Overriding all database location properties

To override all database location properties that were originally set in the Crystal Reports designer, use

dbOverride=x

where x specifies the numbered set of Connection, Database, Username, and Password entries defined in Settings.

For example, it may be convenient to design reports using a development database and then run the same report pulling from a production database. The databases must have the same table structure.

*Use dbOverride only when it is necessary to override all database location properties at runtime. Any mistakes in the database settings may cause the report to fail. Using dbLogin is preferable when only the username and/or password must be set.
