I have never had the chance to work with Crystal reports, but I have worked with other Active X controls and just wanted to make sure that you registered the Crystal .ocx's. Just in case you don't know, copy the ocx files that you need to a directory on the machine (usually c:\windows\system32 or c:\winnt\system32) and then go to a dos prompt, cd to the directory where the ocx files are, and use the following command:

regsvr32 ocxname.ocx

If it registers correctly, you will get a message affirming such. If you have multiple OCX files, some may have to be registered before the others will, so if you get an error, just move on to the next one you need to register and then go back to the one that gave you the error and try it again at the end. Hope this helps.
