I want to point to a different server - Crystal XI

We moved an ODBC database from one server to another. I can't find anywhere that identifies the server my reports are pointing to. In Database Expert, add new connection, the only options I get are the same ones I previously had. Where, oh where, can I identify and change the server the database lives on?

Thanks,

Cathy
 
You need to go into Control Panel - Admin tools on your PC and add a new odbc connection.

When you have done that Crystal will be able to see it and connect.

You could change the existing ODBC connection to point to the new server location.

This way no reports need to be changed. All reports will use the ODBC connection to the new location.
