Topic: Reports altering database Posted: 07 Oct 2013 at 7:27am
Is it possible for a report to CHANGE the information in a database. I have created a lot of reports and recently our database was corrupted (information disappeared). The company that makes the software that we are running reports against said that we made a report that corrupted the data base. I believe they are just trying to pass the buck. SO NOW our management has me using CR on a backup of the database and all the reports I run are for the previous day's backup. I would like to be able to convince my company that a report can not alter the database.

Normally Crystal cannot update an database. But after reading a number of posts, it might be possible with using a Command query or a stored procedure. I have never tried myself.
