I have developed a report in v9.0. The report initially used a different table, say tableA. I changed the datasource location and pointed to to tablB. However in the 'Field Explorer' window I still see tableA. In version 8.5, it used to automatically change and we could also alias the table name but in v9.0 I don't see that option. My question is why Crystal is still showing old table name and how can this be corrected? The report is displaying data of tableB correctly but displaying tablA might confuse other developers.
thanks in advance.
 
Open th database expert (Database->Database Expert) and select the table in the right hand side and hit F2 to rename it.

Or you can right click it and select Rename.

It's a great idea to do this for the sake of the next developer, I wish everyone would be so considerate.
