File Identification

The RPT format has changed little over the different versions.[3][4] The RPT format can be contained within the "OLE2" document container format.[5] Contents of OLE container may include "SummaryInformation", "Contents", "ReportInfo", DataSourceManager", "SavedRecordsStream", among others.[6]

File Compatibility

The RPT file format has stayed very similar through the versions, but in version 9, unicode support was added so it won't be possible to open newer files in an older version.[7]
