Hi
I have many reports that I create and test in my development website before publishig to my users, is there a way to change the dataset the report points to in bulk, having to go one at a time is time consuming.
 
Also does anyone know why when you change a dataset the properties do indicate it is pointing to the correct one but just in plain view it looks like it is pointing towards the old one, how can this be refreshed.
 
This is also a time consuming task to have to check the poroperties to make sure the report is pointing to the correct dataset.
 
Thanks
Xavier

I believe there is a third party software that will do this.  I do not remember the name of the product.

You can actually change the name of the datasource to whatever you want in the Database Expert.  If you right click on the datasource in the right-hand side of the Database Expert, there will be a "rename" option that pops up.  I was able to rename it so it reflected the source change.
 
I too was wondering why my table didn't change to my view.  I found your post which helped me figure out that in fact, it did change, so thanks!

Yes, you can change the name by going into the Database Expert in the drop down menu under Database. Right click on the name of the "Table" in the Selected Tables: section and choose the Rename option.

Don't ask me why they require this, but if you change the stored procedure as you describe:

- Go to the Report Explorer

- Right-click on the (old) procedure name [this is usuall the top element of the tree for my reports]

- Select the 'Summary Info' menu choice

- Update the text for the 'Title' field to reflect the actual stored procedure name, and click 'OK'
