Report Style

I am a Vista user, and if you did the reports in Crystal, it is just
a matter of updating for changes in any table and field names. I
will probably purchase the software that makes this easier and offer
to migrate others' reports for them if there is enough interest among
vista and vantage users, to pay for my time & software to do that at
home in the evenings & on weekends. Our version 8 is being installed
this Friday, with intention to customize & migtrate by January.
Probably agressive, but would like to hear from others' their general
estimation for customizing and converting existing forms in version 8.

I knew when we got 6.1 last July not to do any in Report Builder, and
did all changes in Crystal. Some of the modified forms may need
redone, but won't know until I test them, and even then, the modified
will need phone, fax, email fields that they have available now added
to them.

I have changed all the reports in Vantage 6.10 to suit our needs. IE
the traveler, sales order, PO, RMA form etc.



Will I have to do that all over again if I upgrade to 8?



It took me countless hours to get them all right.

This is my understanding, which stuck firmly in my brain like an arrow when I first heard it. I have very extensive changes to Job Traveler (those at Perspectives can see what I mean at the Crystal Reports Roundtable session on Tuesday at 4:30). Most of the rest of the CR forms are simple logo additions and some conditional fields but the Traveler...ouch! My guess is that it is due to the switch to XML from DBF and extensive field name changes.
