I'm kinda new at developing Crystal Reports, but very experienced VB user. I
have come to a problem with Crystal Reports that I need help with. My
scenario is this:

- My application supports multiple Database-platforms (Jet, mssql, and its
planned to support Oracle etc)
- My application can run agains many databases (only one at a time though).
- I created a Report using CR and need it to run against all of the
databases in my system. I therefore need to know how to change the
datasource of a report from f.eks. a Microsoft Jet database to a
Mssql-server.

I plan to use the ActiveX objects that CR has provided (late binding for
those who know what it is).
I have successfully integrated both Access (as a report-generator) and
Active reports (damned good tool) with my system, but with CR I need help

Please anyone!.. its kinda urgent

It works as follows:
- You describe your table layout in a data definition file
- As data source, you use this data definition file
- In your VB app, you create a ADO recordset. T
- connect the recordset as datasource to the table in the report:
    set   myReport.database.table(x).datasource = myRecordSet

We use this  method in all our reports. It has great advantages because you
have full control of the data that are processed by the report.

There are many examples in the sample applications that Seagate distributed
with the RDC.

I cant believe that CR has made a COM Object(or two  :P) which cannot do
this for me. :(.

Is it REALLY impossible for the COM Object to to it ?, is the
Data-Definition file really nessessary (I HOPE to avoid it)
