I hope this is better. Funny, I don't remember having this much trouble before. But thanks for your help. I have just been informed that my posts were coming through as attachments and most readers could not see my question. So I am once again resubmitting in the hopes that someone knows how to answer my question. I apologize and thank you. I have an Access database (XP) from which I created several Crystal Reports (8.5) because Access would not handle all the fields required for the reports. I may have gone about this backwards because now that I have started investigating how to be able to view the reports in Access I find that one actually must create the reports through Access when using the Wizard. If so then hopefully this will be a simple copy/paste procedure once I get into it. The problem is that once I started up the Crystal Report Wizard and chose the query from which I wanted to create the first report, I was asked to enter a database password. My database does not have a password. I have searched for a means to handle this but to no avail. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Or better yet, what I really need to do is view the reports from within Access using the Crystal Active-X. I've been over the Accocx97.mdb example on how to set up a CR in Access, however in XP I don't see a place to put the file name of the report. I'm hoping someone can help me real quick as I've already wasted too much time re-doing these reports in Crystal after having found out that Access won't handle them.
