Hi ,
I have learned that DSN creation in Windows 7 needs DSN entries in Registry also, where we specify the Datbase Name, Driver name i.e. the Path for the SQLserver dll, Username and the Server name.
These enteries are usually performed under this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE>>WOW6432node>>ODBC>>ODBC.IN>>
DSN_NAME.
I have created DSN on my local machine, but was not able to locate this path in Registry.
 I working on Windows 7 32 bit system, Service Pack 1.
Can anybody Help me out with this, as I am not able to run crystal report locally.
Reply asap would be highly appericated.
 Thanks in Advance
------------- Thanks & Regards Nish |

Think you need to use the 32bit ODBC,
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
set the connections up there
