Password Request

[Former Member]

I am trying to open a DBF file in Crystal Reports . Crystal Reports is asking for a User ID and Pasword. Just clicking of "FINISHED" gives me an error. I can open the file in Visual Foxpro without any password. The file is a local file on my computer and is not password protected. Your help will be appreciated. Mendel Reiner

Hi Mendel,

What version of Visual FoxPro are you using and what version of Crystal Reports? 

Crystal requires the FoxPro ODBC driver installed because FoxPro is not a true xBase database.  This is why you are getting a prompt for logging on. 

Good luck,

I downloaded and installed the FoxPro ODBC driver. It did not solve the problem. Any other suggestion?

What version of CR are you using?

See if this old CR 8.5 sample DBF works for you.

Save the file locally and unzip it. Then rename the file to *.zip and unzip it again
