How to select the server when the ServerName field is disabled?

Question

I am trying to run the tutorial "VB_Win_CRVObjMod_DBLogon".  All references to the solution to the ENXP-50701E  server have been removed. I have put this into the code:
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind"
        myConnectionInfo.UserID = "creports"
        myConnectionInfo.Password = "creports"
        myConnectionInfo.ServerName = "BILLPC-64\SQLEXPRESS"
        Dim reportPath As String = "C:\CR\crsdk_net_tutorials_115_en\crsdk_net_tutorials_115_en\DotNet2\VB_Win_Data_DataSets\VB_Win_Data_DataSets\NorthwindCustomers.rpt"
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
        SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo)
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ConfigureCrystalReports()
    End Sub
    Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo)
        Dim myTableLogOnInfos As TableLogOnInfos = myCrystalReportViewer.LogOnInfo
        For Each myTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo In myTableLogOnInfos
            myTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
        Next
    End Sub
Still when I run the project I get the request to login to ENXP-50701E and the server name can not be changed. How do I get it to run with my server?

A good solution - as long as the dataset is not longer than 2,000 or so records, there is one table (preferably one table as more than one table will cause performance hits) and so on.
For table location code see this thread:
Need assistance with SetDatabaseLogon
Also see the sample app vbnet_win_dbengine.zip from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
The above is for the CR engine. InProc RAS will also do the trick for you.
