Can Crystal 11 execute Crystal 8.5 Reports? &nbsp;The 8.5 reports were developed with custom functions. &nbsp;I do not have the functions and can't get 8.5 to install in the Delphi 7 VCL. &nbsp; I do have CR XI Developer but woud like some confirmation that XI can execute the 8.5 rpt files. &nbsp; <br />

Thanks.<br />

Can CR XI VCL correctly execute CR 8.5 Reports?

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.
