Providing database logon credentials to CrystalReports XI thru VB6.0

I am trying to provide database logon credentials to Crystal Reports XI thru VB 6.0 (via ODBC) for Oracle 10g server database.

I have Oracle client 9.2.0.4.0 on my PC.

I am using the LogOnServer method in VB to log on to the database providing a secure connection to all tables within the database. Logon sever syntax is

LogOnServer <databaseDLL>, <Server>, <Database>, <UserID>, <Password>

where <Server> is the ODBC Data Source Name and <database> is the name of the database

How do I find the <databaseDLL> to use in my code?

Thanks,

If i recall correctly the dll specified should be "crdb_odbc.dll" for ODBC connections. Try it out.

I found the solution to this problem. This code is working fine. (using the LogOnServer method and crdb_oracle.dll and crdb_odbc.dll)

Thanks,

Saloni
