Most data sources can be chosen through the Database Expert
dialog box. The Database Expert appears when you create a
report from scratch using Blank Report, or when you choose
Database Expert from the Database menu.
Note: You also select a data source in the Report
Creation Wizards. The Data screen in all of the Report
Creation Wizards, except the OLAP Report Creation Wizard, is
much like the Database Expert dialog box.
To select a data source
Choose Database Expert from the Database menu.
The Database Expert dialog box appears.
Use the tree view in the Available Data Sources list of the
Data screen to select your data source:
Current Connections
Favorites
History
Create New Connection
Repository

described here:
Access/Excel (DAO),Database Files,ODBC (RDO),OLAP
OLE DB (ADO)
Note: The data source options available in the Create New
Connections folder depend on the data access components
selected during installation.
