Changing database for a group of report templates 1

[mchoss]

CR 8.5
Windows XP
SQL Server 2000

I have been given over 40 *.rpt files created on another machine against another database. Is there a quick and easy way that i can set the datasource for all of these to my database in one fell swoop?

Currently i am having to open each individually and change the datalink properties. Please tell me there is a quicker way.

It seems the reports are just tied directly to the database, they are not using any external links like ODBC as far as i am aware.

thanks in advance

You can also write code and use the RDC to do this.
