Fabian,

Not sure how much of this you've been following, but the OLE DB provider simply won't work due to a problem enumerating stored procedures in databases with a significant number of stored procedures. You can turn off "show stored procedures" in Crystal and at least it can open the database. But, when you verify database, it crashes. I have a 3rd parth ADO query tool that also crashes when you try to list the stored procedures.

Microsoft is aware of it and hopefully will get it fixed. For now I'm using Crysta 9 woth ODBC. It works fine as long as you don't try to use the autoincrement integer data type.
