Most data sources can be chosen through the Database Expert
dialog box. The Database Expert appears when you create a
report from scratch using Blank Report, or when you choose
Database Expert from the Database menu.

Note: You also select a data source in the Report
Creation Wizards. The Data screen in all of the Report
Creation Wizards, except the OLAP Report Creation Wizard, is
much like the Database Expert dialog box.

To select a data source
Choose Database Expert from the Database menu.
The Database Expert dialog box appears.

Use the tree view in the Available Data Sources list of the
Data screen to select your data source:
Current Connections
Favorites
History
Create New Connection
Repository

Some popular choices in the Create New Connection folder are
described here:

Access/Excel (DAO),Database Files,ODBC (RDO),OLAP
OLE DB (ADO)

Note: The data source options available in the Create New
Connections folder depend on the data access components
selected during installation.

I had an Interview yesterday for a Crystal Reports Developer position. Some of these I have not done in my reporting experience and I had just a half day's notice for the interview, hence no prep time :-( 1) Is there a way to be able to change an image(company logo) dynamically in a report? Example if you have 100 reports, and with the market uncertainity if you anticipate that the company logo might change, how can you change the image just in one place and have this reflected in all teh reports at run time? 2) What is a SQL expression? 3) What are field expressions and what are the diff types? (I looked this up in the internet and never found anything with regards to types of field expressions) The interviewer really got me confused as I felt he was not clearly setting forth his questions but it could be that I was unable to understand his wording of the questions. I expect a big zero from his feedback but I am hoping this is an experience for future interviews that I face in crystal reports when I do get some more lined up. Thanks in advance!
