Creating ODBC connection

In my project, I have added a database called aspnetdb.mdf and I store all the required information here. Now I want to write a seperate Cryatl Report for my manager, that accesses this database and display required data. This report is not a part of the asp.net project. This is only for my manager. My database is not attached to any server. I just use the attachdb in the coonection string of my project to attach this database. no I want my crystal report to access this database. If I can create an ODBC connection to this database, it will solve my problem. Dows any body know how to access this database from Crystal with or without ODBC?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

i think crystal supports pretty much any type of data source, eg. odbc, oledb, etc.

Is the database SQL Express running on your own computer? I can find the connection string for you if this is the case.
