 public bool ShowReport()
{
    try
    {
        //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument oRepDoc;
        //CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo oLogInfo;

    }
}

when depugging oRepDoc.VerifyDatabase();
i got error invalid mapping
by the way connectioninfo works on sql server

Tim Vasil, from this thread on MSDN, says he resolved this error by installing Microsoft SQL Server Native Client on the server machine that was being connected to.
