Database connection timeout

128 Views

We have successfully developed reports in CR XI and have been testing these reports on our website. All the tests had been going great until we realized that if the server was down we received a timeout error and then a connection information box asking for the connection information i.e. Server, User Id, Password, Database etc.. We obviously do not want our customers to see this information.

My question is, what can we do to prevent them from seeing this information when the connection to the database server is not online? Our first thoughts where to do something in the report to simulate a request for something with no data. That doesnt seem to work. Any ideas would be helpful.

We are using a OLE DB (ADO) connection.
