Hi Don, Thanks for the update - it really did make me smile. I thought you retired?? You need a hobby!!

3315543 - Unable to save Conditional Suppression Formula of a Text Object in Crystal Reports. Not a critical issue but, everyone who uses the designer is going to run into it and there is no error or indication that the formula was not saved. We have written a work around for users. Pasted below.

We created a customized version of Crystal Reports for distribution throughout Sage NA and some parts of Europe. Our customized build is based on 2020 SP3. I know there is a patch for 3315543 but that will need force us to go through the customization process all over again.

The patch is larger than our build of 2020.

The patch requires the user to enter a keycode to install.

Just hoping to get a date for SP4 so we can customize that version and redistribute.

Thanks and take care. Who do I need to speak with to get you back on SAP's payroll?? 🙂

SAP Crystal Reports 2020 SP3 for Sage.

Hi John,

When it's ready... lol Sorry couldn't resist...

SP's are major releases, I doubt anyone knows the date yet and typically they are released yearly but that's just an estimate.

Is there a specific reason you are looking for it?

Don

PS - I'm retired now but I still have contacts if it's something that is publicly available.
