CR6 and CR8 playing well together
Actually we are running Access 95 and 2000 on the same
machine. All we had to do is change a font file and they
worked fine together. There just happened to be some
documentation on the Microsoft website that told us
exactly what to do. I can't even find an article on the
Crystal webside that even mentions 6 and 8 in the same
document. As I said, we don't really have the option of
upgrading the other program at this time. So we have to
find some other solution. Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks,
Carol
