Hi, I'm a user of Crystal Report ver 8.0. I'm having troubles on connecting Crystal Report with MS Active Directory Service. Could you please help on the followings?

These are the steps that I did in order to access Active Directory Service through Crystal. Could you please verify if they are correct?
i) Open Seagate Crystal Reports, in menu choose 'File', 'New'
ii) In Seagate Crystal Report Gallery, choose Standard Expert
iii) In Standard Report Expert, under 'data' tab and press the ‘database button'
iv) In Data Explorer, scroll down until 'OLE DB' is found, double click 'Make New Connections'
v) In Data Link Properties, under 'Provider' tab, choose 'OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services'
vi) In Data Link Properties, under 'Connections' tab, enter 'server name' for data source, and 'LDAP stream' for location, enter also user id & password. Test connection. If connect succeed, press ‘ok’
v) Enter table name????

My problem is, what should be entered as 'table name'?
I looked through Active Directory and I find nothing related to 'Table' in Active Directory. I tried to enter a 'dummy variable' as table name but then crystal returns me an 'empty error message'. (An error message box with no error message.)

Any of your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
