Solved: Which CR version to use?

Former Member · ‎10-16-2014

Hi,

in my company we are planning to make a report in CR to be exported in XLXS using VB.Net.

We have a developer PC with Vs2010. We wrote a very simple program that export a RPT in this way:

Dim cryRpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument

cryRpt.Load(rptFileName)

...

we set export options and other things

...

cryRpt.Export()

There are 2 things that are mandatory:

1)Use VB.Net to export an rpt file unattended

2)Export to Excel 2007 complete (NOT data only)

All said, that's the question.

Which kind of Crystal Report should we install in Developer Workstation and in production environment?

We tried with CRForVS2010 but it cannot export to Excel 2007, so it's not an option.

Thanks

Hi Andrea,

One thing to note, there is only one version of CR which is compatible to work with VS 2010 and that is CR for VS (13.0). there is no other option.

And it does export a report to xlsx but ExcelWorkbook (XLSX) is data only. See below KBAs.
