I have three tables. The main table and two supporting tables. I need to outer join both of the supporting tables, but crystal will only allow me to outer join one of them at a time without a dll error. Each supporting table has one unique field that matches to the main table.
 
Create a VIEW (Query in MS Access) that does an outer join to the first table. You can then use that VIEW as a table in Crystal and do an outer join to the second table.

Alternatively, do the whole joining business using VIEWs
on the back-end database.

Subreports are also an option, but the VIEW approach is simpler and faster...
