Delete datasources in History folder?

[ellet]

Does anyone know if there is a way to delete (or at least rename) a datasource listed in the History folder of the "Set Datasource Location" window? I'm wondering if a reinstall is the only option to get the list cleared?

Thanks!

After poking around in the registry (Win 2000 Server / CR 10), I found something that pointed me to "\My Documents\History\DataSource0.xml" (I also had DataSource1-5.xml - one for each entry under 'History'). I deleted them, and no longer had anything under History. It looks like you could try editing one of these as well, but when I tried it, it just didn't show up at all anymore.

You might want to be careful if you try this, as I have no idea what other ramifications there may be, and I've been known to be a bit reckless.

Thanks! I'm all for being a bit reckless. I'll try it on a test box first.

Let me know if it works out.

Dave, sorry it's been so long. I wanted to let you know that we actually needed to upgrade Crystal Reports, so the History folder was cleared out by that process.

Thanks for your help, though!!
