You da' men! (meaning YOU and Craig Berntson)

I feel indebted to you because you went to much time and effort to help me make my Crystal Reports ODBC to SQL Server Database connection on a VPN connection work, but sadly I did not even get to use your code because I needed to wait and try one more thing before trying your solution.

The customer sent me a CD this morning of his proprietary software that remote workstations (his employees working from home) use. I installed the workstation software on my machine and voila! It fixed my problem. It supplied the missing link for the failed connection.

I will never know what it added that I didn't already have, but I am just elated that it works now. I ran a Crystal Report and refreshed the data and it showed me the current data as of today. No more connection errors.

I really appreciate all your time and effort. I want the world to know how much you and Craig Berntson have helped me over the years in Visual FoxPro and Crystal Reports.

You have gotten through some very challenging software development projects. I could not have done it alone, that's for sure. I think I can handle it from here. I can't wait to knock out these final report snafus and move on.

Take it easy. I will be in touch. Keep up the good work! THANKS SO VERY MUCH! I know you will be rewarded for your helfulness, thoughtfulness, and kindness.
