<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Robo<br>
<br>
Thanks, no its not what I wanted to hear! Surprised the delphi
.net wrapper does not work for this. <br>
<br>
Anyway I have another question you might be able to answer.
Crystal 2013 lists Windows support as 7.1 and above. This will be
for the designer, any idea of whether the runtime still works on
XP? We email SAP but they couldn't answer the question and
pointed us back to the web site (which doesn't say). They don't
seem overly keen to sell us their product!<br>
<br>
We have no problem with 7+ for report work but our clients often
have XP machines (or Vista) floating around and we can't drop
support for them.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Rob<br>

<div>Might not be what you want to hear, similar situation as
you several years ago, we ended up writing a small .NET app
to run the reports (using Delphi Prism, which is also now
dead :rolleyes:).<br>
<br>
</div>
We had hundreds of Crystal reports as well, we tested each one
and upgraded them to latest version, and they're still being
used now.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
We are long time Crystal users and have hundreds of reports
in Crystal<br>
8.5 format. This is a very old version of Crystal which we
are looking<br>
at updating. Unfortunately Crystal ditched the ActiveX /
Com runtime<br>
components, which we currently use, in version 11.5 (Crystal
XI R2).<br>
The only supported runtime is now .net. My understanding is
that we<br>
should be able to import the .net libraries and access
Crystal using it<br>
from Delphi XE2. However I have read that this is not
easily possible.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any experience with running versions of
Crystal newer<br>
than XI R2 with Delphi (XE2)?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Rob<br>
