 Crystal Report 8.5 and VB .net

Hey all,
I'm in need of some help! I've been trying to get this app past a certain
point, but I'm at a standstill!

Ok here's what i want to accomplish...
An app that will have a list of report Titles per Dept, and when a title is
selected and a button is clicked send the report to the viewer. now...i have
all of the titles and file locations to those titles in an MDB files. How
can i call a file location from an MDB field?
I can send reports to the viewers manually, with no problem, thats easy, but
it doesnt make for a mantainable app, if we add reports to our reports
library. So, i f i have an MDB with Dept > Titles > Location records, we can
add reports, and locations to the mdb and they will appear in the app. I
tried binding the listboxes to the fields in the mdb via ADO, but grouping
has become a problem since there are many reports per dept. so if i click on
lstDept "Audit", i want lstTitle to display all o fthe records pertaining to
"audit" dept field.

I also need to have abutton perform a "export to pdf as attachment"
function. if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Ive tried crystals website many many times, to no avail and ive tried a few
newsgroups with no luck as well. Any help would be appreciated, even a link
to get me started!

Thanks a million!

I am looking for a similar solution but need to support report parameters
and possibly reports with embedded subreports so far I have a generic
reportviewer that I inherit from for each report with the Datasource and
Parameters hardcoded. my report table has reportname and viewerinstanceName
instead of location

but i still need a method of adding new reports from an entry in the table?

Has anybody come up with a solution for hitting this moving target ?
