Firebird and Crystal Report

In creating a report using Crystal Report with a SQL Server backend, I create a dataset in my project and then bind the report's datasource to the dataset after I drag and drop the SQL Server tables onto the dataset through the server explorer.

My problem is that I cannot accomplish the same with a Firebird db because I can't estalish a connection using the server explorer of the crystal report in VS.Net. Does anyone know how I can establish a connection through the server explorer so I can drag and drop the firebird tables onto the dataset and then bind the dataset to the report?? Greatly appreciate it.

Maybe you should install the firebird .net provider ?

Crystal Report should have some help files where they describe how to connect to other databases

or else use fastreport or freereport from the same page (with source code included)
