I have Crystal 8 reports which are hosted on a web server, and are run via the Crystal Reports viewer. These reports connect to a SQL server database.
When a report is first run, it requests the logon details to connect to SQL server.
This isn't too bad for a simple report, as the login is only required once. However, when I include a subreport within the admin report, it requires me to login twice, once for each 'report'. I have some reports that use multiple sub-reports, so this is a big problem for me.
Does anyone know of a way of passing login details through automatically, either for the whole report, or at least for the sub-reports?
Any help is much appreciated!
 
hi

I just have the Web Component services installed on my IIS server, and have the report in a hyperlink from my HTML web page.
 
You can set the password for the report in the management console, under databases.
 
Hi fbermudez, which management console do you mean? Can you tell me where to find this option?
