Hay developers

In Visual studio 2005 in Crystal Report Editor you can find "Set datasource location...". There you can change everything (mapping, datasource, even dataprovider). So far so good, but if you want to change DATAPROVIDER runtime (in code) you have big problem. You can change datasource to other database on the same platform, but you cannot change ORACLE to SQL database ??

It seems that changing DATABASENAME doesn't do anything. This is understandable because ORACLE (i design report originaly for ORACLE) does't have database name, you just specified SERVERNAME, USERID and PASSWORD.

So I think the problem lies in fact that you cannot change PROVIDER runtime??

So basicaly I'm able to change provider from ORACLE to SQL in IDE with no problem but not on runtime

I try allmost everything and nothing works form me (see example below).

BTW I'm IT pro and I know what I'm doing, so don't answer to my question like "do you have SQL started" or "is your password writen correct"
no ofense  Dead

If you have hundrets of report you cannot do this thru IDE.

Please help

Best regards Jerry
