Yeah, but the result set has fields. When I choose my ODBC source in Crystal (ver 7) I see a list of stored procedures in a library, and this is treated just like a table. Crystal will use the appropriate CALL to execute it.

I think you're seeing that because a stored procedure is not a file. I've always needed to use the CALL command to execute a stored procedure via ODBC. You may also need to do it with a Crystal query. I don't remember.


The error message sure looks like it's trying to open a file, not execute a call. Have you tried running an ODBC trace to see what command Crystal is actually sending? Can you execute the stored procedure another way like with MSQuery?
