Are there any users here that are familiar with either Visual Studio 2012 or Crystal Reports 2011?

I need some help and I can't find the answers. I tried posting on Stack Overflow, with no response.
I'm using VS 2010. It may be close enough for this purpose. I've never used Crystal Reports.

You could also try the MSDN forums.

Okay, Well I have a report made in Crystal Reports, linked to a ACCDB DB in Access 2010/2013.

Then, I created a Report Application in VS2012 to export the Report to a standalone App, and it works, until it tries to access the Database to update the records, at which point I get a Login Screen. I don't have a Password or a User on the DB, so I don't know what to do here.
Sorry, can't help you, because I haven't used this aspect of VS.
Does the database access work while running the application through VS2012? If so, you could probably just grab the executable from the project folder (project name\bin\debug).

I thought about that, didn't work. It seems like it works better in Debug Mode than Release Mode, but I don't know what that means... I've seen other people have similar issues, but I have not found a fix. SAP (The creators of Crystal Reports) Just told me to go to their forum, which is tiny and did not help...
