How to deploy Crystal Report ?

[slishnevsky]

Hi,

I have Crystal Report with 2 input parameters.
In Development environment I used Development SQL Server to connect to
in order to created the report.
When I run Preview within VS 2005 environment - everything is fine.
How can I move this report to Production?
It still connects to Development SQL Server (seems like the connection
got embedded within the report).
I have Production Connection String in App.config. But How can I use
them?
All properties of the Report object seemed to be read only.

PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

You can create a deployment project. This will package for you the
installer that deploys crystal reports and all its requirements, and then
your application

Thanks, but I can't change deployment procedures in the company.
Besides, it's not that simple as I suspect.
Some merging modules or whatever need to be downloaded for some
reason.
Too messy, too complicated.
