In Sage Accpac ERP, if you design a report using one Database say e.g. “SAMINC” and when you deploy it at clients end where database name is different say “SAMLTD”, then sometimes while executing the custom report through the custom report UI you get a error message “Logon failed” as shown on below screen.

This is because the report still tries to connect to the first database, which it has stored with itself.

To solve this error, you should pass the database connection details to the report at run time, using following code snippet

<Snip>
‘initialise crystal report application object
Set CrxApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
‘setting the report file name with complete path to open the report
Set CrxRep = CrxApp.OpenReport(report path variable)
‘Set your Database object to the Report object’s Database object
Set crxDatabase = CrxRep.Database
‘Set your DatabaseTables object to the Database object’s Tables object
Set crxDatabaseTables = crxDatabase.Tables
‘Loop through all tables in the report.
For Each crxDatabaseTable In crxDatabaseTables
‘delete the existing connection information linked to the report
crxDatabaseTable.ConnectionProperties.DeleteAll
‘set current log on information of the report
crxDatabaseTable.SetLogOnInfo l_str_DBNAME, l_str_DBNAME, l_str_UserID, l_str_Password
‘fill the reports connectionstring buffer with current logon information
crxDatabaseTable.ConnectBufferString = “DSN=” & l_str_DBNAME & “;;User ID=”   & l_str_UserID  & “;;Password=” & l_str_Password & “;;Database=” &   l_str_DBNAME & “;;UseDSNProperties=1”
Next  ‘ For Each crxDatabaseTable In crxDatabaseTables
‘Assign the report
frmReport.CRViewer1.ReportSource = CrxRep
‘Display the report
frmReport.CRViewer1.ViewReport
