Help with Crystal Reports

Hello, I am using Crystal Reports .NET for VB .NET. I am using a Crystal Report to load a list of payments for the company i work at. I got it all to work fine, except when I load the report through VB .NET it asks me to type in the database password, which wont work well since not everyone who will need to sue this program know the password, if any of them. Can anyone tell me how to save the password to the report somehow to avoid the login screen? Thanks in advance

i'm not sure how to solve that in Crystal .Net but using VB6 and Crystal 8.5 I do the following

[Highlight=VB]
With frmMPSSMain.CrystalReport1
.Reset
.Connect = "DSN=" & g_SERVER & ";UID=" & g_SYSUserID & ";PWD=" & g_SYSPW & ";DBQ=" & g_DBName
.ReportFileName = g_ReportLoc & "PAFOld.rpt"
.SelectionFormula = "{GetProposals_SJC.ProspectNo} = '" & param & "'"
.Action = 1
End With
[\vBcode]

Heres the fix if you need it...
