RDP Supports Crystal Reports Version 10 with RDPWin

Added 2/15/2004 - Article ID#: KC00009

RDP has released RDPWin, ,our new Windows based system which supports Crystal Report Standard Edition Version 10.  Compatibility with older versions of Crystal is as follows:

• When RDPWin is installed there is a new folder created on your data server, \RDP\Reports10.  All standard RDP Crystal reports are installed into this folder.  These reports are in Crystal Version 10 format, and can only be modified with Crystal Version 10.

• After installation of RDPWin, your system will still have a folder \RDP\Reports, with older versions of Crystal reports that maybe in a variety of Crystal Formats (Version 8.5, Version 7, etc.).  If you have any custom reports in the older \Reports folder they must be saved in Version 10 format and moved to the \RDP\Reports10 folder with the procedure below.

Converting older Crystal Reports to Version 10 Format for use with RDPWin 

To create or modify reports for RDPWin in Crystal V10 format, customers must purchase a copy of Crystal Reports Version 10 Standard Edition.  It can be purchased directly from www.provantage.com.  This version is available for under $200.

Crystal Reports 10 Standard Edition By Business Objects (formerly Crystal Decisions) Only $158.39

Price as of 9/18/2004

To convert an older Crystal Report to Crystal Version 10 Format, follow the steps below:

1. Install Crystal Reports 10 Standard Edition on your workstation
2. Start Crystal Designer Version 10 and open the older report from the \RDP\Reports folder
3. Select "File, Save as".  Navigate to the subfolder in \RDP\Reports10\subfoldername where you wish to place the new report and click the "save" button.  The report will be converted to Crystal Version 10 format automatically during the save process.

Note:  When saving the report any sub-folder name under \RDP\Reports10 can be used.  RDPWin will display all sub-folders under \RDP\Reports10.  RDPWin allows for security to be placed on each sub-folder, and each report to control which users are allowed to run reports.  In RDPWin, select "Reporter" and then "Security" from the drop down.
