LogOnServer Method (Application Object)

The LogOnServer method logs on to an SQL server or other data sources such as ODBC. Once logged on using this method, you will remain logged on until you call LogOffServer Method (Application Object), or until the Application Object, is destroyed and craxdrt.dll is unloaded. This method is only valid if you have purchased Crystal Reports 6.0 or later.

Syntax
Sub LogOnServer (pDllName As String, pServerName As String,
    [pDatabaseName], [pUserID], [pPassword])
Parameters

Parameter Description

pDLLName

Specifies the name of the DLL for the server or password protected non-SQL table you want to log on to, for example "PDSODBC.DLL". Note that the dllName must be enclosed in quotes. DLL names have the following naming convention: PDB*.DLL for standard (non-SQL) databases, PDS*.DLL for SQL/ODBC databases.

pServerName

Specifies the log on name for the server used to create the report. (For ODBC, use the data source name.) This value is case-sensitive. See Remarks below.

[pDatabaseName]

Specifies the name for the database used to create the report. See Remarks below.

[pUserID]

Specifies the User ID number necessary to log on to the server. See Remarks below.

[pPassword]

Specifies the password necessary to log on to the server.

*When you pass an empty string ("") for this parameter, the program uses the value that's already set in the report. If you want to override a value that's already set in the report, use a non-empty string (i.e., "Server A").

Remarks

For parameters pServerName, pDatabaseName, and pUserId, pass an empty string ("") to preserve the existing setting or pass a non-empty string (for example, "Server A") to override a value that is already set in the report.
