Hi Arthur,

Just doing this from memory from version 8.x...

Under database, there was something like Set Location.  It may have been
called something else, but it was maybe the first or second thing under
Database.

Thanks,
Bobby

Subject: [dba-Tech] Question about SAP Crystal Reports

I'm doing a bit of work on a project that uses Crystal Reports. I've never
used CR, but report writers are pretty much like snowflakes -- all a bit
different but also pretty much the same.

The data source is a SQL database. In an existing report, I can see the list
of available tables, with some added to the report of interest.

What I cannot find is the connection information. I wandered down the
Database menu and couldn't find it there. I looked on the Report menu,
thinking it might be under Report Options or some such, but saw nothing
relevant there either.

At this point I don't even know the name of the underlying database. If you
know Crystal Reports, can you tell me where to see the connection
information?

Arthur
