You can build functions in VB6 or .NET and compile them into a DLL. But unfortunately this isn't possible with MS Access b/c there is no way to link them together.

No, this is a CR.NET book and not a book on how to create DLLs with .NET. You would need a book on how to program for that. Unfortunately, I can't recommend a specific book for that.

If you do a search in the Business Objects KB on "Crystal UFL" and you'll find some information about how to create UFL's (User Function Libraries), which is what you need if you're going to extend Crystal with your own functions.
