Are you connecting via ODBC using a DSN? Ken Hamady

If you are using an ODBC driver (which sounds likely), you will have to change the database location through ODBC admin, which is buried somewhere in your Windows Start|Settings menu (exactly where depends on your version of Windows).
Alternatively, you can change the database driver from ODBC to an Access driver, in Database|Convert Database Driver. You will then be able to change the database location from within Crystal Reports on any old whim. Malcolm Wynden

I'm not connecting via ODBC at all. When I created report in CR6 i selected Datafile in Report Expert and then chose my .mdb database. If needed to change location I went to Set Location and selected a different drive and directory - it had nothing to do with ODBC.
Now in CR8.5 it seems that ican not do that. Is that right?
Thanks for your help.

Datafiles in V6 is now under "Database", in the group marked "Database Files" just below the ODBC category. Ken Hamady

Thanks I got it.
Also could you help out with this problem?
I had an Application that ran, previewed and printed report from VB.
Now i'm upgrading to version 8.5 and I can not find half of the properties that
were given with Crystal report component such as Action or all properties
that were used for Print Preview.
Is there a way to run and preview report without using CRViewer?
If not what code do i use to run report?
Thank you
