Crystal Reports  

Accessing and Adding Data

In the Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer, you first select the data source that your report will reference. You can use more than one data source in a report.

Next, you choose the database tables you want to use in the report. Crystal Reports can automatically link the tables, or you can specify how you want the tables linked. Database tables are linked so records from one database match related records from another.
