How can I alter a crystal report connection properties with code

I have many crystal report instances. The server they point to has undergone a slight name change. It will take a very long time to open each report and make this change manually. Is there a way I can do this via a script instead?

I am perfectly comfortable writing code, but I need to know if this is a simple matter of using libraries to open and alter the reports, and if so, which libraries. I'd rather do this in c#.

It would probably be more cost effective to use these third party solutions than to code it myself since the company would likely spend more for my time than the registration of one of these programs. Therefore this is a perfect solution for me. Thank you.
