Crystal Report Database Binding Problem (DSN, ODBC)

Hi All

I use a ODBC Connection to Connect to a AS400 System. I created a new DSN in the Windows System. The Databaseaccess is made directly out of the Crystal Report...so the Crystal Report is bound to the DSN i made in my Windowssystem. My Question is...How can i make a deploymentpacka ge and deploy my stuff on a customer machine with a diffrent DSN...can i specify the DSN somewhere outside Crystal Report to change it to a new one? or do i have to go another way to solve the problem?

As I had the Problem with my customer i had to set the new DSN connecting to the network of the customer...then replace the old connection in the crystal report and rebuild the report before it worked correctly...wou ld be nice if there was a better way to deliver crystal reports...

thanks for your help

Crystal 8 have a hotfix and a new DLL to solve problems related to modified registry settings but both solutions have not solved my problem (see...

Hai I have a designed Crystal report .rpt file which has 4 access tables .. After designing the report i put a parameter field which filteres the desired records quite naturally. Every thing works fine in the crystal report design time as well as in the preview asking parameters .. But if i call it thru my VB form it works nice after removing the parameteres.

Hi, I have an MS-Access 2000 application that is connected to a MS-SQL Server 2000 backend by linking tables through a DSN-Less connection. No problems at all with that part. This application executes various Crystal Reports that have their own built in SQL. These reports have no need for the MS-Access Linked tables and can function stand-alone against MS-SQL.

I'm having a problem in learning how to hand a dataset to a Crystal report. I'm hoping someone here can see what I'm doing wrong. I've stripped the code down to as simple as possible to get a working case. My form only has a Crystal view and a datagrid. I added the datagrid to verify that I was getting data from my database. The error I get is "Invalid Report Source". Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
