    How do I change the db server and db without changing the report

    Can anyone tell me how to manually change the database and database server in the report without having to change the tables/formulas etc. When I try to change the database/server, I need to manually bring in the new tables and rename all the fields, formulas and groups to point to the new database data. Is there a way to leave everything as is and only change the database and have it automatically pull correctly?

    We can change the server, the database name and the location of them with no problems, but if You need to rename the field names it is obvious that it is not the same table; why not to design a new report for that !
