[VB-APP] Databases in Crystal Reports

MrMancunian

Hi,

I recently changed my database type from Access to SQL. I changed all old database references to the new DSN. I also did this in my Crystal Reports reports. Now, when I rename the old Access-database, Crystal Reports says it cannot connect to the database. Any suggestions on how to check to which database it connects?

Thnx,

Steven

This is usually done through checking the connection string, if you store it a config file there is an easy reference. Also the oldb & sql connections will differ.

Unfortunately, that doesn't go for Crystal Reports. Or I must be missing something...?

So you are using Chrystal Reports as a stand alone?

No, i'm using it with Visual Studio 2005.

Can anyone tell me where CR saves the database location?
