    I think using a Crystal Reports Client for building reports is in many ways different than using Crystal in Visual Studio.

    First I would definetely try to learn how to build Crystal Reports in client application. Which is more focused on “building” reports.

    You can find many white papers here: http://www.crystalreports.com/whitepapers/brochures-whitepapers.asp

    In terms of Visual Studio, first you need to gain a good understanding about the Crystal merge modules and especially about how to deply them properly.

    There are a few good posts about this on stackoverflow actually. 🙂

    If I can be of any more assistance just shout.
