I made two reports in crystal report designer and bounded them to the visual basic project with crystal report control. I was wondering if I should do anything more before making a setup program for that vb application (like compiling the report, for example, or making some references to some crystal report's dll or something). Could anyone help me?
 
It sounds as if you're using the Crystal OCX. If so, by placing the OCX on a VB form, you've done what you need to do (assuming that you have written VB code to run the report).

Using the VB Package and Deployment Wizard, the kit will include the Crystal DLL's that the client PC will need to run the application. The wizard sometimes looks in \windows\system for a particular file when it lives in \windows\crystal, but you can just re-direct it.

When you get near the end of the wizard, remember to add the .RPT files to the kit.
