Maybe this code can help you, I use it to run my reports on different db's
ofcourse the tablenames have to be the same.

Hi, I've designed several Crystal Reports using the built in wizard.
They point to my database as HQ which is called "Thom". There is a
database called Sales on Thom which all the reports point to and get
their results from.
I'm ready to compile my program to give to the users at a different
site. They have a database server there called "Sidney" which had a
copy of the same "Sales" database on there. Is there a way I can
change the database of my report when I load it each time, it looks
like I'd have to go through each individual report and change the
database settings which would be very time consuming as I will be using
quite a few database servers with this program. I'd like to just
specify a database or dataset in the code.
This is how I call the report:
Dim Cr As New crRefunds
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Cr
it would be ideal if I could put a line in above, something like
cr.database = "Sidney". Is anything like this possible? If not what
is the best way to switch the database?
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated as I'm really stuck
with this one.
