    Connection Help

    I just got .NET, and I'm trying to create a Crystal Report with it.

    I'm currently using a MySQL database on a remote server. Now, within the server explorer I can get my database to display, but I can't figure out how to connect to it with Crystal Reports. Is there any way I can use my existing connection, or be able to do a DSN-less ODBC connection through Crystal Reports .NET version?

    Thanks,


    Mat

    Under create new connection when you are setting your source select OLE DB (ADO) and then pick the provider appropriate for your type of database (Access, SQL, Oracle etc.). It will allow you to specify connection parameters and then should function "DSN"less. Good luck.
