How to get rid of the Database Login window ?

Hi, I'm a newbie in VB.Net, need some help here. I'm generating a report and view it in a win app, which is in VB.Net. I've specified the database logon info by the following code:

*************************************************
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim crtableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
Dim crConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo()
Dim CrTables As Tables
Dim CrTable As Table
Dim TableCounter
Dim crReportDocument As New cr1()
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "mydb"
.UserID = "myuserid"
.Password = "mypassword"
End With

CrTables = crReportDocument.Database.Tables

For Each CrTable In CrTables
crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
Next

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

End Sub
*****************************************************

It's an Oracle DB and just one table, suppose to be very simple. But whenever the app starts, this "Database Login" window always opens first, asking for server info, db info, user name and password. Actually if I click "Cancel", the report still get generated. So how to get rid of this annoying "Database Login" window?

My second question is, how to automatically send this report to printer? I know in VB6 you just say action=1. Unfortunately this thing doesn't work in .Net any more.

Thanks!Just look through CrystalReport knowledgebase, seems that this is a known issue. Refer to this article:
http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2010461.asp

Is there already a fix for this ?|||Figured this out by carefully reading this article: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2010461.asp

The Form_new method has to be overwritten, adding some customized initialization, where ser/uid/pass can be specified.

**** I just took it for granted to do it in Form_load...

How to get free space

Hi,
SQL2K, Win 2k.
I am trying to acquire space by deleting older records from a table.
When I ran sp_spaceused on a Table A, I got following output
Table A
rows: 145030470
reserved: 139653704 KB
data: 81832616 KB= 78GB
index_size: 23655616 KB = 22.5
unused: 34165472 KB
Afte that I had deleted around 60 million records based on certain criteria.
I thought I will get atleast 30GB free space. But when I checked in EM > task
pad, I only see around 14GB free space.
Is there anyway to get free space from the pages?
Thanks in advance
Chinna.

I am trying to say is, based on the size estimation, there should have been
more than 14GB free space. But I don't see that in the task pad view. Is
there any way to reorganize the pages/db files to get the remaining space?
Thanks in advance

Do you have text or image column? If you do then you will have issues
reclaming all the space.
Did you use truncate option or noturncate option. There is a difference in
the way these work.
