[AccessD] Problems closing XP

I don't use crystal reports, but I'll take a stab and suggest that you may need
to terminate the instance of crystal reports.

If its embedded, I'm not really sure what you'd need to do, but for called
objects you usually need to do something the following when you close the form:
Set object = nothing

So try
Set CrystalReport3 = nothing
In your form close event, and if that fails you may need to lookup your
documentation on how to close it.
