Smile Crystal Reports 8.5 Left Outer Join Question

I am trying to change my table linking from one-to-one to a left outer join, however the choice areas are greyed out. In a previous thread I found the following help:

You need to chance each of the join types from an "inner join" to a "Left Outer Join".

This can be done via The Database Expert, Links tab (Available as the first option under the 'Database' menu item).

Edit: If the radio buttons are greyed out, deselect the option to 'Return All Rows Before Joining'.

Unfortunately, I must be blind because I cannot find this option. Can anyone help me locate how to allow me to change the joins in a report when the join options are greyed out? Thank you so much!!

Robert's suggestion is specifically for Crystal XI. It is not available in Crystal 8.5.

Thank you Drew! I suspected that was the issue, but was hoping someone might remember 8.5 and have an idea for me to try. Appreciate your quick response.
