What database are you using (e.g., SQL Server, Access, etc.)?

Most of my reports are either DSN or XML based. If you have a corporate environment, where you can have the net admins put the DSN in the user groups, they are very easy to use.

The other trick we use is a mapped personal drive and an XML file. Every user on our network has the H: drive mapped to a personal storage area. So we have our app spit out an XML file of the processed data to the H: drive, and then let Crystal read from that XML file.

Can't you pass it a dataset or datatable?
