oh, and one other thing, does the CRPE32.dll, ie the Delphi component for running CRW reports expose a property to allow you to update the datafile location for your reports on the fly?? The component has an extensive list of methods, i &quot;think i remember&quot; seeing this one..

With Delphi I use always aliases from the BDE. &nbsp;By doing so it is possible to simple changes the places (ex. on a other computer) of the database files in the BDE (alias) and the Delphi application will work correct. &nbsp;The reports I use (written in Crystal Reports 7) are pointing directly to the database files. &nbsp;So when I change the location of the files in the BDE alias, Delphi will work correct, CR7 is stil using the wrong (old location) files.<br />
<br />
How can I make CR7 using the BDE and his aliases?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Dirk.
