Hello,
 
I'm having some trouble updating db tables in crystal report designer 11.  Where do I go in crystal to update/view which db tables are being used in a specific report?
 
Thanks,
Andrew

To see which databases are being used in a report, goto the menu options Database | Database Expert.

I don't know what you are doing. Are you linking tables with the database expert or do you want to enter a custom SQL string? If you want to enter a custom SQL string, then you have to click the Add Command node listed under your datasource name in the Database Expert dialog box.

Im looking at the "show sql query " under the database tab.  The query that is being shown needs to adjusted becuase of some table name changes. Can I edit this SQL statement or do I need to add a whole new SQL statement?

That query can't be changed. It is a result of the tables you picked in the Database Expert. If you want to change table names then you need to choose the menu items Database | Set Database Location. Then you can click the old table and replace it with the new table. Afterwards you'll be able to look at your SQL Query and see that it is different.
