Connecting Crystal Reports to an SQL Server

Question

So I\'ve gone into the \'database expert\', but I can\'t seem to figure out how to add the db to the report.

Any ideas?

P.S. I\'m using CR 13 and SQL Server 2012

Answer 1

We are using CR 11 R2 ... and I am not sure if option is changed or not for CR 2013..

But in CR 11 R2,this can be done by going in Database Expert, select Create New Connection. In that look for OLE DB (ADO) data source. Once you open up the OLD DB provider you should see Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
