I am started to work on a project with DevExpress 7.1.4 (old version 2007) and when I am trying to open the report I am getting the following error: The MenuBar parameter must be a boolean

If someone had the same problem and how can it be solved? please, write about it. Thank you.

UPD: I found that 7.1.4 is not compatible with vs17, but I can't know any idea where I could open the report by 7.1.4

If you view the Prerequisites documentation, you will see that DevExpress v7.1.4 is only compatible with Visual Studio versions 2005 and 2008. You will need to either change to a newer version of the DevExpress XtraReports suite or use an older version of Visual Studio to work with your version.
