Failed to connect to server 'YourServiceName'

[DVDGirl]

Hi All ~

I am getting this error:
Failed to connect to server 'YourServiceName'. Error return from Windows
Sockets API : 0


It happened when I call CE 10 using ASP.NET. I googled and I couldn't find a solution, but I found people are having the same problem too. I applied the latest service patch from Crystal and it still didn't work. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have!

What type of database are you trying to connect?

I was having the same problem with CR XI with ASP.NET. I was using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle. I changed it to the Oracle's ODC driver and was able to connect.

Hi ~
We're trying to connect to MSDE SQL Engine. The weird thing is that if we install Crystal Enterprise X Professional, we get the error message "Cannot connect to server". However, if we install Crystal Enterprise X Embedded Version, it connects fine.
