Hi,
I have made a asp.net application which is having a asp.net page showing
crystal report.net on it(using crystal report viewer), and MS Access as back
end.But when i try to view in a browser it is showing logon failed.

I donn't have any password set in my mdb file.

Regards

Very likely, aspnet local windows account (network service on windows 2003)
has no NTFS privileges on mdb file and its folder.
 
That is right .. that is probably what the problem is.

I want to add that Crystal has the bad habit of storing your username
password in the .rpt file itself. A much better way would be to create the
rpt, and then use a strongly typed dataset xsd to generate the fields, and
then bind it with a dataset - that way you don't run into these issues.

Again personal opinion - I feel .rpt based crystal in this way isn't very
well suited to web purposes (unless you spend lotsa $). Check out
datadynamics activereports for instance - cheaper and arguably has some
downsides but still a good (and cheap) product suited for web.
