#### Using the Verify Database process

When you choose Verify Database from the Database menu, the program checks the active databases and reports whether it detected any changes. If it detects changes, the report must be adapted to prevent errors. If you click Yes, the program attempts to adapt the report to the new database structure.

The program displays the Map Fields dialog box when it detects either of these types of changes to the database:

- the name of a database field that is used in the report has changed
- the database has been upsized from a PC data source to an SQL data source.

For a tutorial on the Map Fields dialog box, see Remapping altered database fields. Seagate Crystal Reports automatically adapts the report (and does not display the Map Fields dialog box) if it detects any of these changes:

- fields have been added to the database
- fields that are not used in the report have been deleted from the database
- field positions have changed in the database
- data types have changed for fields in the database.
