I have a vb ap that is installed on a machine running citrix metaframe. This vb app is a 3 tier app and hence gives calls to a com components on another server.

all the users are able to run the app and use the transaction screens but when they try to call the crystal reports it gives an error of ODBC cannot open connections..

Now if i am logged in as administrator and run the exe from the local machine or thru the citrix neighorhood it works fine

But if i am connected as a user it does not allow me to print reports

What should i be checking for this. It has to do with the publishing of ODBC. Do i ned to give some special rights. or need to configure something.
 
Ensure that your ODBC details are configured in System and not in User.

If that doesn't work, you may have to use FileMon and/or RegMon from Sysinternals to debug your system further.

Hope you have a test server and user to cut down on their output!

Cheers,
Carl.
