When I save a report to Crystal Server, I have to go into the CMC and set the default information for logging onto the data source. This is something that used to happen automatically but since building a new server does not. Every time I make a change to a report it wipes the login info. (Kinda painful!!) Is there a setting I have missed that will keep the info??

cheers,


David
 
In CMC, click on the report. Under the Properties tab, click on the refresh options and uncheck "Default Database Logon information"

FYI, I also uncheck Title, Description, and Printer Options so I don't have to reenter the data.

Thanks kskid however, is there a way of setting "Default Database Logon information" to be unchecked by default?

cheers,

David
 
Not that I have found. If you find a way let me know.

By the way, I forgot to mention that you should also go to the Process tab, then database and enter the password and scoll to the bottom and check "Use same database logon as when report is run" and click update
