Crystal Reports sucks

For VSS.NET 2003 and crystal 9
You must apply SP1, SP2, SP3 to fix a host of issues including table alias not handled properly when crystal renders its internal report query.

Also: If table schema has changed for an existing report, connect to database with current schema and use database expert to sync cached schema in report to actual schema.

Why anyone stills uses this product is beyond me? At least editor ingration into VSS.NET makes it 2% less painful.

Crystal 9 will connect to SQL Server 2008 database.
