Answer 1

Crystal XI added hierarchical grouping. You'll find this under the Reports menu. I put together a quick org chart report with n-level depth using this. The database table is like: id name managerId

In the Crystal Report, you select these columns, group by id. Then under "Hierarchical Grouping options" menu under Reports, check off "Group Data Hierarchically", parent Id managerId, and indent appropriately.

The output is like the tree you described in Explorer.
