Hello
The only work around that I have found to work was to change your connection string (I use Access as a database):
Instead of -
Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _
Application.StartupPath & "\Database.mdb"
I had to use -
Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _
"C:\Database Folder\Database.mdb"
You will manually place the database in a folder labeled Database Folder (or whatever) on the C Drive.
This allows both your application and Crystal Report to have access to the database. You will then have to go back to Crystal Reports/Database/Set Datasource Location then choose "C:\Database Folder\Database.mdb". This will allow your CR to access your database and changes in the database will be viewed immediately in the CR while the application is running.
Hope this helps
