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>
