Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the exercise files, part of Crystal Reports 2013 Essential Training.
If you have a premium subscription to the lynda.com online training library, then you have access to the exercise files for this course. I have downloaded the exercise files and put them on my desktop in a folder called Exercise Files. Then within the main Exercise Files folder, I have a set of 12 folders and each one of them corresponds to a chapter in the course. If you want to use any of the files for any specific chapter, just upclick the folder, and the files will be there.
If you don't have a premium subscription, then you can follow along. Or, you can create your own assets.
