QUESTION:
I don't seem to find where to change the location of the files in my report to be the same as the report. Where is that option in Crystal 10?

ANSWER:
That is a hidden option in Crystal 10.

- Select Database | Set Datasource Location
- In 'Current Data Source', expand the Properties branch of the tree
- Highlight 'Data File:' and right-click on it -- a floating menu with 3 options will be displayed: 'Edit', 'Same as Report' and 'Covert to UNC'.
- Select 'Same as Report' BUT make sure you remove the '.\' that Crystal adds to the name of the file, otherwise you will have problems running the report from Visual DataFlex.
