Hi. We've decided to convert our Crystal Reports to SSRS 2005. We know (thanks to this forum) there are companies that will convert the reports at a cost; however, we'd like to undertake this ourselves. Are there resources you can point us to that might be specific for Crystal Reports users coming over to SSRS, especially for newbies? Thank you.

It took our company (Hitachi Consulting) a couple years to develop a functional conversion application (I think we're on rev. 5 now) to support our conversion project efforts. You'll need to use the Crystal object model/API to parse an rpt and then write out the RDL XML tags. It's not an easy task.

RptToRdl.Com can help with your report conversions. There's really no reason to convert the reports yourself. You will spend way more creating the conversions. http://www.rpttordl.com Check out the FAQ and you can get a free trial conversion.
