Crystal reports to Reporting Services
Crystal reports to Reporting Services
Is there any way I can convert Crystal reports to Reporting Services instead of creating reports again in Reporting Services?

From http://blog.hundhausen.com/ConvertingCrystalReportsRptToReportingServicesReportsRdl.aspx(and I have no idea whether this is true):
There are way too many Crystal Reports out there in the world and I would love to see more of them converted to Reporting Services. Therein lies the problem. I had heard that Crystal (now BusinessObjects) had blockedcompanies, like Hitachi, from building converters, because they would bereverse engineering (or using the APIs to reverse engineer) the .rpt files, and that would violate the license agreement.
Microsoft only provides migration guidance, but I see that one company, KTL Solutions, has a conversion product available, and another company, Jeff-Net is offering a $25/report conversion service at rpttordl.com.
There do seem to be a lot of "migration partners" (gack!) listed in various places.
