The operative phrase here is, "
later use the data from to create the report." This means that the data needs to be stored some where, usually in a database of some sort. So, regardless of the end result, you need an application that allows users to enter data and store it for later use. This is not a "Crystal" issue. You'll need to find someone who can write this application for you - there is no "off the shelf" third-party tool that will do this for you.
