Hi. I am having a problem that when I click the link in the main report that leads to the subreport, the subreports asks for database credentials.

How do I keep the report from doing this?

Here are the photos:

C#

Main Report

Sub Report
- this is connected to the database (MS SQL) using OLE DB

Feel free to reply if you need more information

What I have tried:

I have tried the info above. The main report is connected using a dataset. I do not use codes by the way.
The subreport is connected using OLE DB

This uses codes, is it possible to set it up using crystal report interface?

yes it's possible to enter credential informations when you create the report (to locate the database), but i recommend you to do it in code to make dynamic because it's not sure that the credential of your dev environnement will be the same in production environment.

it's not best pratice but you can set your report credential directly in the production environment. and copy the file in application folder

you must do it manually for all reports and subreports (i suppose)
