Crystal Reports in .Net

R

Robert Boudra

I'm coming from VB 6 where I use the Crystal Reports Automation engine for
most of my reporting work. I've developed a small vb.net application that
uses a couple of Crystal Reports to display data from an adodb data source
(Access 2000 database). However, I haven't been able to come up with a way
to reset the location of the database that is accessed by the report file at
run time if the database is moved. I would also like to be able to run a
SQL statement against the data source to further limit the records returned.
These were all things that were relatively simple to do with the automation
engine, and I'm sure that there must be a way to do it here, but I'm not
finding it. Any help would be appreciated.
