	have you tried select [user].[name] from [user]? never seen the use of single quotes since that is a text string in SQL Server and makes no sense in the context of the sample. Hope this helps

	I think you are trying to use a filter here and you put the 'user' as a place holder for what you want to filtered by. It will be much easier for you to just use the select expert in Crystal to do this for you. Click on the Select expert . Select the 'user name field' and then change the firswt option to "is equal to"then use the other pick list to select the item you want it to equal (it will show al values from the DB).

	This may be abvious, but are you signed in as the table owner? If not, you will need to include the name before the table name. Just a thought...
