    Crystal Reports XI

    I've inherited a VB6 DAO application and am trying to use CRXI with it. All reports were done in CR8.5.

    Need to change the database that a report is using during runtime. This application creates databases from a template and enables users to run reports from them.

    So, I'll run Report A off of DB1. Then I might want to run Report A off of DB2, etc.

    How do I change the database or datasource?

    Thanks.

    I suggest you keep your reports in 8.5 - XI is completely different product and requires completely different programming technic.
    It will be like going from VB6 to VB.Net. Crystal Reports XI doesn't even have an ocx that used to be available before Business Objects bought the product.
