Data Source

Post by Jimmy_Chiu_(Guest) » Thu Jan 17, 2002 8:14 pm

Has anyone successfully used the function SetDatasource to override a report^s data source with a new one from within an application? I can^t seem to get it to work if the new data source is a system data source. It works if the new one is a user data source. I want to use a sysem data source so it applys to all user logging into the machine. Thanks.__

What version are you using?__I just tested this in Version 9 and was successfully able to override a saved machine datasource with a system datasource at runtime.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I am running version 9. I believe a machine datasource is a system datasource. Unfortunately, when I created my reports I created and used a user datasource. Is there a way I can remove or changed the datasource associated with a report from the report designer? Thanks.__
