How to Merge an XML Into Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports provides Visual Basic programmers with an interface to display reports. When you have data located in an XML file, you use the import feature to merge the data onto your Crystal Reports document. Crystal Reports automatically parses the data and displays it on your report template. You use this feature when you do not have a database engine and only have an XML document exported from another system.
