Change Location of Database at Runtime for Report based on a Command

Question

Post Author: srr
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am using Crystal Reports Developer XI 11.5.8.826 - My database is MS Access 2003
I have created a report definition that is based on a query of multiple tables in the database, which is saved in Crystal Reports as a Command.
The report runs fine inside the Crystal Reports report designer.
I have a VB.NET 2.0 Windows Form application that contains a CrystalReportViewer control. I need to be able to set the location of the database at runtime. When I try to set the Table Location property to a different location than the design time location at runtime I get the login screen and no matter what I enter in the login screen I get a Login Failed error.
How do I set the DB location at runtime, when the report is based on a command?

Hi,
When you run the Interactive Report, go to Actions drop down:
Actions->Format->Highlight
Name: (Give a name to the highlight operation)
Sequence: (The sequence in which multiple highlights should work)
Enabled: (Enabled/Disabled)
Highlight Type: (Row/Cell)
Background Color: (Background Color you want to set)
Text Color: (Text Color you want to set)
Highlight Condition:
1) Column: (Column on whose value you want to set the highlight)
2) Operator: (use appropriate operator)
3) Expression: (Value on which the highlight should appear)
Hope it helps!
