Hi All,
 
is it possible for CR XI to select a database source based on a report parameter?  I have one report that serves two different libraries, both on a same server.  I have two parameters: lib1, lib2. So when user select lib1, I wish the report will point to DB sourceX; if user select lib2, the report will point to DB sourceY.  could anyone please advise if this is  achievable?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, no.  You can't change the datasource internally in the report.  However, you can change it through the SDK by writing an interface that runs the report and sets the database appropriately.
