If you do NOT include a username/password, Emerald will try to
connect using a trusted connection. The option "use trusted
connection" just tells Emerlad not to prompt for the blank
username/password. :)
Remember, Emerald does not use ODBC, but printing does.
Therefore, if you have Emerald using a trusted connection, and
ODBC is expecting a username/password (ie, ODBC is NOT configured
for a trusted connection), then Crystal will fail to connect
to your SQL Server. Therefore, you have to make sure that
Emerald and your ODBC connection configuration match in order
for the printing to work correctly.
