Hi.

First, I'll caution you against using the Crystal Query Designer, and not just because this technology is just another wasteful layer, but because the word is that it won't be supported in the future.

There are numerous connectivity issues with Query Designer, and it is VERY problematic.

Check:

http://www.appx.com/assets/asp/dynamic_generator_print.asp?pageid=723

or

http://www.tryappx.com/assets/asp/dynamic_generator.asp?pageid=688

If the URLs fail, just check the site, they specifically mention using the APPX ODBC with Crystal.
