Hi Jim,
Not sure if Volution allows direct access, I had a look at their API set and the extra log on info may be this:
var api_url = "http://YourUrl/net/WebService.aspx?
Login=YourEmail@YourDomain.com&
EncryptedPassword=YourPassword&
In the C# example I found this which could be closer to what the values to add are:
<add key="VOLUSION_BASE_API" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/net/WebService.aspx"/>
<add key="VOLUSION_USER" value="YourLogin"/>
<add key="VOLUSION_PASSWORD" value="YourEncryptedPassword"/>
Try it using the Universal WEB Service Connector also.
Looking at their Developer help it appears they only allow extracting data into XML format and then 3rd party applications can use it as a data source.

This may be your only option, of course we don't have access so I can't test or suggest anything else.
And yes, it does appear you need to generate a SQL for your reports. Also appears to be limited to 100 rows of data at a time. Likely to stop users from downloading their entire database which would/could cause performance issues on their server.
So I believe the problem is their is no direct access to the Database, only allowed to run queries which outputs a XML file.
You can report off of XML but how you generate that would be outside of CR.
Look at this link to their site:
https://support.volusion.com/hc/en-us/articles/209098397-GlobalShopex-Integration-With-Volusion-API
I believe the last property is you need to add a query to the connection string, that is likely the EDI_Name= property it's looking for. Which now makes sense, since you can't access the DB directly and browse around the DB you need to pass in the query in the connection string.
So you need to build the query using the tool above and then copy that URL into the connection property for the universal connector.
That's about all I can suggest...
Good luck
Don
