Password handling

[BonsaiCH]

Hello

I have created a crystal report in Lotus Notes. Everything is okey and the report is working...

BUT...

i have to enter always the password from my notes id file.

Is there a possibility to save the password or something else, so that the users don't have to enter the password?

Thank you

Crystal never saves the password. If your connection method (ODBC driver for example) allows you to store the password, you can to it there (e.g., ODBC DSN setup dialog).

Otherwise, you would have to create your own application to feed the password to the report or use a 3rd-party tool (see list at:

My DataLink Viewer provides this type of "integrated authentication" by encrypting and storing logon information for each windows user id & machine (so that another user can't take advantage of this).
