Is it possible to set the location of the database by passing it into the report exe as a parameter?
 
I assume you are talking about compiled reports.
You cannot pass a connection parameter to a compiled report. Ken Hamady

Are you using an external programming language to prime the report ? For instance I'm using Delphi 5 to set up Crystal Reports pointing the report objects to the appropriate SQL server and database (according to where the application is run from). If this is the case indicate the database you're runnning the reports against and I might be able to point you in the right direction .....
