Can I change a datasource's properties at report execution time?

I will be running reports on a shared database server. The database server
supports one main application with many environments for different user
groups. Each groupsâ' data is kept in a different database instance.
I want to deploy my reports in a single location on the shared database
server to simplify installing reporting services and deploying reports.
When a user requests a on-demand report I want the report to pull the data
from the correct SQL Server instance.
Can I to change the reportâ's shared datasource â'Connection Stringâ' to the
userâ's database instance. I will be using SOAP to invoke the reports.
Are there other ways to accomplish my intentions?
I am using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Developer Edition with SP1 and
SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition with service packs 1, 2, 3, and 3a applied.Hi,
You may want to use 'SetReportDataSources' to switch between datasources.
More information about this method can be found from the MSDN site:
