I can't figure out what determines whether or not the User_ID gets populated (i.e. from Crystal Reports...Database...Set Location).
When I create my Crystal reports, I am logged on as CGAGNON. Sometimes CGAGNON will appear in the UserID info...sometimes it is blank.

This is causing me a problem when the users try to run reports from e-portfolio.

Crystal Enterprise is installed on the IIS, which is logged on as HCWEB.
When I publish the reports, I go into the DATABASE tab and change the Logon Name to HCWEB, since I want everything to run under that profile.
The problem occurs when a user tries to run a report that has CGAGNON as User-ID (as seen thru Crystal Reports). A prompt comes up on the IIS to enter the password; unless someone sees the prompt and enters logon info, the user times out and cannot get the report.

Whenever I reboot the IIS,I log on as HCWEB, then I run a Crystal Report accessing data on the AS/400. I get prompted for logon info, and I log on as HCWEB (providing a password). The report runs, and the logon info gets cached on the IIS, so the users should not be prompted when they run reports.
As I said, all works fine until the user tries to run a report showing CGAGNON as User-ID.

If I could get rid of the CGAGNON User-ID from my report, all would work fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
