[GENERAL] Crystal reports 9 fails to recognise data on upgrade to 8.0.1

[Kristina Magwood]

Hi,
We are updating from v7.3 to v8.0.1 as well as transferring the database to a new machine.  We use Crystal Reports 9 to access the data on a production basis.  Unfortunately, Crystal Reports 9 fails to recognise some of the data fields on the new database.  In particular, it does not recognise VARCHAR 256 and larger.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kristina Magwood
