    Crystal Help: Reports are linked to an old .mdb file

    I started playing with Crystal reports for the first time yesterday. I made some modifications to the M.V. shipping report

    to make it look more like the form our company is accustomed to using. I wanted to preview this data so I set the current database connection to a recent job's "OverdrivePro.mdb" file located under it's "Manufacturing Data" folder. Everything went smooth and I finished my editing. Then I tested the report on a new job to make sure the information would be populated correctly. NOPE! All the infomation was the same information that came from the data source I set up while working in crystal. I know this sounds pretty stupid to expect differently......but I thought the report would look at the closest "overdrivepro.mdb" to it for the information. How do I set that up? What does my data connection need to be so that my report will be populated with information from the folder it is located in?

    Never mind.........

    I figured it out.......

    I created a new connection and just typed "Overdrivepro.mdb"  instead of browsing to a folder where it's located. Then I updated my current connection to that new one.
