Crystal Sub-reports on Citrix

Question

We've got a Crystal Report (v8.5 - yes I know it's old!), with contained sub-reports, that gives problems when attempting to run on Citrix (by one of our customers). This appears to be because the sub-reports retain a hard-coded reference to the location of the original Access database at design time. The latter is, for example, located at C:\xyz\abc. Unfortunately we can't fool it by simply copying a dummy Access file to this location, as the Citrix user effectively does not "see" a C: drive! (At least this is my understanding - it has proven very difficult to find out basic operating principles of the Citrix environment. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? (Or found any sites giving basic guidance to Citrix environment?)

Thanks

Answer 1

Where is the target access db located? Is it on a network drive somewhere?

I have little to no experience with access db and crystal, but I think you should be able to go "Set Datasource Location" and update the access tables to point at the correct path.

One thing I will say about crystal and citrix is that you shouldn't run different versions of crystal on the same citrix box. It gave us a lot of headaches!

I know the Citrix forum has helped me more than once...
