Crystal Report bases of excel file question

I added a crystal report item to my vb.net project and used to wizard to
create a report of an Excel file. I also have a reportviewer on my form and
am able to view the report just fine. What I can't figure out is how to
change which Excel file the report is linked to on the fly from my program.
Can anyone help me with this? I present user a list of Excel files to choose
from. They all have the same format but different rows of data. Shouldn't I
be able to tell the report which excel file to use? All the examples that I
can find are based of ADO datasets connected to the reports.

Thanks!

Hi all, I need some help -- I'm working with an A2K database, using DAO, and am trying to read records into a Crystal Report and then export it to a folder on our network as an Excel spreadsheet.

I've gotten this code to correctly save .rpt files without any data, but not with data, nor have I been...

Hello all, I have created an ASP.NET website that uses Crystal Reports that works on the localhost (my PC), but when I copy it to the server it does not. The problem is ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = False. On my PC when exporting a report, it works - columns are varible width to fit the field, from the server it does not - I get constant width columns. I suspect it is a DLL issue, but so far all my comparisons are coming out the same.

Hi, Just wondering what a good book is on visual studios 2008 ( or 2005 if no 2008 ) that teaches you how to properly use crystal reports with it. Or im assuming that as long as I can create a dataset and link it to a reportviewer than any Crystal Report book will do. I use vb.net but im assuming most books would show you vb and c

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
