Crystal Reports. Changing dataset schema

Hi all

I recently changed the schema of a dataset (added one
field, and changed another field type from STRING to
DATE). I want this reflected in my Crystal Reports
Designer.

Please don't tell me to recreate the report as a lot of
work has already been spent on this report.

I will list the solutions I got from others on
groups.google.com newsgroups:

1. Verify Database : Doesn't work. Even found others
commenting that this just detects new tables, and not new
fields.

2. DATABASE/SET LOCATION: This supposedly worked for one
person on this newsgroup. But didn't for me. Or am I not
doing it correctly? When I tried to set the location to
the same location (and then clicking REPLACE) it loaded
the same old dataset

3. Restart Visual Studio.NET: Didn't work

4. Close and reload the .rpt and .xsd file : Didn't work

5. Log on/off the server : Didn't work

HELP! :-)

Regards

Michelle

My vote would be the same as number 2 below. I've done this numerous times
as I change the schema of my typed datasets. Be sure your new dataset is
coming up in the list to select...

Thanks for your message

I tried again and again... but didn't work. Can u please detail the
exact steps to perform?

This is what I do. In field explorer, i right-click the dataset to
update. Then I click on SET LOCATION. When the list comes up, I
already have the same dataset as the "CURRENT DATASET" and I have the
same dataset in the tree control on the right as the default
selection. I just click on REPLACE and close the dialog. But the field
explorer still shows the same old dataset.

Anything I am missing? Thanks...

Had similar problem and solved it with those steps:
1) Set location/replace
2) Verify database

it looks like both steps are needed.
