When I run a report using the activex control, the data paths that were save with the report always take precedence over the settings I specify in the activex control. What is the correct way to override this behavior.____The direcotry structure that i have is as follows____c:dbfs__c:dbfsarchive____c: eports____The reports were created and save using the data in c:dbfs. I need to be able to run the reports against the data in c:dbfsarchive.____Thanks____Rolando Marino

If the data still exists in the saved directory, then the DataDirectory property is not used.__Instead you need to use the MasterTable,MasterIndex and RelatedTables properties to override each file that is used in the report.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Sorry, did not see this when I posted my ditto...__Too bad one cannot keep reports in one folder and call them from various data folders. ____Overwriting the master and linking tables at runtime is not practical.____Keeping 2 (or more) sets of reports seems to be the way to go.____-Jeannie____

ditto this question!____I tried /D and /R. OLH states /D looks for data when not found within directory saved with that report. Where is this directory stored?____-Jeannie____

It is stored internally in the report file.____Kathleen__R&R Support
