Crystal Reports 13 VS2010 Report does not display new data

Question

The project is written in VS2010 connecting to an Access 2007 DB.  It is running on a local network.  All reports work fine from the standpoint that data is displayed on the reports HOWEVER, if a data table is updated the newley entered records do not show up on the report yet when I examine the database the records have been added to the table.
I hit refresh and the new records still do not appear.  I've closed out the session and re-started the software and the records do not appear.  It's almost as if the DB is 'frozen'.  Suggestions?

Hey Ludek,
Problem with that sample is it hits the MDB directly and not the ODBC DSN. The Jet engine is being deprecated by MS so the solution is to use ODBC or OLE DB to any version of Access.
I've posted this multiple times but here it is again:
Try using the replace connection method to update the location of the DSN:
private void ReplaceConnection_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
rcd = rptClientDoc;
rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("dwcb12003", "xtreme", "sb", "pw");
//Create the logon propertybag for the connection we wish to use
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag logonDetails = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag();
logonDetails.Add("Auto Translate", -1);
logonDetails.Add("Connect Timeout", 15);
logonDetails.Add("Data Source", "dwcb12003");
logonDetails.Add("General Timeout", 0);
logonDetails.Add("Initial Catalog", "Orders");
logonDetails.Add("Integrated Security", "True");
logonDetails.Add("Locale Identifier", 1033);
logonDetails.Add("OLE DB Services", -5);
logonDetails.Add("Provider", "SQLOLEDB");
logonDetails.Add("Use Encryption for Data", 0);
logonDetails.Add("Owner", "dbo"); // schema
//Create the QE (query engine) propertybag with the provider details and logon property bag.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag QE_Details = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag();
QE_Details.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
QE_Details.Add("QE_DatabaseName", "Orders");
QE_Details.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
QE_Details.Add("QE_LogonProperties", logonDetails);
QE_Details.Add("QE_ServerDescription", "dwcb12003");
QE_Details.Add("QE_SQLDB", "True");
QE_Details.Add("SSO Enabled", "False");
QE_Details.Add("Owner", "dbo");
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo newConnInfo = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo oldConnInfo;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfos oldConnInfos;
oldConnInfos = rcd.DatabaseController.GetConnectionInfos(null);
for (int I = 0; I < oldConnInfos.Count; I++)
oldConnInfo = oldConnInfos;
newConnInfo.Attributes = QE_Details;
newConnInfo.Kind = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
rcd.DatabaseController.ReplaceConnection(oldConnInfo, newConnInfo, null, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrDBOptionsEnum.crDBOptionDoNotVerifyDB);
See if that works for you. You'll have to change the info to ODBC from OLE DB. You can get the info from an app also, Ludek has a link to it, it will generate code to use RAS to set log on info...
