    Resolved Standard method of creating reports (RESOLVED)

    Hello everybody

    I`ve been using Crystal Reports for my application reporting needs for some time. I`d like to ask how you guys start creating a new report using the RDC for example.

    Lets say that I have a table named Typos and I would like its fields to be displayed on a simple report using the RDC component. What I do is create a System DSN ODBC datasource to the MySQL database. Then I can populate the designer object with the required fields, using the System DSN Connector.

    In my code now I use ADO and an ADODB.Recordset object to populate the RDC object.

    VB Code:
    1. CrystalReport_list.SetDataSource rs 3, 1

    The problem now is that in every machine I distribute the application to, I also need to create a System DSN Connector. Can I get around this? I mean, how can I place the required field on the RDC designer at design time, without requiring a System DSN Connector. Can this be done?
