We have Crystal Reports 10.0 running in Production. Apparently we dont have Crystal 10 Software to work on the changes for the reports. We do have the license for Crystal Reports XI. The Application is developed in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and using Crystal reports 10.0.<br />
<br />
Questions<br />
--------------<br />
<br />
If we have to do minor changes in crystal 10.0 Reports (.RPTs) like adding some extra fields for the display (simple stuff) using Crystal XI &nbsp;(licensed) / Crystal 2008 (trial) software, Can we still deploy the reports in Production which is runnig Crystal 10.0 ?<br />
<br />
Whats the migration path for Crystal Reports 10.0 to Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports 2008 ?<br />
<br />
Are there Runtime available to install in Production as in case of Crystal Reports 10.0 ? Any deployment tips would be useful.<br />

Crystal Reports 10.0 migration to Crystal XI / Crystal 2008

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.

DB Reporting Tools

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.

Crystal Reports

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
