>You can open the subreport witht the opensubreport() method. This will give you a reference to a report object, which you can use in the same way to set the database location.

Yes, you can; that method HAS to be called PRIOR to running the methods mentioned in the thread above:

When I programmatically call the ReImportSubreport method, it does the same thing, so the results will be the same--works here, not at customer site. I tried calling the Section.DeleteObject method followed by a Section.AddSubreportObject method, but then I get a message that it requires licensing. Meaning I can only use that technique at customer sites where every single machine has an RDC runtime license, at $199 per pop. Again, not good.

Requiring a Crystal RDC runtime license on every machine just to view a report isn't a practical solution. The point being, that once the subreport is opened, I can't find any property that defines this hard-coded path, therefore can't figure out a way to change it on-the-fly.

Unless I'm missing something obvious here?
