CR Asking for Password

[theshadowknz]

Loaded Crystal Reports that came with my VB for the first ime (didn't know it was there--VB6). Opened it up to "get a feel" and tried to load a couple of Access 2000 db that I have for other projects in the report wizard--it asks me for the db password--none of these db's are password protected?? What gives???

You may need to upgrade the MDAC components. They got out of step for a while.

CR4.5 (that comes with VB) doesn't like Access 2000 MDB's - try a Access97 MDb and you will be okay.

Or see if ODBC works. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

You Said--You may need to upgrade the MDAC components--Howq or where do I go to update the MDAC--and did you say that will cure the problem or Access2000 is the problem regardless and updating MDAC won't cure the problem?
