     Posted: 26 Feb 2008 at 5:33am

Hi There - as a 'newbie' to Crystal Reports,I'm inheriting a number of crystal reports developments, some in version 8, some in version 9.

I'm looking for training courses - almost all version 10 or XI.

Therefore first thing will be to weigh up best method of upgrading the reports to a newer version.
 
Are reports in version 8 AND version 9 easily upgradeable to both version 10 and XI, and if so which version would be easier /preferable to upgrade  to? (and therefore train in?)
 
Any guidance much appreciated!
 
Thanks
Ruth

The reports are easily upgradeable to either version.  I've run into a couple of "gotchas" moving from 8.5 to XI, but they were due to a combination of the native Oracle driver and the SQL being modified in Crystal which you're not allowed to do in XI. 

Also, since they're now coming out with Crystal 2008, I would move to at least XI as it will be supported longer than 10 will.
