Upgrade from RB5 to RB6

rbuser

Hi,

We are using RB 5.0 in our application and want to install RB 6.0 for an
upcoming release. I understand that RB will automatically upgrade
end-user's reports to the current version once they install our app that
contains 6.0. Is there any problem upgrading those reports all the way from
5.0 to 6.0? Do we need to go in steps (5.2, 5.5, etc.)?

Thanks,

You do not need to open the reports in any intermediate version of RB for
the conversion process to work correctly. The reports are converted from
the report's version directly to the new version, automatically, when they
are opened. The conversion is persistent when the report is saved back down
to file or database. To be safe, save all of you end user's reports in
their 5.0 format in a backup database or to file.

Cheers,
