I'm using Crystal Reports 11 and have 2 reports that share a common sub report.

I have created a copy of the 2 reports and the sub report. I then edited the copied sub report and attempted to reimport the edited sub report into the 2 copied reports. However this action reimported the original sub report rather than the copied one.

How do you specify a relative path for sub reports linked to a report?

Thanks

By import I mean that from within the main report I right click on the subreport and select reimport subreport. Where does crystal reimport this information from? It seems to me that the following is happening.

I create reports A, B and subreport C as you describe.

I then copy the 3 reports to a new location. Lets call the copied reports X, Y and Z. I modify the subreport Z and reimport it into the two reports. At this stage I would expect the modified subreport  Z to be reimported but the original subreport C is reimported. Where is the link to subreport C stored? Can I change this to be a relative path?

I've found a solution of sorts. I've renamed C. Now when I reimport I'm prompted to specify the path of the subreport. This is still a bit clumsy but gives me the solution I want.

Thanks for your help
