Sage 100

Has anyone dealt with Sage Alerts & Workflows and Sage 100 version 2018 on the same server with Crystal Reports version 2016? Have a client upgrading sage 100 to v2018 and they have numerous crystal reports scheduled by Sage Alerts & Workflow and knowing Crystal Reports 2016 can break a lot of older stuff, we're looking for gotchas.

Interesting question I can get a new key for our server to test this out, if you would like. I know our Microsoft SL consultants utilize a pretty painless fix for the compatibility error though https://www.boyerassoc.com/dynamics-sl-sage-fixed-assets/

That appears to be related to a specific custom user function library, not the actual runtime components. For example, the following code fails with Crystal Reports v2016. ``` Set crxApplication = CreateObject(""CrystalRuntime.Application"") Msgbox IsObject(crxApplication) Set crxApplication = Nothing ```

tbh You'll know more about that than I, this came about when the new version of fixed assets was killining the Dynamics SL's crystal and the solution they have been giving. I'll shoot over to Vinyardsoft the question and for our unlocking keys.

Thanks, i do have a ticket open with them but they are insisting on having the clients info when all i want to know is what to expect if SA is installed on the same server as CR v2016. I suspect that it will have to be on separate servers but we'll see.

ya no problem worst case i'll have my ksync unlocked again for demos anyways. Thats how our server is configured.

This is the response from vineyardsoft ``` *** Solution/Response *** : Thank you for the information. We do see occasional issue with Crystal Reprot runtimes being overwritten when newer Versions are installed on the System. However in recent releases it has been less of an issue than in the past. The easiest way around this is to simply uninstall/reinstall KnowledgeSync if you run into an glaring issues. You won't lose any data and it will correct the runtimes. We are currently using a Crystal Merge Module to lay down Crystal Reports Version 11 R5 DLLs during installation. We have Version 10 due for release in Q1 2019. This will ameliorate the issue of conflicting runtimes. ```

Just finished a test migration to a box with Crystal v2016 (and Sage100 v2018) on it. Updated the reports using Crystal v2016 and they sent out fine with KSync. Surprising, but good!

Thanks for letting us know @MichaelNottoli .
