Issue: The Microsoft SQL Server native database driver that Seagate/Crystal Decisions ships with Crystal Reports 7.0.100.6 is defective. Parallel Crystal v2.3, v2.4, v2.5, 2.6, and v2.7 are based on Crystal 7 and have this same driver as part of their installation. Parallel Crystal users should substitute this database driver from Crystal Reports version 7.0.0.44.

Download: P2ssql.dll

Note: According to the Crystal Decisions web site, there is a later Microsoft SQL Server direct database driver. Please do not install or use the later driver with Dynalivery Parallel Crystal v2.x series.
