Why won't Crystal Reports let me update the Database Expert Query?

Hello everybody!  I am in the process of trying to update the Database Expert Query, but when I hit OK and go back and check, there is no change to the query.  What am I doing wrong and how do I change the Database Expert Query?  Is there anything I can do to change this?

If this is a report from a previous version of Crystal that is based on a Crystal Query (created using the Crystal SQL Designer) then you have two options:

1)  If you have Crystal Reports Server, Crystal Enterprise 10 or BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, then you can use the Database Migration Wizard.  This will convert the query to a SQL Command Objects

2)  If you don't have any of the above software, you can rewrite the report.

Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
