Those are the 2 tools most of us are aware of. &nbsp;There are probably others but none have surfaced.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately there is &nbsp;no way with Crystal itself to upgrade/change the database or database driver except by opening the reports one at a time.<br />

I will buy the R-Tag solution. &nbsp;The cost is worth the number of hours of doing it manually.<br />
<br />
Thanks

We have an application, that over the years we have created over 160 reports. The problem is, whilst we have updated the SQL Server on a regular basis, our reports all use different versions of the SQL Native client. &nbsp;So when we install the app on clients machine we have to install multiple versions of the native client. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What I wold like to know is, is there an easy way to update all the reports to use the latest version of the Native Client, without having to oper every report, and update the connection. <br />
<br />
many thanks

Crystal Reports Change Database Driver on 160+ 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.
