Suggestions for Upgrading from 8.0 to 9.0

[Everett_King_(Guest)]

I just purchased 9.0 but have not yet installed it. All of our current reports are written in R&R 8.0 (Xbase). A number of them are distributed to workstations and executed using R&R runtime and RIPARAM user prompts. ____I^m a little uncertain about what to do first. Do I need to upgrade all the runtime files before I start viewing or modifying reports with 9.0? Any compatibility issues I should worry about? Any suggestions on the best strategy for migrating to version 9.0 with the fewest headaches would be greatly appreciated.

I would upgrade all of the executables first.____Reports saved in Version 9 can be run from Version 8 runtime.__There are some compatibility notes in the V9 README.RTF that discuss running V9 reports in earlier releases.____Kathleen__R&R Support
