Is it possible to connect to crystal to a remote dsn? Basically I have a site with a dsn outside of the domain root - I would like to connect to this dsn/database so that I have live data access. Possible?

Probably depends on the type of db in question. For instance, if I've got someone's IP, and they've got port 1433 forwarded to their SQL Server, I can connect from anywhere as long as I have a valid db login.
