This is kind of a specialized question for .NET developers, but I know there are a few of us out there. I’m using Visual [Studio.Net](http://Studio.Net) 2003, which has a version of Crystal Reports included. I also have installed on my machine an upgrade version of Crystal Studio Developer v. 10, which I can run in standalone mode, but Visual Studio still uses the .NET version of Crystal.

Does anybody know how to make Visual Studio recognize that I have upgraded to a newer version of Crystal?

Thanks.
