  • 0

I have a Crystal Report that runs from within an MS SQL Server based application. The application can run reports based off of this database just fine, but now I need to run a report that also has another datasource, an Access db. When I run the report from the CR designer it works. However, when I run it from within the application it fails with incorrect logon parameters. I think the application uses its own logon parameters to run reports. I’m not 100% sure of this though because it happens “under the hood” of the application. Is there any way I can force the report to use a certain logon for the Access db?

    It is fairly standard practice when an application embeds crystal reports that every table will be looped through and the logon parameters set to those of the application’s data source.

    The way i have achieved what you are looking to do in the past is create a view (possibly in conjunction with a linked server) in your application’s database then you point the report at this/these view(s).

    Good luck!
