Hi, I`m using `.csv` text files as my datasource in a Crystal Report. I`m already using a alias for the name of the database in my report so that I can change the source
files easily.

So lets call the alias DATA_SOURCE.csv an I can change the files from which the data is extracted using Database->Set Location...->Table : "real_name.csv"

Its pretty easy that way, but I`d like to be prompt for the destination file ("real_name.csv") when I refresh my report. This so that people using my report wouldn`t
have to to the steps to change the location...

Is there a way to do that? Using parameters or something like that?

Thanks!

Simon
