I am working with Crystal Reports 9 and I am creating report from File System Data. Also, I am working on .NET 1.1 C# application that should be able to use that report file dynamically replacing the data source location… So I can generate reports of usage many Directories, Subdirectories, folders...

I try use the method SetDataSource, and I get error message:

“The Request could not be submitted for background processing”

Code example:

String newPath=@”C:\Folder1\Docs”;

reportDoc.Database.Table[“tablename”]. SetDataSource (newPath)

So, is there a way to generate those reports dynamically or???
