I've seen a couple of references to imbedded connection strings in CR but no real info. I was hoping that someone might have some ideas on how if at all.
I use Logicity Suite to automate reports (schedule, email, save, etc.)- it imbeds the connection string & works quite nicely. It will work as a viewer but requires a fair amount of setup up front, its also easily messed up if a user gets curious. I'm trying to avoid adding another level of headaches. A web based solution would do the trick but I have neither the time nor the expertise (nor the budget) to take that aproach.
By the way - Logicity Suite (
http://www.logicitysuite.com) is a FANTASTIC product - I use an older version of the freebie but the paid version is only $45 & does even more so anyone looking to automate their Crystal Reports should take a look. I schedule about a dozen reports every night, save a pdf copy of each & email them to upper management, accounting, etc. They like the reports so much they want them on demand now!
Thanks,
