I'm getting a logon error and not sure why. I'm trying to launch crystal using ADO connection.
The code is in Access / VB and the Access db extention is .accdb

VB

Dim crxApplication As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim report As CRAXDRT.report

CrViewer1.DisplayBorder = False          'MAKES REPORT FILL ENTIRE FORM
CrViewer1.DisplayTabs = False            'THIS REPORT DOES NOT DRILL DOWN, NOT NEEDED
CrViewer1.EnableDrillDown = False        'REPORT DOES NOT SUPPORT DRILL-DOWN
CrViewer1.EnableRefreshButton = False    'ADO RECORDSET WILL NOT CHANGE, NOT NEEDED

Set crxApplication = New CRAXDRT.Application
Set report = New CRAXDRT.report
Set report = crxApplication.OpenReport("P:\Inventory\Reports\Test.rpt")

report.DiscardSavedData

'report.Database.Tables.Item(1).SetLogOnInfo "P:\Inventory\Test\", "Spawntestbe", "admin", ""
report.Database.Tables.Item(1).SetLogOnInfo "", "", "admin", ""

CrViewer1.ReportSource = report
CrViewer1.Height = 13000
CrViewer1.Width = 14000
CrViewer1.ViewReport

Solution 1

Check this
C# Crystal Reports Dynamic Logon parameters[^]

EDIT
---------
I'm an idiot.

Based on your code, you forgot to uncomment/comment the SetLogOnInfo lines.

VB

'report.Database.Tables.Item(1).SetLogOnInfo "P:\Inventory\Test\", "Spawntestbe", "admin", ""
report.Database.Tables.Item(1).SetLogOnInfo "", "", "admin", ""

Because report needs the database file to connect but in above uncommented line, those fields're empty. So I think you should comment the below line & uncomment the above line(which has db details).

I'm not accessing a sql database but MS Access Tables. There is not server name etc., By the way the code is Access / VB

I tried both lines with no luck. I tried other ways as well and still had the issue.

what's the complete error message, if possible share screenshot

Member 10313251 4-Oct-13 14:38pm

It just says logon failed. Nothing else. The string does match the Properties settings in Crystal Reports \ Set Datasource Location
