Changing a Data Source in a Report

To change a data source for a report:
  1. On the Data tab, click action icon and then select Change Data Source. The Change Data Source window is displayed.
  2. In the Change Data Source window, select a data source.
    Change Data Source Window
    Change Data Source Window
  3. Click Change.
    If a data item with the same name does not exist in the replacement data source, then it is automatically removed from the replacement data source if there are no report objects that use the data item. If there are report objects that use the data item, then those report objects will not work. The Repair Report window is displayed so that you can repair the objects that use the data item. For more information about repairing reports, see Repairing Reports.
    Data items in the replacement data source that have names that do not exist in the original data source are added to the Data tab automatically.
    Note: For data item names, the case is ignored when data sources are compared by the designer.
