This document describes the steps to create a Crystal Reports application using PWCT 1.9 Art Documentation software. It involves: 1. Creating a new window with title "Crystal Reports 10 Sample" 2. Adding controls like a button and activeX object to view reports 3. Defining procedures to open a sample report using Crystal Reports OLE automation and assign it to the activeX object for viewing.
