Upgrade from RB5 to RB6

edited July 2001 in General
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,
