Hi all.
I did a report in Crystal for a payroll program. they start a company which is a database.
now can i use 1 report for all the companies because all the companies/database will have exactly the same tables and heading etc.
how would i change the databasename for the report so that i can get the data from the different databases.... i did it like this but it aint working
