1300659 - Does the Crystal Reports bundle (version 10.5) of Visual Studio .NET 2008 support backward compatibility with versions 10.2 and 10.0?

• Bundled versions of Crystal Reports do not ship with the full complement of database DLLs included in full versions.
  • Reports created in full Crystal Reports 10.0 using the Visual Studio .NET 2005 (10.2) or Visual
    Studio .NET 2008 (10.5) runtime may display a database error.
  • An example of a missing database driver is the native Oracle driver; crdb_oracle.dll
•  There have been no major changes in report structure or functionality of Crystal Reports version 10.
• With the exception of database connectivity, report design should not cause compatibility issues.
