Crystal native connection

[vshapiro]

I am using Crystal 9 and Oracle DB. I always use OLE DB for connection with the tables/views. Now I need to connect stored procedure and I have a problem. With OLE DB it does not work (looks like) and I cannot find native driver to establish new connection. Should I somehow install native driver?? How can I do it?

Hi, Under 'More Data sources' on the database menu, you will find the Oracle Server one..This is the Native SqlNet connection.



ps: Don't know, without further info, if this will correct your error.

Hi,
Sorry,in my CR9 ( I am using 8.5 mostly) it is under
'Create New Connection'

It should appear if you had the Oracle client software installed first..

I would ask you to install the complete dba version of Oracle and go through the configuration and management tools to th microsoft odbc admin and configure it from there
