Modify existing .rpt file permanently

[Former Member]

Hello,

I need to modify an existing rpt template not at runtime but permanently in order to create a new template.

Could you tell me how to do that?

Thanks.

Hello

I am using RAS SDK and my rpt files have been created with Crystal Report 9.

I have similar problem than in the folowing post:

I can see my modifications at runtime, but the saveAs() method does not save modifications in my new template.

What should I do to save my modification permanently?

Thanks

Which modification - database username or password?

RAS 9's been out of support for a while now - I personally haven't touched it in years, so I don't remember if there were any issues with it.

I need to modify table name.

The new .rpt template has to be configured with different table names. But the database does not change.

Thanks.

Don't have a RAS 9 to test with anymore.

Since the changes stick during view time, what if you export to rpt rather than saveAs? Does the exported rpt have the changes?

Hi,

I don't know why, but code found in Thread:" .net Ras 9 MYSQL odbc" did not work for me.

I tried something different.

I used example from your website: CE10EE_SimpleSetTableLocationODBC.zip.

Now it works with saveAs method. Modifications are saved in a new file.

Many Thanks!
