Todd,
1. What Version of Crystal Reports Are you using?
2. Is your Server Pervasive Server 2000i, or Pervasive Workstation/Workgroup 2000i?
3. Do you have your ODBC Datasource Setup and is it working Correctly?

Speaking of dummies.  I have a "Crystal Reports 7 for Dummies" book.  If that's the version your using, I'd be happy to lend it to you since its probably hard to find.

There is a good (though BLOODY dry...) manual available from Crystal Decisions. I am assuming you are on Crystal 9.

Tod,
 
Also check Amazon.com. Search "books" for "crystal reports for dummies". This seems to be a more complete selection, and much less expensive than dummies.com

I searched the internet on crystal reports there were some good sources. I found crystal reports.com that offers training courses in my area. There are also a couple of forums. Check it out.

I found a pretty good (and comprehensive) CD training series from CareerAcademy.com.  It is a 7 CD set that takes you from the basics through the complicated utilizing audio/visual teaching methods.  It is the best $550 I have ever spent.
