Crystal subreports prompt for credentials

I appreciate everyone's replies.
I sort of thought we'd left ODBC behind in the dust a long time ago, but if that's all the choice I have, then what can I do.

Problem Resolution:
1. Go to Start -> Run -> type in regedit 2. This will bring up your
Registry Editor.
3. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ ODBC\ODBC. INI.
4. Find your specific ODBC connection that is setup in your ODBC
datasources and double-click on it.
5. Go up to the Edit -> New -> String Value in the menu.
6. Give your New String Value the name of User ID.
7. Then double-click and give it a value of sysprogress. (Or
whatever your user id is setup to be.) 8. Exit the Registry.
9. Repeat the process for your Password.
10. In the SystemTaskAgent, under ODBC Connection, put in the User
ID and Password above.
11. Stop and start the TaskAgent and ProcessServer for this database.
12. Test your report and you should not get prompted.

I need to run a Crystal report that has a subreport, and I need the subreport to not prompt user for credentials.
Can I embed them somehow? I tried everything that I could think of, but user is still prompted.

just curious, but
Why do subreports prompt for credentials? ie, why doesn't the sub run
under the security context of the regular report with credentials as defined in System
agent?

Thanks for any suggestions

You need to add a key to the client registries to hold the password

You have to have the user id and the password in the registry entries
for the ODBC connection on that workstation.
