? on 5.0 conversion

[Guest ypartridge]

In a few months we will be upgrading to the 5.0 version using Oracle.

Once question we asked that came up today (Have not asked our rep yet) is this:

We have customized a lot of reports, benefit statements, summary, etc.

Does anyone know if these reports will still be usable, and if not, will there be some type of converstion available so we don't have to re-do all of them.

Any input is appreciated.

you will probably have to do some minor tweaking.

I beta tested 5.0 and tried running a few customized reports. they worked, though, for instance, I have one with a graph, and I need to go in an edit the scaling used on the graph.

I've seen oracle print ages 65.00 and things like that.

other than that, my understanding is that things convert fairly well - thank heavens!

The upgrade to Crystal Reports 6.0 will likely cause more reporting conversion headaches than the database upgrade (unless, of course, you're already using Crystal 6.0).
