We are experimenting with Crystal Reports viewers such as this one:

http://www.thereportviewer.com/

... which can actually re-connect to the data source and re-run a Crystal Reports RPT file with live data.

However when running the report the viewer asks for a password to connect to the data source (in this case SQL Server).

Does Crystal Reports have some way of embedding a connection password into a RPT file to avoid this? Or should I be using a System DSN from the Control Panel/ODBC thing to get around this?

I figure someone else must have had this problem.
