    Is there a utiliity in Sage 100 under the file run program that will convert all the crystal reports to the latest version?  The one inside of company maintenace never seems to work when converting company data.

    In \MAS90\Home, open the mascrcw.exe file and follow the prompts.

    One thing to note about the check boxes in convert company data screen, the utilities for converting reports and updating custom office screen to current: Those utilities don't actually run unless you check the box to convert all companies. I guess that I'm still not 100% sure they work as expected even then.

    That checkbox has proven unreliable for me, and I always run MASCRCW manually.

    The whole process of Crystal Custom Reports is confusing. You create a current Crystal, tack on the CUSTOM to the end. Add it to the Sage menu. You are AGAIN prompted to update the report to a current version. It's probably a bug but a confusing one when the report being added is clearly at the current release because you just ran it and saved it against current data.

    Yes, there's probably some reason that only Sage would love for this confusing UI prompt.

    If you manually have this in the Summary Info (with the right version, of course), it will skip the update part
