Hello,

I am having a few problems with a Crystal Report at the moment.  The report gets data from two databases (ODBC (RDO)) - Data and LoginDB.  Since the report is run within an application which doesn't have access to the LOGINDB source - we have had to create LOGINDB database link in Prod. 
 
We have created the database link - however when we go into the Database Expert - we cannot see the logindb tables in the Prod environment.
 
The database link seems to be working (I have selected data from the logindb via SQLPLUS (i.e. select * from users@logindb).  However, I cannot see the tables in the Database Expert.  How would I introduce these tables into the report?
 
Many Thanks in advance

Crystal doesn't see tables through Oracle Database Links.  However, you can use them in a Command where you would write the SQL to gather your data instead of having Crystal write it for you based on the tables you select.
