Crystal Report setup

I have a VB application using VS 2005. Through "Add New Item", I've added a
crystal rpt file, which is then located in my development directory (W:). End
users don't have access to this folder. I want the reports to reside in the
run-time folder (R:) which the users have access. Also, I don't want to embed
the reports, so the VB application uses the rpt.load(filename) command when
the user selects a report.

My problem is - is there anyway to add the reports without them going to the
development folder? The "Full Path" property is greyed out in the reports
property, so I can't change it from W: to R:.

How can I achieve what I want? Is there a better way to distribute rpt files
on the network so the users have access, but also give me the ability to
modify them in VS with the Designer?

Thanks,

Tom
