I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498

For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.

Looks like a dead topic but I thought I'd post anyway.

What's new in FixPack 3.2? It's been available for a week or so but the link at the top of this thread doesn't appear to list it.

Thanks in advance,

Why one can not download anything from your support site?

I get everytime a message saying: Download Aborted wrong username or password. ( I am logged in )

Does this mean, that VS2008 & Crystal Reports has NOT anykind of support?

Please create a new thread and specify what it is you are looking to download. An example of a link would be nice...

Hi,

Where is the documentation to be found for CR2008 FP 2.8?

Thanks,

Peter.

[former_member184995]

It has not been uploaded yet. I have let the person in charge know and it should be done soon.

Check my updated link peroidically to see if it has been posted.

[former_member184995]

Hi Peter,

The page has been updated with 2.8 information.

Thanks, I can see the documents now, however the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document does not list any issues fixed in FP2.8, is this correct?

[former_member184995]

I have asked about this and when I hear something I will let you know.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Any news on why the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document does not list any issues fixed in FP2.8.

Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?

Thanks.

[former_member183750]

Umm, look at the very 1st post on this thread from Jason:

Future Crystal Reports fix pack and service pack information (fixed issues and release notes) will now be posted here

Click on the "here" in that post and you will get to a page that has it all documented...

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.

My question:

Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........

Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?

Thanks,

Peter.

[former_member184995]

Hi Peter,

For whatever reason there was no documented changes in that fixpack for 2.8 so you will not be seeing anything.

2.9 will come out when the person on charge of that page gets the information posted. It should be happening soon.

Thanks for the update Jason, my predicament is that I have to decide which fix pack to issue with our next software release, and without any documentation I can't decide if we need to put any extra effort into including the latest fix pack based on the fixed issues and if any of our customers are likely to experience any of these. If there's any chance the fixed issues can be documented for FP2.8 that would be great, meantime I'll await the documentation for FP2.9.

Thanks,

Peter.

Documentation for Fix Pack 2.9 is now available on the [Crystal Reports 2008 Reference page|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/10e38d93-7f07-2d10-beae-e739182f8ada] [original link is broken];.

The Release Notes and Fixed Issues docs are there as well as links to the Click Once, Merge Modules, and Redist Install files.

...including fixed issues for FP2.8 and FP2.9.

Thanks Tom!

Thanks for dropping in Tom

He is the main man who created and maintains that update page so that folks without access to SMP can get the CR updates.

Hi,

Where is the documentation to be found for CR2008 SP3?

Thanks,

Peter.

[former_member183750]

As far as I know SP3 has not released yet(?).

Ludek

[Former Member]

This was released on the 26th May according to the download link, I downloaded the merge modules and designer for SP3 yesterday, I've already built an install and installed the merge module for the runtime for SP3, I'm currently installing SP3 for the designer.

I'm hoping for a fix in this regarding orientation for label printing, but no joy so far......hence my request for documentation.

Thanks.

[former_member184995]

Hi Peter,

I checked with the person who creates the documentation and it should be up today hopefully, but if not early next week.

Sorry for the delay.

Best Regards,

Jason
