Crytal reports using the Crystal viewer

[Dross]

We have an internal web page that has hyperlinks to all the Crystal Reports (8.0)we have. We have an ASP page that someone designed to pass in the database user name and password. I want to bypass that and just use the Crytal Viewer. When I point the link right to the report the viewer starts and then wants me to add the user name and password for the database. I want to be able to click on the link and open the report without any additional steps. I have identical ODBC connections on the server so that shouldn't be an issue. The only solution I have found is passing the user name and password in the URL string, but I don't want to do that because I don't want the other users to see any password info. ANy ideas???

If the database requires a login then yu must either have the user login through a screen or put a default login & password in the URL.

I have seen a question on another experts page related to this. If I can find the question, I'll add a link to it later.

Thanks. That is the problem I am running in to.

I had a similar problem, what i did to get round it was load the report on the server (as you of you were going to edit it) then just save it.

Then when i pointed to the report it wouldn't ask for the database login.
