I want to know if anybody tried or succeeded doing this :
I want to move some ACCPAC reports to OLE-DB instead of ODBC connections (excluding any datapiped reports of course).
When I change the connections to these reports using OLE-DB I have no problems printing them from the Crystal Reports report editor. When it prints from ACCPAC, the report cannot connect. And it makes sense as the report connection gets "set" by ACCCPAC, server name and database name gets changed when ACCPAC calls the report. From what I know the server will be changed to <servername>32 (where <servername> is my SQL server) and the database to whatever is set in my database profile for that company.
I tried to set in the HOSTS file of the computer the host name <servername>32 to create sort of an alias to the SQL server for the report (I am not using instance names in SQL). I proved that by pinging <servername>32 and I get an immediate response. But when printing from ACCPAC, the report still cannot connect.
