Start by looking at your code: we can't see it, so we can't be specific.
If the connection won;t open, then you have an incorrect connection string (and we can't see that either). Check the instance name, database name, and login details: they need to match those required by the DB instance or you will not be able to connect.

Easy enough to Google for "crystal reports database vendor code 17[^]"

Your connection string is probably wrong to connect to the database.
