Hi

I'm using CR 8.5 and need to connect to a SQL Server Database on another server. Is it possible? If yes then how can I do it ?

Do you mean, change the database for an existing report? Use Database > Set Location

If you're trying to integrate data from two different databases, this can be done using subreports. Inefficient but sometimes unavoidable.

YOu should be able to ... ADD DATABASE and then select a new connection and database table.
