Re: PostgreSQL ODBC 8.04.0200 and Crystal Reports XI Developer

Hi Peter,

I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but I found that once I installed
Crystal 2008 the problem went away. Its surprising that there was nothing
in the ODBC trace for the driver connect. Maybe Crystal is trying to be
"smart" and talking to the driver directly instead of issuing normal ODBC
calls? Regardless, now I have the fun game of seeing what's different so
I can update our runtime files install. :)

Hello,

you don't happen to have a semicolon within your password?
This obviously cuts the connection string sent by the PGAPI used by
Crystal Reports.
Try an ODBC DSN without spaces.
Does the test connection via the configuration dialogue of the DSN work?

Good luck,

Peter
