Ok, what I need to be able to do is the following:

MHP/FINANCE/Rpt 1

Rpt 1 needs to be modified, I need to be able to make changes to report one BUT still allow it to be used as is until new version is done AND retain all past instances and recurring schedules, anyone have any ideas???

I know if I move it it will retain the history BUT, it wouldn't be able to be used as is then and if i copy it I can make changes but no history is retained.

HELP PLEASE, I'm thinking this is easier than I am making it.

I assume you're trying to update this in BusinessObjects Enterprise....
 
You can do this by updating the report by connecting Crystal to BO (File|Save As, click on the Enterprise button on the bottom left.)  You then need to go to the CMC and make sure that the database connection is set up correctly (user ID and password don't usually come through in this type of an update.)  You'll also have to delete any recurring schedules for the report and reschedule them from scratch (using the "Reschedule" option on the instance will get you the old version of the report, not the updated one.)
