Crystal not seeing tables

Okay I have had this happen before, but totally forgot how to fix it.

I have access to a database, but Crystal does not see the data tables, only system tables. I can write a command object and get data back, but again - the tables aren’t listed for the database.

How do I fix this - is this a permission issue with the database?

Thanks@!

One thing to check is File -> Options -> Database tab and see if ‘tables’ and ‘view’ are checked or if it is just system tables.

Yes they are checked, that’s one of the first things I looked at. Incidentally, system tables is not checked. I think it has to do with the ODBC permission as Oracl PL/SQL is only seeing the sys tables as well.

Yet I can write a command object in CR and a direct pl/sql query against the database and get data back.

I have run across this before, but don’t remember how to fix it.

Thanks!
