Hi all,

I am running Visual Studio 2010. And I am starting out with
Crystal Reports, but in my Crystal Report Wizard I entered
my Server name, Userid, password but where I have to then choose
a database nothing is showing. Why not?

Can anyone please help me with this??

Check if you are able to actually connect to the DB using the parameters you have provided from within the code. Use a connection string containing these details and make sure that a valid connection is created.

Dont connect crystal report directly with database, this will cause a problem when you deploy your app to client.... If you want better performance use Strongly Typed DataSet Type as DataSource for Crystal Report...

Create a Dataset file by including as a new file in your project and include your database tables into it...

then connect that wilth crystal report
