We recently acquired a company that has an MySQL database I need to get data out of, can anyone point me in the best direction to find out how to successfully link to the database with BO XI R2 & Crystal Reports???


 
MySQL or MS SQL? You say one thing in your title and another in your post.

For either one you can set up an ODBC System DSN that points to the database and connect to that to create your report. If you're designing the report on your local workstation, you also need to set up the ODBC connection with the exact same name on your report server so that when you publish your report, it has the connection that it needs to access the data.
