What type of connection are you using? I'm not sure that Crystal will connect using OLEDb because of the hyphen. So, I would try creating an ODBC connection that takes care of specifying the database connection and use that in your report. -Dell

Dear Dell
Thanks for your reply
The problem is solved by just clicking the following 2 options while creating the Data source ODBC which i use to connect to the database from Crystal Report .
Here are the 2 options :-
Use ANSI quoted Identifiers
Use ANSI Nulls , paddings and warnings
Once i ticked these 2 options , i successfully connected to the database from Crystal Report.
