I have a bunch of reports in SI4 (Crystal) that I'd like to import into SI5. How do I go about doing this? I really don't want to have to redo all those reports into Word format. Does SI5 allow Crystal reporting?

I noticed in the User's Guide that there's supposedly a Legacy Reporting System, but I can't seem to find it in SI5 (And I have SI4 installed on the machine too). I assume it's in the Reporting Center area, but I can't find it.

The legacy (SI4) reporting system is only available from within open projects (Text, Visio, or AutoCAD). To access:

1. Open the project
2. Go to D-Tools > Reports
3. Go to File > Legacy Reporting System

If you have SI4 installed and it's not there, contact tech support at http://www.d-tools.com/support/submit-an-issue.html and they'll help you out.

Support for Crystal Reports is being phased out in favor of Active Reports. Crystal Reports can only be run via the SI4 Legacy Reporting System mentioned in a post below.

You could keep SI4 around to create and modify your Crystal Reports. However, going forward (SI6 and beyond), only Active Reports will be supported, so new reports should be designed in the SI5 Report Designer.
