i have a problem with crystal report server.
actually my requiement is, i want to change my connection string at run time. you can say that there will be one connection from where report will display user list, on the basis of that user an another connection will be open and it will connect to that user's database. my report is deployed on crystal report server. i m not using any programming language.
is it possible in crystal report.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Crystal Reports Server. However, for standard Crystal Reports you have to do this with programming code. Can someone else pitch in here to say whether the server edition requires code as well?

You have to use programming code. Again, I haven't used Crystal Reports Server before so I don't know the best way to go about it.
