Creating Crystal Report - promps for password

[JennB]

This is my first experience with crystal reports. When I try to create a new report and click on 'Data File', I can select my database but it then prompts me for a password. This database is not password protected and when I try to get out of this by pressing ok or cancel I get the following two errors:
"Couldn't find installable ISAM"
"File ....mdb is not a valid database type. Try again"

I did try putting a password on the database but it won't accept the correct password either. Every time I press ok, the prompt box keeps reapearing. Please Help.

Thnx

JennB,

What type of database is it? If it is Access - try username:admin passwordblank) or
username:sa passwordblank)

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help. It is an access database but it never prompts me for the username (only the password). It seems that no matter what I type in there the prompt just continues to pop up. Is there any way to tell the system not to prompt for the password?

Hi. I figured it out - Crystal reports didn't recognize the database b/c it was built in Access 2000. once I converted it to Access 98 everything was fine. Thanks for your help
