WHich edition of CR XI do you have?

As far as I know it is not possible to use 2 versions of Crystal in a single application.

You can use the CR XI viewer to view CR8.5 files.

In my CR XI R2 I use
CR Viewer - component
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\ActiveXControls\crviewer.dll
Run time library - reference
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bicracdrt.dll

You only need 1` and 3. 2 is actually a superset of 3 and requires extra licensing for users in some cases.

You use the same from CR XI.

Which edition of CR XI?
You need the DEVELOPER

Which release
Click HELP --> ABOUT CRYSTAL

i want to use CR XI in one application where i will not be using CR 8.5. but my system has got both CR 8.5 and CR XI. I can generate .rpt file in CR XI and working ok. but same .rpt i want to incorporate in my vb6 application as .dsr.

Mike McCracken

I believe that is done in VB6 by adding the report to the project.
