Please explain what you mean by "fill". Give specific examples of your existing database and desired output.

Are you not looking at ANY database at all? You just want to recreate the array in Crystal?
Once you recreate the array, what are you going to do with it?

I do not think you want to use crystal to do this. How big is your array? To do what you are talking about would require the following:
Create a formula and place it in the report header:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Array MyString:=["ABC","XYZ",123"....."LAST Array Element"]
Then create as many detail sections as needed (as many as there are elements in your array) and create a single formula for each one of these sections as follows:
MyString[1]
MyString[2]
...
...
MyString[last element #]
Not very pretty but it will work.
If it were me I would build the database with Access or SQL and let crystal just report on data, which is what Crystal is best at.
