    Posted: 13 Aug 2008 at 1:29pm
I have tried a few things, but alway get an invalid file path error..
 
I have backed off from my complex path to just get it to store on the c:\
drive rather then some local folder under my username.
 It seems if I ask for any path it get upset...
 
rptname = "testrpt"
strRptPath = "c:\" + rptName

crSet.CrystalRpt.FileName = strRptPath

crSet.CrystalRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, rptName)

'crSet.CrystalRpt.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, True, rptName)

Commented out field is where I really want to set the path, so if logic is different in that from my attempt to make it simpler, please let me know..
 
(Oh I did try to put path right on the .export____ --- But they changed als "\" to "_" which really made the path invalid. At least .filename left all the "\" alone.)
 
Any way to get Crystal to let me choose the path???

The ExportToHttpResponse method exports the report to the HTTP Response for the web page so that the document can be displayed.  If you look at the documentation, the type of the second parameter is System.Web.HttpResponse, so you can't give it a path and file name.

The FieldName property is the path and filename of the report that you're opening - it has nothing to do with how the report is exported.
