Renamed MDB file Won't Connect to CR

To somewhat disguise the MS Access backend of my VB app, I changed the "MDB" extension to "DAT." Crystal Reports 7 will not open my database file with the DAT extension, but if I rename the extension back to MDB, it works fine. The CR knowledge base (C2007870) shows what needs to be done for CR8, but that method does not work with CR7. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thank you for your help!
