The first question to ask is "What is in your password?"  I do not care
about A through Z, nor 1 through 9: the other characters.  Remedy is not
picky but Crystal tries to parse passwords.

Subject: Remedy ODBC Drivers and 7.1

Has anyone else seen this issue?  When trying to run an embedded Crystal
Report, we got the error:

"An error occurred while generating the Crystal Report: 0x80047e48 -
Logon Failed (ARERR 1904)"

What we discovered is that the AR System ODBC driver existed as a Data
Source but did not have a server name (that is, if you go to Windows
Start/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC), there should be a line
for the AR System ODBC driver...if not, you can add it).  Now, if there
is no AR System ODBC driver listed as a User Data Source, you can still
run the report via a 6.3 User Tool.  The User Data Source is created and
set properly (i.e. with a server name).  However, if you run the report
from a 7.1 User tool, it does NOT create the data source.

As well, on SOME machines, even if the data source is there but there is
no Server Name, you get the error above - on other machines, as long as
the Data Source exists, the report runs even if there is no Server Name.
We can't figure out why, and what is happening.

BMC says that this is "as designed" - that is, each Client Workstation
has to manually set the AR System ODBC driver.  Sigh.
