TTX File - Data Connection

building reports crystal reports
1

Hi,

We have an existing Crystal Report, which is running file in the Production.

The Reports has a TTX file as a data connection. I can see the file in Notepad and it is nothing but a Field Name and Type.

But I would like to know, how the data is coming to Report. Is there any functions in Crystal Reports to map the TTX file to any DB.

Please help me here.

Thanks,
AJ

Most likely the report is connecting to it via an odbc connection. If you did not set up the connection you should be careful not to undo it when looking at it.

In Crystal, if you go to the ‘Set Datasource Location’ from the Database menu you can look at the properties of the .ttx file, it will tell you the Database Type. If it’s ODBC you most likely have the .ttx file in a folder somewhere with a schema.ini file that defines the column(s).
