Hi,

I have a web application which displays report using crystal report 12.0

The problem that I am facing is when I generate a report for records upto 20,000, it is successful, but for records above this, it gives me error as follows:

The report you requested requires further information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Server name:
Database name:
User name:
Password:
Use Integrated Security
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Googling the issue, I came across a couple of solutions which are not working in my case:
1. Using Datatable to set the "SetDataSource" property of the report instead of using Dataset
2. Iterating through each table in CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table to set the connection info for each of them.

None of the above works in this case.

Any help would be appreciated.


thnks
Sid

"None of the above works" then we would like to see the code.

Comprehensive answer.
In the design source just put this attribute,-

EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt="false"


Hope this can help you.

Good Call.
Thnx all for your help.....
Guess i solved the problem. There was already the block of code which iterates through the tables in the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and gives each one of them the Connection info.

Through trial and error method I by passed the block of code and it worked in my case. Below is the code which i commented:

/********Code Block********************************/
repTbls = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table repTbl in repTbls)
                {
                    repTblLogonInfo = repTbl.LogOnInfo;
                    repTblLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    repTbl.ApplyLogOnInfo(repTblLogonInfo);
                }
                reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon(connectionInfo.UserID,connectionInfo.Password,connectionInfo.ServerName,null);
