Dynamically change Text on CRytal reports in asp .net 2.0
I have server 2003 a
aap .net 2.0
Crytal reports developer XI
mysql backend
I need to know how to do is dynamically change a text box on the report from the Aspx.vb code and also do I have to recreate my report everytime I change the data connection? Both of these questions seem simple enough but I can't find a resource to answer them.

jaiganeshsrinivasan: I don't mean reconnecting to the same data set. I mean - say a I want to have a new report based on a different view with some different fields but I don't want to recreate the full report i.e I want to keep the entire formatt of the report but just reasign and add a few new fields. It seems like it forces me to clear all my field boxs.

In terms of recreating the full report everytime I change the structure to the underlying table - I think this is nuts and I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong because I can't believe that the CR would be set up like this. Am I right?

OK - I don't think I clearly stated the 2cnd problem

you can set the connection string as a parameter to your crystal report viewer and the CR will take this server name and db name as the data source along with your query....
and you can have an expression (a formula) which will display a paramter value(@something)...you can have this value being passed from your front end (usual way of setting formalas fron Asp.net)
