I suppose this is probably a basic question but this is what I am trying to do, keep in mind I am brand new to crystal reports and not the best VB programmer in the world.
I am trying to bring up a report designed to pull information from any one of about 20 databases. The db's are located on a MS SQL server. I have crystal report viewer control referenced in my VB although I have seen alot of code that uses CRAXDRT.dll.
I have no idea how to get the report to create a connection to our server. I think I have figured out how to the viewer but everything I try says the database.dll detected a database error.
I'm used to ODBC connections to databases but like I said I'm new to CR and am completely oblivious as to where to begin here. Can anyone please help?
Thanks
