Crystal Reports XI

Hi... hoping someone here uses CR XI

Ive been writing reports against our main MIS for ages.... however they now want me to link reports in from our time keeping system. Both use a SQL database. The MIS system is configured as an ODBC connection in the control of each machine. The time keeping database isnt....

I cant find a way to connect to a standalone SQL database in CR XI without it being added to the ODBC data sources first...

Anyone got any suggestions?

Re: Crystal Reports XI

Sorry mate,
I use CR v9.0 and ODBC

Why do you not want to use ODBC and define the SQL db as an ODBC datasource ?
