Change ODBC DatabaseName but it does not change in CRXI R2

I am sitting with a problem where I have my Test Database (BusinessTest) and my Live Database(Business) on the same server. Now the reports was created before i started at the company and they are all showing the Business.TableName if i go to "View SQL Query".
Now i have to do enhancements on the Report and i would like to first use the BusinessTest Database. My problem is that i can not get the "View SQL Query" to show the BusinessTest.TableName no matter what i do.
The setup is as follow
I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 (SP 4).
I connect to the MySQL database using the MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
It connects to the Business database (Live)
When i change the ODBC driver it does not change in the "View SQL Query" it still refers to the Business Database.
I also verified the database and still it only looks back to the live one.
I created a new ODBC and made it look to the BusinessTest database and then updated the Datasource Location under the "Set Datasource Location" then verified the database again and still it looks at the Business(Live) database.
What exactly am i missing? Why can i not get to change the datasource location?
Hope Someone can help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Changing the DSN properties does not update the report DB connection info and not recommended to do so. You also need to Set Location using the Database drop down menu option.
Try this: Open up the ODBC Administrator and in the System DSN's change your original DSN back to the test server. Now create a new DSN and point it to the new Server. Open up Crystal Reports Designer, load the report, click on Database menu, Set Location and browse to your new DSN. Clcik on the Update button when you have the old DSN in the report high lighted and then click on the new DSN you just connected to and click the Update button.
Now from the Database drop down menu click on Verify database. You should now be able to run the report and then show SQL to see the new data.
Thank you
Don
