This may sound silly but, have you tried adding it rhigt clicking on a free space of your toolbar and choosing "components..." ?

'If you can add referencesa, you can use Crystal via code.
'You can instantiate it through a variable after have added
'a reference to object
'ie:
private myCryst as Crystal... 'sorry do not have it installed here
'to know exactly what, you may follow
'what appera in tooltip help after you
'digit a space after "as" keyword
'and then:

set myCryst = new Crystal...
....

'However, it is pretty strange you do not see the Ocx for Crystal
'after installed it...
'You may try, after right clicking in a free zone of toolbar, to use the
'"browse" button and look for some ocx which name starts with "Cry" in your
'system directory. It may also be that installation did not put it in correct
'(common) folders. So you may have to search for it, and in the case, better
'use the "search" option of Os (Start->Find).
'It is worth a try...
'Hope this may help,
'Cesare Imperiali

I did as you show, but I can not find any method to open the file *.rpt.
I do not know why in my computer thses is not have the file Cry*.ocx, I think this is main reason. I will try to find a new version or diffirent disk.
Thanks in any ways
