Web Reporting problem with MS access document

[ziggs]

I'm using Crystal Reports 8 and I have a MS Access document on a Windows NT network drive. Now, I wrote out a a report that accesses the MS Access Database and it works fine from my computer. However, when I place the report in the folder I use for web reporting, it will open the reoprt but not connect to the MS Access DB. The MS Access DB does not have a username or password. I'm stumped! Any ideas? Thanks

Do you get an error?
Does the report use ODBC?
Does the web client have permssion to read the NT folder that stores the report?

1. Here's the error message word for word (test being name of CR and crystal being the name of the web folder that contains the crystal reports):

Error in test.rpt:
Unable to connect: incorrect table location.test.rpt [connecting to Page Server: crystal]

2. To create the connection in CR8, I attached the database using the database explorer, going to database files folder, and then use the find database file to navigate to proper MS access DB.

3. Yes, the person that runs this report does have permission to the NT folder

Thanks for your response

Please cancel this request. Although I didn't find the answer when I first tried, I was able to find the answer on Seagate's Kbase this time.
