What DB are you using ? If you're usiung SQL Server then you could use single sign and get the db to authenticate otherwise this is not possible in the report designer software, <br />
<br />
You would need to use a 3rd party viewer that can hold the password or create you're own viewer using ASP, VB, .NET etc.<br />

I have created a report in Crystal Reports the pulls up via "hotspots" in my database software (E2).  Before the report will run the user is prompted for the server password.  Is there a way to save this password somewhere in crystal reports so this prompt does not come up?

Server Password in Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
