We recently converted to Crystal Reports 9 (from 8.5) and I updated over 100 reports using SQL Commands. This was not terribly difficult work but it was time consuming. We run our reports through a Delphi application that we use to change the SQL of the report at runtime, allowing our users to select certain parameters, append selection criteria to the SQL clause, etc. When we were unable to run our reports through our application, we were told by Crystal support that updating the SQL of a report that utilizes an SQL Command is impossible. We were told this was an 'undocumented limitation'.
Has anyone had a similar experience and could confirm or deny this to be absolute? We are using the RDC and are able to read the SQL, but have been unable to modify it. Suggestions??
