.rpt Inspector Enterprise Suite for Crystal Enterprise 9 / Crystal Reports 9 3.12

19 tools for Crystal Enterprise in the most powerful, integrated, & easiest suite of tools to Monitor, Manage, Edit, Analyze, Document, Modify, Migrate & Convert + more :: one or many Crystal Reports, Schedules, Instances, Objects at the same time!

All the power of .rpt Inspector Professional Suite plus integration with Crystal Enterprise & version control.

.rpt Inspector can easily work with 1 Crystal Report / Schedule / Instance / Object at a time, but its true power is working with multiple Crystal Reports / Schedules / Instances / Objects at the same time.

In seconds an in-memory cross-reference object and property index is built for each open Crystal Report and all associated Schedules and Instances of the Crystal Report object. Selecting an object (i.e. Formula, Text, Section, Parameter, etc.) instantly reveals its properties (i.e. Definition Text, Color, Font, Prompting Text, Default Values, etc.). Selecting multiple objects (even across different Crystal Reports), shows you the properties they have in-common.

Unlike Crystal Enterprise, with .rpt Inspector you can even modify your existing Schedules and re-run failed or successful instances without having to re-enter all the values from scratch.

Reads CR 5-9 file formats & Writes CR 9 file format. Other editions support CE 10, BO XI, BO XI R2.

Requirements: Crystal Reports 9 with service pack 2 or higher

In certain cases, clicking the checkbox on some rows would not result in a selection. o [File - SAVE] - Fixed issue which affected saving meta data properties to Enterprise. In certain conditions, the changes were not being saved. However, changes the same properties on file system reports worked. o [File - SAVE] - Fixed issue in trial mode which would complain that the "SAVE LIMIT EXCEEDED", even if you've never saved before, and result in a non-save.
