Where are the files that store the reports? I'm migrating my database from one computer to another and I've got the database moved over correctly, but the report settings are still defaulted.

The report settings are stored in the database specific to the computer name.

If you switch to a different computer with a different name you will need to reset the report settings from the defaults.

Ah, bummer. That'll be a lot of work.

The only way around this would be to directly edit the records in the WorkstationConfiguration table by doing the following.
1.  Delete the record with ComputerName set to the name of the new computer.
2.  Change the ComputerName field with the old computer name to the new computer name.
Of course you shouldn't really be doing this.
Software users shouldn't really be allowed to directly edit the data in the database.

Thanks! That workaround worked great. Some days I'm glad to be a programmer :)
