From my experience I would say that calling a web service from Crystal Reports is going to lead to headaches. I've not had much luck, and I've read of problems, especially when you have complex types or multiple parameters in the request.

Write a wrapper class to call the web service and collect the data (easy, lots of examples on the web).

Pass the data into Crystal Reports (fairly straightforward, examples on Crystal Reports web site).

Cheers.

5 - This is what I was going to suggest

It helps break down into steps, so you'll know (and can easily debug) any problems with a call to the web service.
