A.2.4.14 Active Data
Crystal Reports can be used to report off ActiveX data sources, including ActiveX Data Objects (ADO),
Remote Data Objects (RDO), and Data Access Objects (DAO). Reports created off these data sources

Crystal Reports also supports Crystal Data Objects (CDO), which are sets of relational data created at
runtime using Visual Basic arrays.
