PASSING A CR2008 REPORT NAME TO CRVIEWER

Question

Please bear with me since I'm new to this part of VS2005/cr2008. I have created a form using vc2005 where i have the crViewer in the form. If I hard code a cr2008 report name in the the report souce area, when I run the form, the report gets displayed. However, what I need to do is to have this form accept a different cr2008 report file name each time. I took a look at your examples, but they all have the reportsource as hard coded...
is there away where I can create s skeleton vs2005 form that will accept and display a cr2008 report file ?? I was able to do this using visual foxpro and version 8.5 and version 10 but i can;'t geet it to work in vs2005...any comments greatly appreciated or of you can point me to some documentation about this wonderfull...thanks in advance...

i am currently using the evaluation copy of cr2008...and vb2005 to create the crviewer for the report.
this is my code...
Public Class Display_report
    Dim m_reportsource As String
    Private Sub CrystalReportViewer1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CrystalReportViewer1.Load
        '      m_reportsource = "c:\airs_crreports\client_agency_referral.rpt"
        MessageBox.Show(m_reportsource)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = m_reportsource
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    End Sub
    Private Sub reportDocument1_InitReport(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles reportDocument1.InitReport
    End Sub
    Private Sub reportDocument1_RefreshReport(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles reportDocument1.RefreshReport
    End Sub
End Class
hope this helps
