Answer : Why I need crystal report file path?

You can replace the Application path as below, this will take the path based on the installation.

reportdoc.Load(App_Path() & "kennamCustomers.rpt")

********************************
Public Function App_Path() As String
\bin\Debug"
Return System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory()
End Function

You can also use the System.Reflection namespace to get the properties of your Assembly. Try this VB.NET code:

Dim aPath As String
Dim aName As String

aName = _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly. _
GetModules()(0).FullyQualifiedName

aPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(aName)
