1218727 - CR 9 reports off Fox Pro and SQL Server have different data in CR XI

The issue has been identified and tracked under ID ADAPT00435607.

Hot Fixes or Service Packs address this issue as indicated below. With the update(s), this issue is resolved. A new feature for external joins was added since the version 9 release of Crystal Reports. In this particular case the external joins do not function properly. A registry key has been added to control this functionality.
