Question : Crystal report

I am a newbie to crystal report. Tried to search for the answer from website or book but does not solve my problem. Hope the experts here will help.
I am using Crystal report version 9.
I am doing a window application that handle Patients and their records using vb.net.
Patients particular (name nric…) are stored in a sql database. Here I mostly use data binding to update, stored, create new or delete patients particular. In addition they need to fill in 6 questionaires form.(A to F).
What I want to achieve is after clicking a button (Generate Report). It will generate all the report of the 6 forms. It will go to a window form (where maybe have 6 buttons for the user to view the individual reports) after click on different button.
Right now I am able to display a report using CrystalReportViewer.
I follow the steps from a website
In the “Crystal Reports gallery”
I select the “As a blank report”  (the other option is “Using the report wizard”)
Next create new connection select “OLE DB (ADO)”
Select “Microsoft OLE DB provider for sql server”
With the new connection I select the table from the database and will be able to view the report that I created.
But this only show a report that was created earlier. If I update my database the report is not updated. How to make the report and database update each other.  
Thank you davelye

Answer : Crystal report

Another option
Open the report
Click FILE
Uncheck SAVE DATA WITH REPORT
Save the report

To avoid this with new reports
Open Crystal - no report open
Click FILE--> OPTIONS
Uncheck the setting for SAVE DATA WITH REPORT
Close Crystal

All new reports will now inherit that setting.
