Thank you for your time!

I have a Windows Server 2003, and a PC with an id/pw to enable me to log on the to network.  On the PC I have Crystal 2008.  I wish to establish an ODBC connection between the two as to allow Crystal on the PC to access the data on the server.  Question is what are the necessary steps to do so...
 
Any help is most appreciated.

It's my understanding that Crystal must be installed on the server as well or it can't access your database. If you have remote access to the sever it would be a simple thing to install it there and then access and use it there.
