I'm not sure when the RDC was introduced, but it may have been after Crystal Reports 7.0. Using that version, you need to use CRPE to do the automation. There is a reason the CRPE is pronounced "crappy". It really sucks. It is difficult to use and is not recommended by Business Objects. In addition, that old a version of Crystal Reports may have problems with newer operating systems. My white papers and book do not discuss the CRPE. My recommendation is that you upgrade to the current version, XI.

The article discusses about Intellisense which I am not able to see in my Toos Menu. And Article also talks about Database but I am using table so I am liitle bit confused on how to use that.
