Hi,

I am new to Jet Reports.
I am trying to figured out how to use a share location for reports that all viewers can point their Report Viewers and view them?
Is this possible?

  Unfortunately you cannot do this. The Report Player installs on your machine locally and you are not able to point to a different directory than the one installed. To do this, you would need to send the reports out to those viewers to have them install those reports into their own Report Player.
  
  Do you need to use the Report Player? You could put all the reports on a shared network drive and then anyone with permission can access that folder with the reports. Just beware that having them on a shared drive means someone could accidentally delete them so you would want to have some sort of backup policy in place.
