	I use CR XI. In it you can use the Database Expert to create a new connection for the report. Just follow the wizard steps to use ODBC and then pick the DSN name for the connection to SQL Server. This assumes that you have created the ODBC connection first. That is done in Windows under Control Panel->Computer Management->ODBC Connections. I would guess that CR 9 has a similar functionality if not being identical. Hope this is of some help. Regards, John W. www.CustomReportWriters.net

	This assumes you have built the Connection. If you have not done that yet (ie you do not see your Database in the list from above) Goto the Windows Admin tool Data Sources and either set it up as a user DSn or a system DSN You'll need the system name, a logon and PW
