I can confirm that epicor wants us to switch from ODBC to adding table to
the current Report Data Definitions. This being said there are some reports
that will not accept the report linking and when you link in the new tables
some reports you can not modify. I then reminded them that we were told
that we should stop using ODBC and use the new methods, but received to
answer one way or the other on what is going to be done to fix this. A good
sample is that you can not bring the terms table into the ARInvoice.

Epicor recommends against using ODBC and there are many very valid reasons
for this recommendation.
There are detailed instructions for modifying the canned 8.03 reports in
AnswerBooks on MyEpicWeb.
