Crystal Reports, select access database at runtime

Hi,

I'm trying to use Crystal Reports to generate reports from an Access
database.
I'm using VS2003 and C#. I need to select the database the report uses
as data source at runtime. The database does not have any password
protection.

I've tried using ODBC connections, but all I get is logon errors. It
seems that I should be able to pass a connection string in
table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, but trying that results in
an "incorrect log on parameters" -error.

I could use DAO connections, and I found some documentation that
mentioned changing the report.Database.Tables[n].Location -property,
but all I get is a "The Report Application Server failed" -error.

I'm getting desperate. If anyone has example code that works, or any
suggestions, I would be very grateful.
