Yes that's what I mean by root problem. If your new project acts differently than the previous project I would guess that the problem is actually in the project, not in the database. But then again I don't know enough about the solution so this is merely guessing.
Try for example restoring a backup to a new database. If that solves the problem then everything should be ok. If it doesn't it would still give you more information about the problem.

I tried attaching the database on a newly created project. Still the same. Not recognized in the crystal report wizard. Sigh.. Oh well. I'll just try this newly created database first. Hopefully it works.

Let's hope so. If not, post what you have found and we'll see if some new ideas come up.

Unless Crystal Reports is connected to the new instance only. I'm willing to bet he has two instances installed.

That would explain it, but even though it's a matter of connection string... "Where do want to go today"

If I remember my Crystal Reports it is even simpler. From within the report he is building he should be able to use the UI to connect to the correct instance/db.

It depends if he's letting the dialogs to show up or if he sets credentials in the code.
But you're right, at the time when the report is launched, the actual connection is evaluated. And if any information is missing, it will be asked.

I got it working now. Thanks! I just created a new database however I have a new problem. Yesterday I was able to successfully migrate my data to another database, using this query: "INSERT INTO Records SELECT * FROM MMDAserver.dbo.Records", then being stupid, I accidentally deleted the newly created database from the project file I attached into. Now when I created the new database again with the same name and same everything, I already get this error when I try to copy them again:
Msg 8101, Level 16, State 1, Line 1<br />
An explicit value for the identity column in table 'Records' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.

This means that you hav an IDENTITY column in records table. Normally you cannot give value to an identity column because SQL Server assigns it. When migrating old data you can set this feature temporarily off. Have a look at: SET IDENTITY_INSERT (Transact-SQL)[^]
However if you don't want that SQL Server assigns the value at all, you should remove the identity definition from that table.
|

|

Yeah I just noticed. LOL. I removed the Identity Specification for the newly created tables. THANKS A BUNCH! You guys were a great help!

One easy way is to use like operator:
... str_Name LIKE '0%'
OR str_Name LIKE '1%'
...

Hi Mika Wendelius,
Thanks for your valueble suggestion.
|
|
|
|

you could also use something like
Where str_Name like '[0-9]%'
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
