I suppose we can hard-code the name on the report in a static text box, but am wondering if there might be some other way to approach this - using either Crystal Rpts variables or Server Configuration.

 

I appreciate any suggestions, etc.

Here is what I ended up doing.

 

//------------------------------------------------------
// Formula: getPathAndRptNme
// Returns a string containing the Path and Report Name.
// NOTE: IF the report is running on the Crystal Server,
// use [Crystal Reports Server\] for the path
// because the real path is too long to display.
// Also, hard-code the report name because the filename
// special variable returns the temporary instance name.
// Append the temporary server report instance name for
// debugging purposes.
//------------------------------------------------------
IF Instr({@getPath}, "CrystalReports2011ProcessingServer") = 0 THEN
  // not running on the server
  // return the filename variable [same as Special Field: File Path and Name]
  filename
ELSE
  // running on the server
  // Hard-code the path and report name
  "Crystal Reports Server\POST_VENDOR_SERVICE_AUTH.rpt " 
    + chr(10) + chr(13)
    + "Temporary Instance Name: " + {@getFileNme}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

//-----------------------

// Formula: getPath

// return everything up to the file name

filename [1  to InstrRev( filename , '\')]

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

// Formula getFileNme

filename [ InstrRev ( filename , '\') + 1  to Length (FileName)]
