moreover, i have created rpt using cr 8.5 and i use mysql db with mysql odbc 5.1 that means I used odbc but when I deleted the odbc file for its connection, it will look for that file or establish again the connection.

how will i do that I dont need to create the odbc dsn file. this is important if I need to open the rpt upon distribution.
