    We are using a domain account called LBICrystalReports to attempt to login a LBI Crystal Report. Going into MY REPORTS and editing the Data Settings \ Default User ID, we add the account using the following format for the Default User ID: GCSD\lbicrystalreports. GCSD is our domain. It will not work and the SQL log error shows that the report is attemping to login using SQL Server Authentificaiton even though the account is a domain account. The permission in SQL Server is sufficient for this account and it's setup to use Windows Authentification. Any ideas?

      Layne,

      I dont have the syntax off hand but youre going to have to create an override data source first and then add a value in "Additional Connection Attributes" to indicate that the connection is using a trusted source, i believe. something along the lines of Integrated Security=SSPI. Of coarse this is all assuming an OLE DB connection to SQL Server. Difference versions of SQL Server may require different attributes. this should get you started in the right direction.

      if you dont mind, please post back your successful results.
