Author Reporting from Excel

Hi,

I have Crystal reports (v9) running from an ASP.NET application. Those
with a SQLServer datasource work fine, with the following code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
crpt = New crystalreport1

For Each myTable In crpt.Database.Tables
myLogin = myTable.LogOnInfo
myLogin.ConnectionInfo.Password = "password"
myLogin.ConnectionInfo.UserID = "username"
myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myLogin)
Next

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crpt
End Sub


But I now have a report which uses an Excel 2003 xls as it's
datasource. I get the
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed'
error message. I've tried taking the logon code out, and using a blank
username and password but no luck,

Can anyone suggest a solution?

thanks

read the exce file in a dataset and use this dataset for the report like
this:

I followed the pdf through. The jet ole db provider won't work with
excel so I made an Access database and linked it to the excel file, but
I am still getting the same error (log on failed)!

Any further advice?

Thanks,

Niall
