Have you turned on sqlnet client-side connection logging (in sqlnet.ora as I recall) to see if a connection attempt is being made? –David Aldridge Nov 5 '12 at 13:35 hi, you are correct the error is raised by Crystal. I have added the following to my sqlnet.ora file (shown in main question for clarity) but it doesn't create any trace info.

Unknown Database Connector Error Tharpa Roberts asked Aug 2, 2010 | Replies (10) I have a report that's started getting this error. I've spent quite a bit of time searching the internet and trying different things to resolve it. If I can't resolve the error, does that mean that the entire report is just hosed, or is there some way of separating the report from the database connection in order to be able to redo the database connection?

It continued running all this time without issue. - I existed the CR Designer and then came back to it a few minutes later and now if I try to run the report I get the "Unknown Database Connector Error" - If I try to go to the links section it bombs Crystal Reports saying "Crystal Reports Has Stopped Working" - I can go back to the original report without issue. - crystal report In the updated report there are only 2 fields in use from the view I linked in and they are in formula fields. I remarked out the code so now CR shows the fields not used at all. BUT still get the error. So I know it isn't related to a calculation or anything as there isn't anything there. - I removed the forumulas all together off of the form and out of the formula fields and STILL get same issue. database connector error - I then tried to remove the added view via the Database export and when you remove it it bombs CR again when you click OK... same as when you go into the links section. - The only other changes to the report was related making the right margin smaller and moving the fields over to the right a bit... but can't imagine moving the existing fields slightly would be the cause. So... thoughts? Is there any tool that can reach into the CR file and allow you to remove the view manually possibly circumventing the failure. Just trying to avoid messing with the whole thing again and repositioning all those fields.

The only thing I can think of is there was corruption as everything looks identical between the two if you export the report definition.
