Crystal Reports Solutions: Converting Access Reports to Crystal Reports

After years of using a desktop database application for the enterprise, your company has finally decided to upgrade to a database system more suited to the demands being placed upon it. They've also decided to install a Crystal Reports (Business Objects) business information system.

This is great, but what about all of the reports that now exist in the Access system? Users rely on those reports. Are you going to rewrite them from scratch? Hire a report developer to do it? Let users just twist in the breeze?

You have another option: Buy Access2Crystal and let it do the dirty work.

Access2Crystal greatly simplifies the process of converting a Microsoft Access report into a similar Crystal report. Now, you can migrate your Access reports into Crystal Reports--the easy way!
