Crystal Reports .NET 2003 with Access database password

Hi all,

I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 against a fixed
Access database with a fixed database-level password, using OLEDB. I
designed the reports just fine, but I'm not finding a way to actually
use them from code.

Is there really no way to either embed the fixed connection info in the
report or somehow get the string "Jet OLEDB:Database Password=passwo rd"
into the OLEDB connection string from code? If not, my only options
are to move to a full version of Crystal, or translate all my reports
to the push model.

The microsoft.publi c.access.report s newsgroup deals specifically with
Access' Reporting features. You are far more likely to get the answer you
need from one of the other newsgroups to which you crossposted -- devoted to
Crystal Reports, or one devoted to whichever DotNet language you are using.

You don't need to hand the report a connection, password or anything it
keeps whatever you set it up with.
So if you enter the connection in when you set the report up then it
should have that.

Right click on a bit of your report has nothing in it.
You should get a pop up menu includes the option Database.
Choose set database location from this.
You should find this fairly self explanatory but....

Set up a new connection and include the password in the stuff it asks
you for.
Substitute this for the old source.

I'm developing an application in VS.Net 2003 using C#, which uses Crystal Reports.

Before running each report I run some code which is ment to reset the...

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,...
