  I am concerned about having the connection string properties in RDLX files with customers using the End User Report Designer. I looked at this article:

  https://www.grapecity.com/forums/ar-dev/prevent-access-to-oracle-d

  It is a good way for hiding the connection string in the report designer, but it is still stored in the RDLX file. Is there a way to store it encrypted in the RDLX file?

  We do not use a Report Server so the Shared Data Sources are not an option for us. We are using AR12, but could upgrade to AR14 if needed.

  Hello Bill,

  You can use the local shared datasource to achieve your requirements. Please refer to the following link:
  
  https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/AR13/webframe.html#WorkwithLocalSharedDataSource.html

  You can refer to the “Nwind.rdsx” file at the following location to know more about how to create local shared datasource.
