Author Converting from Crystal 7 to Crystal 10

Hello,

I was just wondering of anyone knows of a quick way to upgade from crystal 7
to 10? We have a vb 6 app which uses the crystal 7 ocx to load up reports.
Things is, we've got over 700 reports which we need to convert.

Do we have to load each report in crystal 10 and re-save it?

Thanks,
Mike

There is no such tool. You can search the net for third party tools that
might be available.

I found out the CE has a conversion utility in it that does this for you.
Even if you don't have CE, some versions of CR have a trial version CD in
the box. You can install the trial version and then run the Report Migration
Tool just for the purpose of converting reports. Then uninstall CE when you
are done.
