Noob Question Alert!!

I am tring to connect to our company MS SQL Database with Crystal Report Designer 9.
I have an IT Background so I'm not completely computer illiterate. :D
I have recieved the server the database name from the IT department along with username password access.
However, my old IT instructer hated Crystal Reports and we only touched on it briefly I have forgoten how to connect to the database and view the tables.
should I be using the native SQL OLE DB Connection?
