Crystal Report Distribution - Newbie

I am a newbie at this and I have gotten myself very confused, someone please HELP!

I have V10 Pro installed and I have been teaching myself how to create report using it's features. I do not seem to have Crystal Enterprise so all of the repository features are not available.

I have been tasked to build reports that will be distributed to others within my company either as stand alone files or viewable with Internet Explorer. I need to have drill down and parameter capabilities at the users end but none of my users have any Crystal Products. How do I go about doing this?

Eventually, I will be building VFP applications that will run these reports and distribute them to my users.

The vast number of products offered by Business Objects for Crystal makes it a little confusing on a first time user. Will it be possible for me to make and distribute reports to my users without having them install any Crystal products or without me having Crystal Enterprise? I was thinking it would work something like creating a PDF and the end user viewing it with a free Adobe Reader...I actually located Crystal Enterprise 9 on my network, however, I am unable to connect to it, I get a CMS not on PORT 6400 error. Will this work with Crystal Reports 10 Pro? What do I need to do to connect to it?|||See if you find solution at support section of this site

Crystal 8.5 Cant Change Database Path in Code

Hi everyone,

I have used Crystal for about 7 years, and have never had this problem before. I am using Crystal 8.5 Developer, on WinXP Pro, with Delphi4 and using an Advatage database, I am trying to change the data location in code
eg: frmMain.crpe.Tables[inTbNo].Path := stDBPath; // this has worked for years.

I have also tried hard coding just to test it:
frmMain.crpe.Tables[0].Path := '\\Server\Server\Gigasoft\dbStockOrderBeta';
frmMain.crpe.Tables.Propagate := True;
// this still does not work

I have formatted the machine and reloaded only the bare minimum of software just incase there was some conflict, still no luck.

I have permanent tables in 1 folder and temp tables in another, the reports only use 1 or the other not both.

The reports that use the permanent tables are the ones causing the problem.

The reports using the temp tables seem to work OK, as they are constantly changing location to the temp locations depending on the user who is logged in.

I hope someome has had this problem and solved it before.

Thanks in Advance for any help
Daryl...What is the error you get?
Check the path is shared and accessible|||There is no error msg, it just doesn't change the database path at all. The path is accessible by crystal because data for the temp table reports are in a folder 1 below the main folder and most of the time they seem to work.

Thanks
Daryl...
