Crystal Report Newbie

ok i am a MAJOR newbie here i know nothing about CR, i have a copy of CR 8.5 and have had a play with it. its nice however i have no idea how i am to incorporate it into my application. basically i asking for information from the start. also im not sure if a will be able to "pre create" set *rpt's as in my application the user pulls data from a table or query from the access database, using a filter. for example the user can pull all information from multible tables and queries regarding employee number as filter. traditional i display all the information in a listview, so i may be able to import all the information from the listview to a report (for preview) instead of pulling the data again................ mmmm like i said i am VERY NEW

cheers
