I agree with everything.
Just to mentionned that I you have Crystal Report Developper Edition,
there's a folder that contains all the ASP exemple.
This is really usefull. Some files don't even need to be modified and are ready to use for your needs.
Also, just be aware that there is an issue about licensing with Crystal 8.5.
The limit is fixed to 5 users.
You can solve this problem by downgrading to version 8.0, wich doesn't count licensing.

My 2 cents...
