[DUG] Crystal reports

[Robert martin]

Hi   I am working with an ODBC based crystal report.  At runtime I want to be able to change the DB the report is looking at (without having multiple DSN's defined).  The crystal Help suggests this is possible using the .connect properties however they seem to be ignored when I set them.   var     cr      : TCrpe;     cnt     : Integer; begin     cr := TCrpe.Create(Self);     try         cr.ReportName := 'C:\a.rpt';         cr.Connect.Clear;         cr.Connect.DatabaseName := '<CRWDC>DSQ=' + Edit1.Text;         cr.Connect.Propagate := True;         cr.Show;           while (cr.ReportWindowHandle <> 0) do begin             Application.ProcessMessages;         end;     finally         cr.Free;     end;     I have also tried 'Database' instead of 'DSQ' as suggested in the help but to no avail.  I am using Crystal 8.5 and the  Firebird ODBC driver.  Any suggestions?         Rob Martin Software Engineer   phone 03 377 0495 fax 03 377 0496    web www.chreos.com
