ActiveReports for .NET 6.0的最新更新增加了一个非常实用的工具，可以把Crystal Reports报表（2005和2008版本）转换为ActiveReports报表。ActiveReports的安装程序会在“程序”启动菜单“GrapeCity/ActiveReports 6”下增加两个菜单。
1． 使用"CrystalToAR2005"工具转换Crystal Reports 2005报表。
2． 使用"CrystalToAR2008"工具转换Crystal Reports 2008报表。
为了运行上述转换工具，你需要安装Visual Studio和 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio。Visual Studio版本和对应的Crystal Reports版本如下:
| Visual Studio | 版本 | Crystal Reports |
| 2005 | Professional, Team System | Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 |
| 2008 | Professional, Team System | Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 |
转换完成后，会生成一个ActiveReports的.rpx 报表文件。
转换的报表元素对应表和相关说明如下：
| Crystal Reports | ActiveReports | Note |
| BoxObject | Shape | The line width property is not imported. If the box extends to multiple sections, the box is imported as line controls. |
| ChartObject | ChartControl | The settings and data are not imported. |
| CrossTabObject | SubReport | Cross tabs are not imported. |
| LineObject | Line | The size of Dot and Dash (the Line Style property) is not exactly the same. |
| PictureObject | Picture | Image data is not imported. |
| SubreportObject | SubReport | You need to set the SubReport in code after the conversion. |
| TextObject | Label | Only "page number", "total page" and "page n of m" from "Special Fields" are supported. |
| FieldObject | TextBox | Only "page number", "total page" and "page n of m" from "Special Fields" are supported. |
存在的一些转换限制：
・ 一些ActiveReports不支持的元素、文字格式等将不会被导入。
・ Shadow属性不会被导入。
・ OLE对象不会被导入，因为OLE对象在Crystal Reports对象结构中是作为PictureObject处理。
