Crystal Reports DataBase Fields

Question

Hi,
I'd like to know if is possible to set the query string and the DataBase when you want to open a Crystal Report from SBO.
Thanks.

Answer 1

You cannot set the database connection string from the SBO connection information because the password is encrypted.
But if can grab the password from somewhere else you can do it like this:
    private void SetConnectionInfo(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo, ReportClass report)
      TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo;
      report.SetDatabaseLogon(conn.UserId, conn.Password, conn.Server, conn.Database);
      crConnectionInfo.ServerName = conn.Server;
      crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = conn.Database;
      crConnectionInfo.UserID = conn.UserId;
      crConnectionInfo.Password = conn.Password;
      foreach(Table table in report.Database.Tables)
        crTableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
        string s = table.Location;
        s = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + "." /*dbo." */ + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1) ;
        table.Location = crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName + "." /*dbo."*/ + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1) ;
Hope this helps,
