I am converting version 7 report to a version 8.5 report. I am connected VIA ODBC and when I refresh the report I get the error Database Error: ODBC Error: and then when I click the Ok button I get: SQL Server Error

 
Make sure that you use the CR supplied ODBC driver, not the MS one.

Also try opening the report and selecting Database->Set Location and point at the data source.

I tried the Set Location and no difference. What do you mean use the CR ODBC driver, please elaborate..
 
Do you know what ODBC driver you're using?

Crystal ships with it's own ODBC drivers, and suggests that you use them.

I assume that you're using a MS SQL Server database, but if you use another ODBC driver, you may get unexpected results.

You might make sure that it's using the right driver by selecting Database->Convert Database Driver and select

pdssql.dll
