You really can't "convert" from ReportSmith to Crystal. What you do is create new Crystal reports using the ReportSmith reports as the specs.
I don't have a copy of Crystal handy but I think you can do the SQL bit at least 2 ways. One way is in your Crystal report there is a SQL section. Another is there is a separate tool for creating sql queries. You could copy / paste into either.
I would not tell my customers this is a conversion. Too many people would then think it should take a lot less time then doing the reports from scratch. But that is really what you end up doing.
