| What do you mean Crystal Reports does not work with SQL Server 2005 Express? Why would you decide to downgrade to an unsupported platform instead of using the most current version?Really, you should be moving forward with SQL Server 2008 instead of 2005 - and Crystal Reports really doesn't care what version the database is that it is going to connect to. You use an ODBC/OLEDB connections from Crystal to the database and the Express versions support that with no problem.Most likely, when you installed the Express edition you did not configure TCP/IP and that is why you are having problems. |
