Title: New to Crystal Reports
Post by Dave Miller on 08/04/06 at 13:47:53

How do I access the data bases in DBA with Crystal Reports. Every time I try I get a message that it cannot load and then an error message. I am on 2006.1 EVO and Crystal Reports 11. Any help would be appreciated

I have Crystal Reports 11 as well, and when I try to run a report I get a series of error messages. Anyone have any suggestions?

Are you connecting via ODBC our DDF. If you have an ODBC connection set-up client and server it should connect. If your running ODBC, have you ran the EVO utility dbaodbc.run I think. This will create a set of ODBC DDF files. If you created some reports, it has to have a connection of some sort?

On Lynn's advice, I ran UT-A ODBCDDE.RUN - Now when I go to the default file I get an index file which allow crytsal reports to access the databases and it seems to work fine.
