Hi baanlovers,
i can not connected my LN database server, which is using oracle 10g, using ODBC in crystal report xi. I always got message "client networking and component were not found...."
Please advised me how to solve this problem..
thanks and best regards

Have you installed and configured the Oracle 10g Network client on the PC that has Crystal Reports loaded on it? Have you then created and tested the ODBC connector defined for that database?

Hi Gilbert,
where i can found/install that file? or in what CD? Client CD?
Please advise

You should have several CD's that are included in your Oracle 10g pack. One of those should be titled, Oracle Database 10g Client for Microsoft Windows. When you insert it, it should automatically come up and present you with the installation options. If you are not familiar with Oracle network installation and configuration, then you should invest some time and read up on it. I don't know that I could explain it all, and I do not know how your database is set up. Do you have a DBA or someone who set up your database? If so, I would start with them.
