How can i use crystal report

hi all,

I did my report in my laptop and i use to copy those report in client machine when the new .exe is installing. the path of the both systems(client and laptop) are different. but i mentioned app.path \reportname in the vb code. to call the report. but what happens is whenever i copy the crystal report file. if i try to open in the print preview mode. it will display the error "Unable to open database". what i did is, i remove the database from report and again connected the table to report and drag the respective fields. after that it will work fine.

but am sure that i am doing something wrong here. can anybody guide me properly please.

It could be losing the connection information during the copy. Maybe try a formal installation program.

Is the report in the same place on both machines? Did you look on the forums (Search), there are examples of setting the Database location for a Crystal Report at runtime.
