Crystal Reports field question

I am attempting to use Crystal Reports to generate a report for a Windows App with Visual Studio 2005 beta. I want to insert the values for various parameters that are determined through the course of running the app into the report fields. However, reading the documentation seems to imply that you can only use databases as sources for the data in the fields. Is there not a way to take internal data members from the app and put them into the report? Is there an easier way to do what I am trying to do (basically generate a formatted display/printable output by dragging and dropping - i.e. no writing HTML code)?

Thanks,
Don

I've moved this thread over to the Crystal Reports forum.

Thanks!
