It is incredible that the solution of my 1 month problem is right there, just some clicks away! Thank you very much Guy! I do agree with Johnny. "full" version of CR 2008 (version 12). This is very useful information.Ĭannot thank you enough! Just made my day! We've been trying to figure this out for 2 months! Thank you very much for posting this, saved me a lot of time! I've been trying to deploy a simple Crystal project for weeks with no success until I read this blog. This is after 3 years experience with the product.
To anyone not already using but considering Crystal.Staying far far away from them is the best advice I can offer as a Programmer and Supporter of an application that unfortunately uses Crystal. Crystal lost 10% of their market to SSRS last year, and will hopefully continue their decline to reap some consequences from their deplorable business practices. (Not cheap either.)Ĭrystal seems content to demand expensive Enterprise licensing to get anywhere near the level of basic functionality they used to provide right out of the box with their VB6 Winforms product.It is a rare occurrence when a vendor, particularly a software vendor, pulls functionality they used to provide in the strategy of trying to extort more money out of their customer base.Īs SQL Server Reporting Services is becoming a viable alternative, Business Objects (now Seimens) is providing ample incentive for suffering IT staffers to switch as SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
Their site's purpose would seem to be to induce frustration until a company is forced to pay them for Customer Support incidences. It is virtually impossible to find any needed files on their website. It is unfortunate that Crystal is so abysmal in providing accessible support for their product.
