Crystal Report seeing database, but not pulling data

[artyk]

Hi, everyone. I asked this question over in the Crystal Reports forum, but didn't get an answer, so I'm hoping someone over in this forum has had a similar experience working with CR in VS. I have created a pretty simple report for use with my VS05 app. It pulls from 2 tables (ID and name from one, and specialty from another). I went through the wizard and navigated to my data source. It picked up the tables and even the data types fine, but when I tried to "browse" the data within the wizard there was no data. Then when I preview the report or actually call it in my app I get some stock dummy data that matches the data types, but is not actually from my tables. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure it is dummy data just to show a fully formatted report, but I can't figure out why it can't find my data. Thanks in advance.

This must be a very unique problem. I know there has to be something I'm missing, but I don't even know where to start.

What is the best way to set up a Crystal Report from anyone's experience? I've been using the wizard, but is there a better way?

Since no one seems to know quite what I'm doing wrong, or not doing at all, is there a good tutorial that anyone knows of for CR in .NET? I looked at the Microsoft CR guide, but it didn't help much with the problem I'm having. Thanks.
