crystal and Data report are not the same.
The data report is easier to use but is not as sophisticated.
IMHO DataReport is "more strategic". Why? because Crystal is no longer installed automatically with VB. It just resides on the installation CD. You need to install it explicitly.
IMHO that's MS's way to say: use Datareport designer!

As u have replied, can we perform all the methods how we perform in crystal reports.
Please can tell me the steps to create a report in report designer.
How to create a report which can generate dynamic data.
