CR 8.5 with MS SQL Server 2005

[ShawnCoutts]

Does Crystal Reports 8.5 work with MS SQL Server 2005?
I realize that MS SQL Server 2005 has its own reporting solution, but i am currently using the express version for testing purposes, and do not have access to the software on the server. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shawn

Any version of crystal should be able to talk to any version of SQL provided that you have the SQL drivers installed on the machine. Windows 2000 and XP come with SQL Drivers that should work just fine.
