Crystal 9 Set Location

[HowardHammerman]

In Crystal 8/8.5, the 'Set Location' option in the Database menu allowed the user to edit the 'Table:' under the Location settings. For a SQL database, Crystal 8/8.5 defaults to a 'table' with the following convention: database_name.owner_name.table_name. Due to the way my client's reports work in our application, he cannot have the database_name indicated, so he would delete it. This was easy to edit in Crystal 8/8.5, but we cannot figure out how this is done in Crystal 9. Can anyone point us in the right direction? This must be an issue for anyone using a SQL database. If it helps, he uses the RDC method.

Have not found how to remove it but am able to change it in code as in

I will be watching closely for a solution. I also need just a table name for SQL DB.
