Connection issue

[demopro]

Does Crystal Reports 10 store the password field of the database connection string? I cannot find it and when I try and use a report it asks me for the password. Once, I enter the password I can view the report.

No, for security reasons it generally does not.

There are exceptions I believe, such as creating a manual DSN string.

The user will always be asked for the password and Userid? Is there a way I can automate this process using code?

with vs.net 2005 you can embed this information encrypted into the web.config file so possibly crystal could use this connection information but not sure though.
