I have loaded a Visual Basic 6.0 Project on my PC which is running Crystal Reports 8.0. The Project is linked to an SQL database. When I compile the VB project a Datalink Properties Box appears prompting me for the Username / Password to my database. The box keeps appearing for every Crystal Report in the project. There are loads of reports so it is impratical to enter all these logons.

The Username / Password is also required if I load a single Crystal Report to modify it from within VB.

Has anyone got any idea how to overcome this as it is driving me mad!! My colleagues do not get this problem with the same project. My colleagues have Crystal 10 installed - is the fact that I only have Crystal 8.0 likely to be the problem?
 
Use a File based DSN and store the User name and Password in the File DSN.
