	While I created a crystal report, I develop the report by connecting to Development Environment.(Username, Pwd, conn_dev) Now I want to migrate the report to Test environment. Could some one advice me how to switch the only connection string (conn_test). So that I can use the design part same as the Developement. Thanks for looking into. Thanks,
