Report with parameters will not open database

[greydog]

I am working with CR8.5, VB6, SQL7. I do not have RDC. I have designed a number of reports in Crystal Reports and they work fine. I have written a small VB routine to call these reports. I have connected to the database using ODBC.
I can run reports from within VB that do not have a pararmeter, but if a parameter is required after I give the parameter, an error message appears stating that the server is not open. How do I give the userid and password to the server after the parameter?
Thank you.

I am using OCX to attach the report

You give it before report is launched, by using the Connect or LogOnInfor property. Ken Hamady
