Hello everyone,
i have made a Crystal Report in my application, and i am populating the
contents of the report from a MS access database, therefore i have to
specify a path for the MS Access database...
Everything goes fine... but when i try to move the application to another
computer and continue to work on it, i have to change the path to the
correct path on another computer everytime...
Is there anyway the application itself will know where the database is kept?
(I always put the mdb file togetherwith the applicationin the same
directory)

Thanks,
Tony

Hello there,
I have tried your method but it gives me an error that says:
MyReportOcx.Database is read only...
therefore i can't assign teh path to the database into it via the code...
Is there anything missing?
Thanks
Tony

Hm, try with

MyReportOcx.DataFiles(0) = <path>

I probably gave you the wrong collection ;-)

Hi Tony, I use this code for me app

    With CrystalReport
        .ReportFileName = "C:\XXXXXX.rpt"
        .DataFiles(0) = dbPath 'This is the path of db Access Table (for
each dbtable in your report)
        .DataFiles(1) = dbPath
        .
        .
        .
        .DataFiles(X) = dbPath
        .CopiesToPrinter = 1
        .Destination = crptToPrinter
        .PrintReport
        If .LastErrorNumber <> 0 Then MsgBox "Errore n " &
.LastErrorNumber& ": " & .LastErrorString
    End with

Bye bye
