I am relatively new to Python, and found sample code that I have, to some degree, successfully implemented. I am using the RDC and can open a report, but am having difficulties supplying connection data. If anyone else has automated Crystal in Python, either through the RDC or some other method I'd like to hear about your experience. Thanks in advance.

You might not get help specifically using Python with the Report Designer Component (RDC) - it's not something that's tested or supported.But since what you're doing is invoking COM via Python, it might be helpful to look at some working code that uses VBScript (in an ASP page):http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/aspxmps115.zip.aspThe SimpleTableLocation sample shows how to specify connection info.Sincerely,Ted Ueda
