Crystal Report Database Binding Problem (DSN, ODBC)

Hi All

I use a ODBC Connection to Connect to a AS400 System. I created a new DSN in the Windows System. The Databaseaccess is made directly out of the Crystal Report...so the Crystal Report is bound to the DSN i made in my Windowssystem. My Question is...How can i make a deploymentpackage and deploy my stuff on a customer machine with a diffrent DSN...can i specify the DSN somewhere outside Crystal Report to change it to a new one? or do i have to go another way to solve the problem?

As I had the Problem with my customer i had to set the new DSN connecting to the network of the customer...then replace the old connection in the crystal report and rebuild the report before it worked correctly...would be nice if there was a better way to deliver crystal reports...

thanks for your help
