lswaddle Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello, I was wondering how to use a CSV as a datasource, I've managed to get it working on the server, but whenever I make changes to the CSV these are not shown in the report. I've tracked this down to whenever I publish report it will also save a copy of the CSV file to the server, which I'm assuming it then looks at. How can I instead have it look at an XML without it needing that 'local' copy? I've tried making use of file//pathtofile, but this causes the same problem. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: What is also strange to me, is when I preview in studio even though the report is looking at the XML file stored on the server, whenever I run this it shows the changes in the CSV file no problem.

Solution lswaddle Posted December 4, 2019 Author Solution Share Posted December 4, 2019 So I figured out where I was going wrong. I shouldn't have ever been using the T: or file:\ instead I need to make use of the actual server that the file was stored on so \server2folderfile.csv this has now worked and I can update the file freely.
