How to migrate best
Hi,
what's the best way to migrate my apps from 2.5.1 to 3.06?
1) Can I install both 2.5.1 and 3.0.6 without getting them causing problems?
2) If not - does this mean that I'd have to mifrate all reports within all apps using FR in order to be able to compile new versions of them after installing FR3? Okay - I could deactivate the different packages - but this would still mean that I'd have to convert a project completely, wouldn't it?
3) Are there any tools availiable in order to convert frf-files from version 2 into version 3?
Kind regards,
Mark

in FR25 you can save the Reports in fr3 - format.
I have installed both packages in my App : fr25 and fr3.
In my Print - procedure I do
fr25.LoadFromBlobField
fr25.SaveAsFr3
fr3.LoadFromSaveStream
fr3.StartDesigner
...
(look for the right procedure - names!)
So I can convert all the reports created in fr25.
Notice that you have to modidify the converted reports. Conversion fr25->fr3 will not work without some manual corrections!
