    Looks like your running this from Access VBA module? If so then you can pass the report as a parameter two ways.
    VB Code:
    1. Shell "c:\crystal reports\cr32.exe C:\MyReport.rpt"
    2. 'Or
    3. ShellExecute Application.hWndAccessApp, "Open", "c:\crystal reports\cr32.exe", "C:\MyReport.rpt", "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
