Topic: Not able to connect to Database Posted: 08 Aug 2014 at 7:16am
Hi
I am new to Crystal reports design. I have recently installed the crystal reports 2008 in my machine. I have the report files (*.rpt). When I am trying to connect to DB which is showing in "My Connections", I am getting the error. When I click on "Create New Connection", I don't understand which one to opt for.

If you are trying to to connect to Oracle. You will need the correct Oracle client software installed and configured. I always have to have one our Oracel DBA's do it for me.

Install Oracle client in the local machine you are using and connect using Oracle server data connectivity. There are several other options also like OBDC, ADO etc. But ODBC also requires oracle driver for the connectivity.
