Thanks for your reply!

I made the report on a database with all roles and privileges granted, would that be a problem?

The report worked for a couple of days and started to intermittently fail, it doesn't work at all anymore and the database hasn't changed. The schema qualifications have been removed from the table names in CR so that they can be added dynamically by an application modifying the SQL and then exporting the report, the final SQL looks fine. The server contains other databases of the same structure and at first I thought that maybe CR was referring to the wrong table but the table name is correctly qualified, I'm at a loss as to what's wrong.

Also, there a couple of tables in the database that when I add them to the report in CR I get an ODBC 'Driver not capable' error and CR won't link to them. It's always the same tables and it happens when I re-import the database as well, any idea what that could mean?
