QUESTION:
I installed the Connectivity Kit for Crystal Reports, but when creating a new report I don't see DataFlex files listed and I cannot select them. How can I fix this?

SOLUTION:
If the DataFlex file extensions are not part of your User Default list, you will need to select "All Files" for the "Files of Type:" in the Open dialog.

To have DataFlex extensions as part of your User Default list, you will need to configure Crystal Designer's Options:
- Start Crystal Reports
- Select File | Options
- Select Data Source Defaults tab
- At the "Database File Filter:" form, add ";*.dat;*.int" (without the quotes) to the end of the existing list
- Click OK  -- you should be able to see all .DAT and .INT listed when selecting a file now


Note:
If you don't see DataFlex listed under "Create New Connection" from the Data Source list, refer to Knowledge Base 1856 - PROBLEM: DataFlex is not Displayed in Crystal 9 "New Connection" Tree (see link below).
