Unable to overwrite the ODBC connection in runtime

Question

Hi,
I have a VS2008 application which is using CR2008. Problem is I am not able to change the ODBC connection in runtime to any server other than the one that was used to create the report
We are using infoobject model to retrive the report form CMC.
Couple of thing I tried.
First One:
ConnectionInfo objConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
               objConnectionInfo.ServerName = "Server Name";
               objConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Database Name";
               objConnectionInfo.UserID = "UserID";
               objConnectionInfo.Password = "Pwd
               objConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
               objConnectionInfo.AllowCustomConnection = true;
               TableLogOnInfos objTableLogOnInfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
               TableLogOnInfo objTableLogOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
               objTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = objConnectionInfo;
               objTableLogOnInfos.Add(objTableLogOnInfo);
                Crv.LogOnInfo = objTableLogOnInfos;
Second One:
                    ReportLogons logns = ceReport.ReportLogons;
                    ReportLogon logn = logns[1];
                    logn.UseOriginalDataSource = false;
                    logn.CustomServerName = "ServerName";
                    logn.CustomDatabaseName = "Database Name";
                    logn.CustomUserName = "Userid";
                    logn.CustomPassword = "Pwd";
Above methods I tries but I am unable to change my connection string,Some one please advise on this.

Make sure you have SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Try one of our sample apps:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
recommend vbnet_win_dbengine
Do this with a report that has no subreports 1st.
In your code samples, you are trying to use integrated security in one, not in the other. Is the report designed with Integrated security or not? Re. integrated security, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b021e47e-be1d-2b10-c6b2-efa9db3abd6b] article.
