What Does It Mean When We Get The Error Message “invalid Report Version” When Try To Open A Crystal Report?

Answer»

Crystal in its evolution has changed the REPORT file FORMAT several times. In most cases the file format is FORWARD-compatible. By this I mean a file CREATED in Crystal 6 can be opened in Crystal 6 or higher. When the file format changes were major the format is not BACKWARD compatible. By this I mean a file created in CR 9 cannot be opened in CR 8 or before. Crystal changed the report file format with CR 8 and CR 9. The CR 9 change was because of the introduction of Unicode SUPPORT. CR 8 has the ability to save a file in CR 7 format. Because of the support for Unicode CR 9, 10, and XI cannot save the file in PREVIOUS formats.

How Do We Connect To The Database?

Answer»

Answer :There are two ways of creating the report: – Use crystal report BUILT in query. Use the tool ‘ Crystal SQL Designer’ provided by crystal report. When you create report using crystal report built in query then it asks for the data SOURCE name that you have CREATED. When you run the report, then for the first time it will ask for the user id and password. After that it will store the same. When you create ‘.qry’ using ‘Crystal SQL’ Designer then at that time it will ask for the user id and password. When you run the report for the first time instead of asking for the user id and password it will ask for the ‘.qry’ file location. You can CHANGE the query location also. For that open the report, select ‘Set Location’ option in Database menu item, and set the location.
