Crystal Report dialog box issues

Question

I am very new at .NET, and this is my second post to this forum.
I've created a Crystal Report within a project using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, on a Windows XP machine.
The report is handled by a CrystalReportViewer, which has its ReportSource set to the report.
Via a dialog box, the report asks for a signon and password for a SQL Server database.  Then, via a second dialog box, it prompts for a parameter required by the report.
All of this works ok, but I have two issues:
1) I would like to set the database signon and password so that the user doesn't have to enter them each time he runs the report.
2) If the Cancel button is clicked on any of the dialog boxes, it renders the report unusable until I shut down the application and reopen it.
I have looked online for two days, but have not been able to find a solution to these above problems.  It is probably simple, but I'm not seeing it.
I am attaching the relevant code for the button that runs the report.
    Private Sub cmdChecks_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdChecks.Click
            CrystalReportViewer2.DisplayToolbar = True
            CrystalReportViewer2.Visible = True
            CrystalReportViewer2.Height = 600
            CrystalReportViewer2.Width = 1000
            CrystalReportViewer2.Left = 10
    End Sub
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would like you to know the code of the logon based on the object models-
If you are using the ConnectionInfo then use the below code:-
//For web application
ConnectionInfo crConnection = new ConnectionInfo();
// Connection Information
crConnection.ServerName="D-2818-W2K";
crConnection.DatabaseName="Northwind";
crConnection.UserID="sa";
crConnection.Password="sa";
crReport.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt"));
Tables crTables=crReport.Database.Tables;
foreach(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table crTable in crTables)
          TableLogOnInfo crTLOI = crTable.LogOnInfo;
          crTLOI.ConnectionInfo=crConnection;
          crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTLOI);
          crTable.Location=crTable.Location;// for multiple table selection
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource=crReport;
====================================================================================
//For desktop application
ConnectionInfo crConnection = new ConnectionInfo();
// Connection Information
crConnection.ServerName="D-2818-W2K";
crConnection.DatabaseName="Northwind";
crConnection.UserID="sa";
crConnection.Password="sa";
crReport.Load(Application.StartupPath + "//CrystalReport1.rpt");
Tables crTables=crReport.Database.Tables;
foreach(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table crTable in crTables)
          TableLogOnInfo crTLOI = crTable.LogOnInfo;
          crTLOI.ConnectionInfo=crConnection;
          crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTLOI);
          crTable.Location=crTable.Location;// for multiple table selection
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource=crReport;
=====================================================================================
If using ReportDocument object model
//For web application
ReportDocument crReport= new ReportDocument();
crReport.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt"));
crReport.SetDatabaseLogon("sa","sa");
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =crReport;
=====================================================================================
//For desktop application
ReportDocument crReport= new ReportDocument();
crReport.Load(Application.StartupPath + "//CrystalReport1.rpt");
crReport.SetDatabaseLogon("sa","sa");
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =crReport;
