VB6 and CR8 Changing datasource at runtime 1

[sasi3dev]

Hi

I'm New to Crystal and VB and it shows.

I am looking for a way to let a user input the drive, directory, and file they want to do a report against. The files will always be dbase files.

I can collect this information in a string in VB.

How in VB do I change the datasource for Crystal ?

Thanks

sasi3Dev.
