The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Database Logon Failed (ASP.NET/Crystal Reports XI R 2)

Asked by GrigoryR in Programming for ASP.NET, Crystal Reports Software, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags: VB.NET/ASP.NET/Crystal Reports XI R2, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed. Failed to export the report.

I have a crystal report with several subreports linked to the main report via a parameter, in an asp.net application. Whenever I am trying to convert it behind the scenes into a PDF, it does the job just fine on my local machine. The problem is that it throws a database logon failed exception on the server and I have no idea what else I can do to make it work...

Please, help!
