We just got Crystal Reports Developer 10 and I'm just starting to get into
it. We have always just done our reports in FoxPro but needed more
functionality. I would like to be able to use Crystal with a dynamic
database location. I have looked at some stuff online and found that you
could get this to work with the COPY TO FOX2X. I was wondering if there is
any reason why this would be a bad idea. Will there be a performance
benefit by going with an ODBC? Is there a possible way to change my
database location in the ODBC with FoxPro if I would do it that way? I
would be OK with using the ODBC but would rather I use the FOX2X thing.

TIA
