How Can Build Crystal Report with Setup File of Vb.Net

[geoamins]

the below code accessing the report from the given IP Address... initailly i was facing problem during loading business report from the client computer because the i was used this code
Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument
cryRpt.Load("D:\Reports\PTC_1.rpt")
on server the above code doing best work because the path is identifing. but from client didn't identify the path.. then i share the folder Reports with readOnly rights so my problem solve because client computer also identify the given path on LAN.
Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument
cryRpt.Load("\\192.168.3.36\Reports\PTC_1.rpt")

But is there any other best way that no need to specify the path and automatically load the reports like loading Forms. anywhere when create a setup file of application and install in client computer

don't forget to set your prerequisite on project properties before you build your project and try this code below:

Imports System.Data.OleDb

Public Class Form1

Dim rpt As New CrystalReport1
Dim rpt1 As New CrystalReport2

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim path1 As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath '' path
'' for normal ADO Concept
'' The current DataSource is an ADO.
Try
'' change path of the database
rpt.DataSourceConnections.Item(0). _
SetConnection("", "" & path1 & "\Xtreme.mdb", False)
'' if password is given then give the password
'' if not give it will ask at runtime
rpt.DataSourceConnections.Item(0).SetLogon("admin", "admin")
cr.ReportSource = rpt '' assign the report to the crytal reprot viewr (cr)
Catch exp As CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EnterpriseLogonException
MsgBox(exp.Message)
End Try

Try

End Sub
