I've created a report that uses a SQL query for the datasource (created the query thru Crystal SQL Designer). Made a change to the query to bring in different data. When I go to Set Datasource Location, the whole program freezes. I log off the server, go to Set Datasource Location, highlight the current datasource, navigate to the new one under Create New Connection, then click Update. That's where it freezes. Am I doing something wrong? NOTE: The SQL database I'm querying is about 720MB...could this have anything to do with it?
 
A 720MB database isn't very large, my current database is 8 gig.

I always suggest that developers not use Crystal's SQL Designer, especially if you have CR 9, since it now supports real SQL.

If you just changed the SQL Query, you shouldn't need to set location, just use Database->Verify Database.
