You are right, I just completed uninstalling CR and cleaning the registry and reinstalling CR. All is well EXCEPT there does not seem to be away to add CR-xi to Intellisense, any idea? I did read your white page but it was related to 8.5 and from 2003, and there isn't a craxdrt.dll installed.

>>Does anyone know why windows continually configures Crystal XI R2 when I open VS or the intel Mgr in VFP8 or Excel 2007 or anyother MS app? It takes 2 or 3 minutes to go thru the configuration process that doesn't appear to change anything, it is disrupting productivity.
