Crystal Report Data Source Using DLL

Is this possible?
I want to add database to crystal report (I'm using crystal report 8.5) from a dll file.

Could you explain what you are trying to do a little more in depth? :confused:

Usually to add a data source I choose Database -> Add Database to Report, right? Then I will choose the connection to db that I want, I'm usually using ADO and OLEDB. The DB itself maybe an access file or from SQL Server (here I'm using SQL Server). After finish adding a database, if I choose Database -> Set Location, at the Database group there is a list of table name that I've choose before and at the Location group show where the table came from e.g. Table: MYDB.dbo.MYTABLE, right?

Ok then, my question is, how to make the Location of the table in list came from a dll files e.g. Files: C:\MyFolder\MyDLL.dll.

Thanks. Hope u can understand my explaination.

Ok, a little better. If you mean to change the datasource at runtime to the
dll location, then that one thing, but if you mean for design time then I dont
think you can do it for a dll. Which is what you need?
