Which version of Crystal Reports you are using?

See if following steps can help you:

1. Start Crystal Reports
2. Select the As a Blank Report option, and then click the OK button.
3. The Database Expert dialog box appears. In the Available Data Sources pane, click the plus sign to the left of the Create New Connection folder to expand it.
4. Double-click the database type that you want (in this case SQL Server)
5. Select the database name.
6. Expand the Tables node, and then double-click the table on which you want to base your report.
7. Select desired number of tables
8. Click the OK button to close Database Expert.
