I have a connection setup to OLE DB (ADO), I try to use integrated security but in Epicor it asks for a username and password to preview the report. This only happens when I am pulling a table or a view from the SQL server that has the database. So, I tried to do an ODBC connection, now it says in Epicor that it cannot connect to the database. How do I use the OLE DB connection but not have it prompt for credentials in Epicor?
You need a report viewer, which is able to preserve the login information.
Here are links to 2 free viewers:

I have a problem to update Command in Database Expert. After editing SQL query in Command and click on OK button, Crystal Reports wants to connect into database. But the database is on serves, where I don't have access.
My question is if, there is any possibility, how to update and save edited SQL in Command without connection into database?
I am using Crystal Reports - Product version 10.
No way around this.
But you could create a test/development database with the same structure that you do have access to...
Please suggest what is the difference between odbc connection and oracle server connection in crystal reports while connecting to oracle database.
Please suggest when we will use both of them
ODBC works with "rectangular" or 2D data. If you have spatial data, you will need to use the native Oracle client. Our DBA also says Oracle ODBC has to convert data types while a native client would be "apples to apples".
If you have a Crystal Server accessing an Oracle database, use the native Oracle client. On your workstation, also run the same client whether ODBC or Native as the server.
I want connect my MS access 2003 with Oracle SQLdeveloper so that I can do analyis in SQLDeveloper. I am trying to create ODBC driver but it is not working.I am wondering if any of you send me the links or explain how can I create a ODBC connection between Access and Oracle SqL developer
Here is a short video
and a more complete example is in this article
2 ways to do it:
Long & foolproof method:
1. Below link has he Oracle Tutorial document for the Migration
https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/msaccess/migrate_microsoft_access_otn.htm
Short Method (may not work always):
2. To setup a connection to MS Access in Oracle SQL Developer, from the Connections dialog, click on the green plus sign. This will open the connections dialog box.
You will see a tab that says Access right beside Oracle tab which will be selected. Click on the tab to open up the dialog to use an MS Access MDB file. Use the Browse button to locate the MDB and give it a connection name. No need to enter username.
Once connected to the MS Access database from Oracle SQL Developer, you will see the connection in the database.
You can see all the tables in the database by expanding the TABLE category of the connection.
I'm trying to convert some old Excel-reports to Crystal Reports. The excel sheets uses OLAP-cubes and connects to a database using a XMLA connection over a SimbaO2X driver.
I just can't figure out which connection settings to use in Crystal Reports to be able to connect to the database.
I've tried both XML and OLAP connections, but just can't get a database connection.
Any help with the connection setting would be appreciated!
Edit: The database is a bit of a black box; it's probably an Oracle database (it was an Oracle database before the end user frontend was rewritten in java. They could have changed the database as well.) I have however no success with neither the Oracle Server nor the Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle connection method.
I have also this morning found a SimbaO2X provider under the OLE DB folder. While not working it's the best so far -- it accepts the username and password and lets me select which database to connect to but then fails with ADO Error Code: 0x80040e73 (Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification.) At least I have something to go on.
I'm running Crystal Reports XI if someone needs to know.
Partial solution:
Upgrade Crystal Reports XI to Release 2, service pack 4.
Update from service pack 4 to service pack 6.
Upgrades and updates can be downloaded from the SAP Community Network
A connection can now be made with the SimbaO2X OLE DB driver. This solution should also resolve connection problems with some other databases as well.
However, adding a table to the report results in a 0x800a0cc1 error (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal)
