I have an application that grabs some data from a database formats the desired records and then outputs to a Crystal Report. I'm working in VB .Net 2008.
 
I made a minor change of the width of a field, and the rebuilt the project. When I uploaded and installed the release package to the customer's server, the change in the report was not there.
 
First question, are there any issues in getting VS to recognize small changes to the rpt file?
 
Second question, where the rpt contained in the installer? Is it in the MSI?
 
Third question, is there any way to check the installer package to make sure it has the latest rpt or compare the contents of one installer package to another to see if they contain different rpts?
 
Thanks for any help and direction on this one.
 
Bernie
