We are in the middle of implementing ECC5/Oracle 10g, and are able to login through SAPGUI but are unable to establish an ODBC connection to use Access or crystal reports for quick data extraction and ad-hoc reporting (user authentication errors0.

Any thoughts on why we are experiencing these problems?

First, read note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions

The normal SAP license doesn´t come with a license to use direct database connections, means, you must not use ODBC to query the database.

If you´d say what you mean with "you´re unable" (error message, user you´re trying to connect with etc.) it may be possible, that we could give a suggestion.

correction: we're connecting to the data backend through R3, and not the database directly.

Ok - but still we're unable to help since you didn't provide enough information.
