If your report has no charts in it or has charts that never used CRChart macros then there will be no difference: the reports will look identical.If your report has charts in it that only use CRChart commands that are marked as compatible with original then your reports will still look the same! Certain CRChart features can be serialized into your .rpt file and viewed successfully even when opened by a version of Crystal Reports that does not have our product installed. If your report has charts in it that use CRChart commands that are marked as NOT compatible with original then the charts in your reports will look different. The report will not cause a crash, but it will likely draw differently and treat the CRChart macro commands like regular chart titles.
