As far as I know CR XI reports can be read by CR9 and CR 10.<br />
<br />
There is no way to save the report in CR8 format. &nbsp;CR9 added support for unicode and changed the report format,. &nbsp;There is no ability to save in a previous format.<br />
<br />
What problems are they having.<br />

No problems so far, as the server platform is not up yet. &nbsp;We just need to be able to &quot;save as&quot; a previous version short of re-doing the reports and/or opening them from 9.0 and saving them from that version.

Hi,<br />
I'm running Crystal Reports Client XI and would like to save the reports to previous versions of the software. &nbsp;Is this possible? &nbsp;I need this because the reports will be read by an engine that supposedly only supports Crystal Versions 8 through 10.

Backward Compatibility - Saving Version XI reports to previous versions

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
