Crystal reports path

Author	Message
Tony Brow #1 / 3	Crystal reports path I have designed a report which uses a database in directory A. When the software installs it gets placed in program files/progname and the database is also installed there. When I try and run the report I get a "Can't open database message" as it thinks the db is still in directory A. The database is aa.mdb and the table I use for reporting is bb I have set the datafiles option using crystalreport1.datafiles(0) = App Path & "\aa.mdb" but it seems to take absolutely no notice whatsoever. Any idea what I am missing or is this a known problem. Email responses would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance Tony Brown Tony Brown Arete Software Limited Tel : +44 (0) 1344 867706 Fax : +44 (0) 1344 867714

Lee #2 / 3	Crystal reports path Hi ! I faced the same problem as you but most of them gave me the same solution as you mentioned, which seem like doesn't work !!! Some of them told me to set the database location 'same as report' at database property but my 'same as report' button always disabled ! How about yours ? Please let me know if you manage to find the solution. Thanks in advance.
