First of all - thank you for such a great program - or at least in the bit of testing I've done with it, it appears the free version will do what I needed! I needed a viewer that would allow my users to input information into parameter fields.

Here is my question and I'm not sure if you can help me or not. I searched your forum and am still searching the 'net for an answer.

When I open the crystal report in your viewer or even the business objects viewer, I am asked for the username and password for the database. How do I get around this as I don't want to give everyone the password so they can view reports? I know it is not your viewer that is the problem as CRXI asks me for the password each time I go to edit the report. I can't seem to find an answer - but I'm probably using the wrong search terms.


CR XI

Thank you.
