Converting Crystal to latest version - Sorting field not found.

SUGGESTED

I have created a report with two database connections using SQL statements to Sage.  One to the "PO_PurchaseOrderDetail" table and the other to the "SO_SalesOrderDetail" table.  The report works well in Crystal 2011.

Added the report to the Report Manager, in the Sales Order module.  We try to run the report and answer "Yes" to the conversion.  Get an error that states "Could not convert sort '{ConnectionName.POPurchaseOrderNo}'. Sorting field not found."

Tried to add the report to the Report Manager, in the Purchase Order module.  Same result.

I have the feeling that this is a table assess error.  Any ideas??

    Thank you for your thoughts.  I attached directly to the Sage tables, but I'm using a "command" so I can use an Outer Join on the results.  The data is populating properly and I'm a lot closer!  Now I'm getting an invalid field error when I try to convert the report into Sage.

    I did a bit of research on the web and the "invalid field name" error comes from a user parameter field.  I took out the parameter and took it out of the queries too.  Still no go.

    Thinking outside the box a bit..., is there a "work" table that has SO data and PO data that is linked by SO number??  Thinking of using an existing table instead of building the result set.

    Thanks for all your help.

    I'm having the same error with another database when converting a report on Sage 100 2014.  "Could not covert sort '<databasename>': Sorting field not found."  

    How do you enter a sorting field in Crystal?  When I run this custom report in Crystal directly it works fine and is verified.

    It may be cheating but since the report runs in Crystal and not Mas 100, I figured I would try this work around.

    In Crystal:

    File, Summary Information. In the field Key Words paste in or enter in "Converted to version 5.10b”

    It runs fine now and doesn't try to convert.
