  <p>I tried the above code. I have one Windows Form and a single Crystal report file (cr.rpt) in my project folder. I'm using Oracle 10G as the database.
  But I'm getting an error saying that "Logon Failed". ([Error Description]Image: <a href="http://pho.to/Zv6t" rel="noreferrer">http://pho.to/Zv6t</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Pls do help.</p>
