    Posted: 27 Oct 2008 at 7:36am
I have 100 MS Access databases.  All have the same table layout.  Each one is for a different customer.  My question is this:  After I create a .NET 2008 Windows Crystal Report project that connects to one of the databases, how can I then at runtime change the database (mdb file) that the report uses?  I searched everywhere in the code that is created by VS 2008 and could not find any datasource setting that points to the mdb file.  Please let me know if this is possible and what is the preferred method.

I have found I can do this in the Form Load event, is this acceptable?

CrystalReport11.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection("C:\\DBS\\Customer X\\CustomerX.mdb", "", false);
