We have modified several reports for our use (particularly, making the
Notes area "grow").  The issue I believe you're having is with the ODBC
connection credentials assumed by the canned reports.  The OOTB (canned)
reports will work with the credentials BMC embedded, but if you modify
them, you'll have to work with your local credentials.

First of all, save a copy of the original report (but you already knew
that).  Make desired changes to a copy, and "verify" the database.  Make
sure that the "new" connection is using valid local user credentials
and/or ODBC connection settings.  Replace the file in the Report form
record, and you should be on your way.

They just will not pull anything back from the database.
 
For example take any of the incidnet reports, I have connected to the
database and when I refrech the report from Crystam, it will prompt you
and then say that there was no data to pull back.
 
If then create a new report (also on the HPD:Helpdek) it runs great.
 
Its very strange, almost like its not talking to the same database, but
there is only one connection.

        Good afternoon all,
         
        I hope you had a great weekend.
         
        Now for the question, has anyone had issues with modifying the
out of box crystal reports?
         
        I can create new reports with no issues, however I am getting
some strange issues changing the out of box ones.
         
        FYI: this is ITSM 7, patch 7 running on 7.1 patch 3.
         
        Thanks,
