It sounds more like a Crystal Reports question than an MSSQL one, but you
may want to try posting in microsoft.public.sqlserver.olap, to see if anyone
there has experience of this.

You may want to capture a trace using the Profiler tool which should show
you what SELECT statements are being passed from Crystal. See BOL on
Profiler. Once you capture the trace you could then run the SELECT
statement(s) in Query Analyzer which may tell you if you are having an issue
with your reporting tool or if your SELECT statements cause errors or
timeouts.|||"Terri" <Terri@.spamaway.com> wrote in message news:<c1jmk1$33q$1@.reader2.nmix.net>...

Profiler probably won't help here - as far as I know, it works with
connections to SQL Server only, not to Analysis Services.
