Hey,
 
I downloaded a rpt file from a website and try to open it with the report viewer pro.
 
I am getting an error with the connection to that file.
 
I open it on a workstation that is connect to windows server 2003.
 
How can i configure windows server 2003 to open that file.
 
I have not configure the report viewer pro about connection with db.
 
I need to connect with the website's db or how can i fix it?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Sorry about my english.
Joeri

The Database the report is looking for doesn't exist on your server.Without a Crystal program to modify the report to point it at a DB on your server you are out of luck.To connect to a web sites DB the report will have to be on the web site, not your machine.
