weird behavior when using 2 different connections - 1 for application 1 for reports

[TS]

I have 2 sql server databases on 2 different servers, a web app, and a
crystal reports interface. When the app uses 1 database and the reports
datasource points to a different database, both databases on different
servers, the application always comes up, but the report comes back saying
no data.

When i have both the app and reports pointing to the first server or both
pointing to the second server, the reports and application work fine. The
problem is when they don't use the same database. Since the reports work
fine for both databases when both app and report are pointing to same db, I
dont' think it can be the Crystal report since it does work well.

i was thinking it was something to do with either connection or identity or
some factor, maybe since they are on two different servers and some
connectivity issue or something. i'm going to test 2 diff databases on the
same server and see if the problem still persists.

If anyone has any idea, please give me your thoughts, Thanks

Hi TS,

Based on your description, this seems to be a CrystalReport client problem.
Since CrystalReport is not supported by Microsoft. I suggest you try to
contact business objects for more information. Or we can wait to see if
there is any community member who can shed some light on it.

Here is the BusinessObjects support website.
