I am not sure if this is a correct place to post this issue. Well, i have a small application developed using VB6, CR10 and SQL Server. The problem here is that my database design is such that it has been very difficult for me in reporting. I have designed the reports connecting to my sql server which becomes like the design has been hardcoded. If i change the name of the server, i have to change the connection property of the CR which is i believe not very friendly. Therefore, what i wanted to do is that i want to design CR without connecting to any datasource. I mean, i just want a blank CR and then define my own fields in the report which i will bind to my records in VB during runtime programetically . i have googled a lot but could not find any clue on this. So, can any of the experts give me a little insight on this issue?
