I have a report that reads from an access database. I use 2 tables in the report. Right now, the report is coded to go to a database on my HDD. How do I change where it looks for the database? Also, it isn't showing me any data... What do I need to do to have it fill the fields?

The simple answer is: Go to "Database" -> "Set Location"
Once again, the simple answer is: Drag and drop the fields from the field explorer. Or create formula fields and drag and drop them on the report using the field explorer as well.
I hope that helps!

The problem is, I have to dynamically set the database location... I can't just do it in the report, 'cause it may not allways be in the same place.
I've got the report with all the fields on it, but it's still not showing anything, unforutnatly..

Just point it at an ADO.Net dataset, which is basically the database structure needed for your report. Fill your dataset at runtime, and there is no need for hard coded database paths.
