Re: Crystal Reports works fine with Access, SQL Server, but not Oracle

One tip - look at the SQL statement that Crystal is using - can you copy that statement and execute from the SQLConnect test connection ? I have found that in some of my reports - Crystal behaves a little diff when you use the direct connection vs the ODBC connection. Could not get some of my reports to format the SQL statement correctly for my ODBC connection - had to switch to the "direct" Oracle driver.
