>I have designed an application that can use either local tables or SQL Server. I am using Crystal Reports for the reporting. I have 2 ODBC DSNs, one pointing to the local tables in the DBC and one pointing to the SQL Server database. I just rename them when I want to switch to the other data.

It appears that Crystal formats it's query syntax differently depending on the source of the data, especially when joins are involved. When I switch to the other DSN, the reports no longer work.

Do the query in VFP code and save the result to a FOX2X table. Crystal can read that file just fine without ODBC.
