Hi there,
 
I am running Crystal Reports X1 Developer release 1 with the latest service pack on Windows 7.
 
Everthing seems fine when designing a report until I try to enter a formula i.e. when I go to Section Expert and click on the formula button to supress records, nothing seems to happen (except possibly a brief indication of a window opening and then dissapearing).
 
The (missing?) formula window has contol though, as I cannot click enywhere else until I hit the escape button, when control appears to be returned to the Section Expert window.
 
Anyone any ideas?  Would upgrading to X1 R2 be of any use? 
 
Thanks
Mike

Update - just installed R2 and applied SP6 and.. yes the same thing is happening...
 
Come on you CR gurus - surely someone is using Windows 7 out there?

I have heard that XI will not run on Windows 7.  We've moved to CR2008...but we are moving away from CR all together.

Hi guys - just installed CR2008 and guess what...it works!  Unfortunately that means a forced upgrade.. so I'm also interested in what you are moving to lockwelle!
 
PS - does anyone know where to find the new crpe32.dll?
 
Cheers
 
Mike

we are moving to 3rd party control called XtraReports by DevExpress.  Its advantage...licensing, and it has a way for the user to modify a report at run time, but it has some drawbacks. 
 
Personally, I like CR better, as it is more powerful and much more user friendly, but... it was management decision.  Luckily, all reporting systems are pretty much the same.
