	Hello, The company I am working at has a large number of reports that have been created using CR 8.5. Due to a planned upgrade of the ERP system, CR needs to be upgraded to CR 11. Will the reports that have been created seamlessly work with CR 11 or do I need to somehow convert them, and if so, how? Thanks!

	I haven't done this, but I would suspect that they should upgrade OK. We are upgrading from 11 to 2008, and when you save in 2008, it says that it's format only goes back to 9...so 11 should go back a tad further. Maybe someone else has more accruate info.

	Actually II reports will go back to 9 also, but you can got from 8.5 to 11. We have done this in a few cases with no issues other than dealing with connectiivity issues (old version of foxpro). I hope this helps.

	Thanks! I'll commence the upgrade and will let you know if I run into any trouble, although based on your answers I do not suspect so. Cheers!
