Is there any version of Crystal Reports where I can batch change the data source?
We currently have Crystal Reports 9, and need to change the data source for all our reports (roughly 170). Obviously, doing this by hand will be exceedingly time consuming. However, I can't find a batch edit function within this version of Crystal. Am I missing anything? If we update to the current version, can we do this as a batch?
NOTE: I'm aware of the third party .rpt Inpector program. I'd like to definitively know whether or not this can be handled by an update to Crystal itself before looking at a third party solution. (Especially one that costs $400) Any proposed solution that brings up any third party option that costs more than $100 will not get points. Thanks! :-)

At that same link is a tool called rptInspector that is supposed to be able to make mass updates to a set of reports.

Yes - that's the one that I mention is $400 and not really the way I'd like to go, in the original question.
