I'm not sure if the old database will go away immediately or not. &nbsp;Has anyone out there ever used rptInspector? Have any experiences to share?

I haven't. &nbsp;I have read some good things on it and generally Ken Hamady doesn't link to tools that don't work as advertised. &nbsp;I got the link originally through his site.<br />

Thank you mlmcc! &nbsp;I read Ken's review and I, too tend to trust his opinions. &nbsp;I think I'll give it a try.

We are setting up a completely new environment for our Cimpro database which means I must set up a new ODBC data source. &nbsp;Is there a way, once I've done this, to switch all of the Crystal reports that have been previously set up in the Central Management Console to the new datasource at one time? &nbsp;I have over 1200 objects that need to be updated and would really hate to do them individually!<br />

Thanks!

Update all Crystal Reports in the CMC to a new datasource at once?

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.

Crystal Reports

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

A database report is the formatted result of database queries and contains useful data for decision-making and analysis. Most good business applications contain a built-in reporting tool; this is simply a front-end interface that calls or runs back-end database queries that are formatted for easy application usage.
