Yan,

Try the reportfilename property

>Also, is there any way to remotely "compile" the CR report (merging the data to the report) in Foxpro?

It looks to me that dynamicly binding datasources is the preferable way. I don't have experience with the 4.5 version (you might want to upgrade to 7.0 which is much more flexible)

I know in version 6 there was an property where you could change the location (datasource property) of the connected database.

For example you could generate a Fox2x file in your temp dir and change the default location to this file. Hereby the report doesn't take the original table to report from, but the table just created in the temp dir.

If I remeber it correctly (for version 6) the steps were as follows:

- Open the report by setting the reportfilename property
- Set the new location of the database (by the datasource property)
- Set the destination property to 1 (fax printerdriver)
- Set the printerdriver, Printername and printerport properties to the faxprinter driver
- Set the Action property to 1 (print the report to the fax driver)


Good luck,

Walter,
