It can only get worse: the company does rather well - 5 users becomes 50 - then you have to make some schema changes...
In all fairness, he may not strictly be talking about entire separate databases for each user. He may be talking about user-owned tables in a single database. This is a methodology that does have some distinct advantages. But, again, Crystal does not deal well with changing anything about the connection on the fly.
