Hi, Craig...
On the issue of CR9....I'm using CR.NET for a WinForms/C# application [reports are generated on the local machine using the runtime]. Are you aware of a web site that lists the differences/enhancements between CR9 and CR.NET?
If there are just a few, I'll probably just stick with CR.NET for awhile [at least to see what they do with CR.NET in VS.NET 2003], but if there are some major differences, I might try to upgrade to 9.
Thanks,
Kevin
