     Posted: 22 May 2008 at 6:53am

I'm having problems viewing CR 2008 reports with the current CR Viewer and the CR Basic Visual Studio 2008.

I can view reports built off Oracle data, but reports built of XML/XSD data cause the viewer to raise an error.
 
Is there a viewer that works with all variants of CR 2008 reports?
 
Thanks.

An update and partial resolution...

VS 2008 comes with CR 10.5. If you install a newer version of CR onto the machine, Visual Studio will use that version of CR. And...

There is a service pack for CR 2008 (http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsupdate/CrystalReports2008.zip) that is needed if you want to read reports created with CR 2008 in VS 2008. The current download of CR 2008 includes the service pack; you only need the service pack if you installed prior to March.

Still unresolved: The current Viewer does not work with all CR 2008 reports.
