Sage100 Crystal Report designer preview asking for a password

SOLVED

I'm editing accounts payable checks in crystal reports.  I click on "View" and then "Preview".   It then has a popup that says OLE DB, and then has the following fields:

Server: OURSERVER\SAGE100V2017
User ID: Mas_Reports

Pasword:  *blank

Database:  MAS_XXX

Integrated Securty:  unchecked

I do not know the password, and I am not sure who would know this password?    The previous Sage advisor that setup our Sage is no longer our advisor.   Or, is this something our tech person would know?     Is there a way to reset this password, or would that mess up other stuff?

Thanks.

    You can reset the MAS_Reports password using a Sage utility on the Sage server... but do not change it from within SQL (because that would break printing from within Sage).  Someone with access to the Sage server, and admin SQL permissions, needs to do that.

    However, that should not be necessary unless you need to refresh the field listing.  (Preview will never show anything for work table reports).

    You can make your changes (to a custom form code, not editing the report version in \MAS90\Reports\), save, then test from within Sage 100... all without knowing the password.
