I use CR Standard 11.x and need to change the database name and server name on a .rpt file.

How can I change this?

Thanks in advance!

I have a batch of these to do and would like to automate it with a .vbs or .bat script - any ideas?

This can't be done in a .bat script.  I'm not sure whether it can be done with a .vbs script.  You might be able to do it in VBA.
 
There is an SDK available for Crystal in .NET and Java versions that can be used to do this sort of thing.  There might also be a third-party tool available that will do this.  You can check www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html for a list of tools to get you started.

I have heard of third party software that is supposed to be able to do this.  We were looking at it at one time.  Do not remember any names.
