I have a VS2010 project that uses Crystal Reports. The report data source is a strongly typed DataSet with linked (parent-child) DataTables. When I open the Crystal Reports Database Expert I can see my DataSet in the Available Data Sources and move the tables to the Selected Tables list. However, in the Links tab I don't see any tables or table links. This makes it impossible to change a link from inner join to outer join.
The Report designer itself works - I can drop fields into the report. So the DataTables are registered with the report. I just can't change the table link types. I also tried a direct database data source with the same results - t he Links tab remains empty so I don't think it's a DataSet/DataTable issue.
I have tried installing different versions of the SAP VS2010 Crystal Reports tool, from version 13.0.0 to 13.0.15. None have helped. Currently I have version 13.0.15.1840 installed.
The Links tab has worked for me before, months ago. I've just returned to maintain some reports and saw this issue.
I attached screen captures of the Database Expert tabs to show the Data tab, Links tab and the Order Links dialog.
Can someone tell me how I can get the Database Expert Links tab to show my tables and links?
