I have moved the Pervasive database that I run Crystal reports from to another server. The old server was bznas1 with Win2k server, ip address 10.10.0.50, the server DSN called MAXDAT. The new server is ILXAS1 with Win2003 server, ip address 10.10.0.51, the server DSN is called MAXDAT. So, I then went around to the client machines and changed the client system DSN to point to the new server by changing the IP address in the DSN configuration. This tested fine, the application can connect to the new server fine. My question is, why does Crystal require that I go in and change run set data location again? Before I made the DSN change the database was listed as MAXDAT, now it is listed as MAXDAT0. I really don't want to go and have to set the location on all my reports. Does anyone know a way to get around this.

Thanks
