Crystal Reports 2008 custom report compatibility.

Posted By FormerMember

Hello,

I was recently hired to handle IT for a small company that uses Crystal reports 2008 in conjunction with sage 50. The Crystal Reports application was packaged with an older version of Sage and they have continued using it for some time. The problem is Crystal does not seem to be able to work properly in the updated windows environment so it will need to be replaced or updated to a supported version. I am not familiar with these applications so I am hoping someone can tell me if Sage has a report designer and viewer that are compatible with reports built in Crystal Reports 2008 or will we need to use a newer version of Crystal. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello, the reports 2008 package will run against the newer versions of Sage 50. The OLE DB connections will allow for reporting via external tools. If you have a set of reports that are currently working, it may be easier to allow the users to run the CR engine to process these reports.

    If need be, there are scheduling programs that allow for CR to run on a schedule.
