This upgrade is not smooth for any Crystal reports that you may have
created. The Gallery System "canned" reports will transfer fine, but any
Crystal reports that the Speed created will have to be fixed. (especially
if they include the Constituent Country field). Gallery does not support
any Crystal reports created by individual museums, if TMS changes with
regards to any of the fields you have used in your reports, you will have
to map these changes, update your formulas and reconstruct your Crystal
reports. This can be time consuming. BMA created over 100 personalized
Crystal reports (loan agreements, shipping crate lists, vouchers, form
letters) because we generate all paperwork for loans, exhibitions and
acquisitions from TMS. Each time we go through an upgrade these reports
have to be fixed in some way. As far as I know, through talks with Dimitry
and Brian, there really isn't anything that Gallery can/will do about it.
