Hi guys, I am currently developing an accounting soft with different companies and diff databases. everything works fine except with datasource location of my reports. coz i am using same reports on different companies with different database. so everytime i deploy my system on the user i manualy change the datasource location of the report its kind a time consuming task. i really need to know how to set a report that can adopt or connect on different database. can anyone help me solve this. thank u and more power.

Many people complain about this and there isn't an easy way to do it. One way is to create a .NET interface and within .NET you can change the server name and database name to be custom for each client. That is pretty easy, but you have to be a .NET programmer.
