''Note: this sample report connects to the SQL Server sample Pubs database
''If you have access to SQL server, enter in your values for the ServerName,
''UserID and Password properties to connect. The report included with this

crTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTableLogonInfo.TableName = "authors"
