Try using an ODBC and then in CR use OLE DB ADO / ODBC to connect to db with the created DSN

[iamresearcher]

i created an odbc and use ole db ado / odbc but I use mysql odbc 5.1 from which there is no mysql odbc driver on the list of ole db providers on CR.

You need to install the mysql driver 5.1 in your pc
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

[iamresearcher]

i have already install that driver but it did not solved the prob.

If you already created the DSN then you'll see the name of the DSN you created in CR
menu / New / Using the report wizard / Create New connection / Ole DB ADO / Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers / your DSN name

[iamresearcher]

yes i can see that but I cannot continue to connect with it because of connection error possibly because I created the dns with mysql driver and I am connecting now with microsoft ole db driver

[jggtz]

Well, now try with ODBC (RDO) / your DSN

[iamresearcher]

connected to database but no tables.
