Crystal Reports & Visual Studio 2005 Pro

[MikeC14081972]

Have built a windows app with Embedded crystal reports, but when a user tries to open the report they are receiving an error message that the report can not be found.

The reports are in the project in VS in the solution explorer. My question is how do I find the path that the reports are installed on the client machine.

Many Thanks

If you're using embedded reports, then your setup will install into application directory. You would use something like this (C# example):

ReportsFolderPath = Application.StartupPath; // This is where your reports are

The other alternative is to store path to reports in App.Config file:

ReportsFolderPath =  ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ReportsDirectory"];
