configure button to see the rest of the information)- database name,
port#, server etc.

OK,
We have Crystal Reports XI. We are also running Vantage 8.00. I am
just beginning to be trained in Crystal Reports and I am attempting to
connect to the Vantage database. Unfortunately, the person who has
been working with Crystal Reports can not remember how to do this. So,
I was wondering if anyone here can help. I need to know what the
database file is called as well as what type of database it is.

Thanks.

You can use the same settings in Crystal reports to connect. Hope this helps.

OK,
We have Crystal Reports XI. We are also running Vantage 8.00. I am
just beginning to be trained in Crystal Reports and I am attempting to
connect to the Vantage database. Unfortunately, the person who has
been working with Crystal Reports can not remember how to do this. So,
I was wondering if anyone here can help. I need to know what the
database file is called as well as what type of database it is.

Thanks.
