Yes,  it is an in house application.  The application only bombs out if
the user does not have crystal installed on their pc and they choose the
report part of the application first.  If they have crystal and using
the same application choose the report first it is fine.  

Viewing the ODBC connection on the crystal report everything looks fine.
That's why I think it must be some sort of .dll or something else that
needs to be on the pc without crystal to allow it to connect to the
iseries without an actual connection first.  It seems like the crystal
report will not connect on its own,  even though the odbc is fine.

It almost sounds like it builds connection at a certain point in the app
and
by going to the report first, the connection isn't being built,
therefore it
bombs out.

Is this a program that is written in house?

Subject: Connecting the iseries thru crystal in a VB app


     We have a VB app that connects to our iseries and displays various
forms of data,   there is also a crystal report that can be selected to
display.   If the user goes to the other parts of the app first the
connection for the iseries is established and the crystal report runs no
problem.   If the user first selects the crystal report the program
bombs out saying the user id is invalid for the connection and shows our
system IP address.   If we look at the ODBC connection the crystal
report uses it uses the system name NOT the IP address.   This process
works fine if the user has crystal installed.     The app is packaged up
with just about every .dll that we can find for it.



Can anyone help or point us in the correct location?



Thanks!
