Hi

I am using CR10, setting XML as datasource.

I would like to know is it possible for me to set the XML file name as dynamic? Meaning that the system that going to integrate with my report will generate data into XML file with a numbering. Eg: deliveryorder_001.xml, deliveryorder_002.xml...

Forgive me that I only know to set the datasource as a fix XML file name. Hope you can understand my question here.

Thank you for helping.
 
There are 3rd-party viewers with dynamic data source functionality so you can develop such functionality but the simplest approach it to include logic in your other system to always make a copy of the desired desired XML file to a fixed name and location.
