There are properties of the runtime report that allow you to change the data
source. See the articles on my website for more help.

used by the same program.  Of course, for these databases be stored in one
SQL Server, they will need to have a unique name.  My problem is, everytime
I start to create a new report in Crystal report, it always asks me the
database to use.  Which should not be the case because if so, this will
require me to create a report with the same design, the same codes (or
tables) for each database in the server.  If this will be distributed in
different location, it will be hard for me to keep track of the database
name.
