One other thing I see here. Why are you using a DSN? If you supply a DSN to ADO, it will access the data through an ODBC driver, adding overhead that is not needed. You should supply an ADO connection string.

>I made a sample form with the CRViewer object. When I run this simple code, I get a "SERVER HAS NOT YET BEEN OPENNED" error. I checked the state of the connection object... it is ok. I cheched the recordset state and contents... they're all ok. I cheched the SQL server and it is working fine. I've been trying to figure this out for two weeks now and I can't figure out what is wrong... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
