If you have the SQL, you can use passthru to redo the programs or use the SQL Report tool.

Otherwise, you will have to re-write the reports. To my knowledge, there is not a conversion tool.

You might want to do a search on this forum for 'Business Objects' and see if there are other comments of this type.

Rao,
I did a project going the other way, but we didn't do a conversion -- we rewrote the reports. WF is an application development tool; BO Crystal is a reporting tool. Big difference in capabilities. You should be able to capture the SQL, even if you have to cut-n-paste, but it's still a project and you can't skip any steps.

I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you may have.
