Having go chrystal 9,2 working, the powers that be have decreed we are to
release using Chrystal XI (Delphi2005 Architect). Problem is that the visual
linker does not list the fields.

Have applied the delphi service pack, the chrystal service pack explicitly
informs you not to apply to an OEM version, so any clues as to how/why?

Frankly, we don't have Crystal 11 so I'm not sure what the issue is.  I'll
have to see about getting upgrading our copy before I can comment further.

I actually got it to work (eventually)... after adding the tables, I then
needed to "verify" each table, at this point the fields became available and
it was possible to renter the table link wizard and establish the links.
What was (still) absent was index identifier (for auto links).. no biggie to
be honest.

In terms of aquiring CR XI, it is in Delphi2005 Architect already which is
where I have the problem.. I have sourced a CR XI Developer edition so we'll
see if it is in the "standard" product as well.


btw, Business Objects suggest migrating to CRXI r2 (its free for CR XI
users).

Ahh, so I already have it.  Cool, that saves a couple of bucks.

Did they indicate that it would definitely fix the problem ?  Or was it a
"try this" type of proposal ?

It was more of a "not willing to discuss this further until you do" kind of
conversation. I have yet to receive/find my free download link .
