hey man,

just create the keys for using the below code. you just change the ServerName key value where the database is located.

code is below,

strServer= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ServerName"].ToString();
strDatabase= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DataBaseName"].ToString();
strUserID= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserId"].ToString();
strPwd= ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"].ToString();

report.DataSourceConnections[0].SetConnection(strServer, strDatabase, strUserID, strPwd);

please let me know if you have any doubt

Crystal Reports doesn't play nicely when you change servers... you need to implement some code that takes your crystal report, changes the database, login, server name etc, then opens the report (at run time).

This article gives you the basics on it: Changing Crystal Report Database logon information at runtime in VS2005[^]

Alternatively, google Crystal Reports change login at runtime.
