When editing your Crystal Report, go to the Database Expert. Make sure both tables are selected to be used inside the report. Then click on the Links tab. There you can drag your dept_no from the audit table and drop it over the dept_no in the dept table. This should create a link between them. Now you can put the dept_name in your report and if you've set it up correctly Crystal should handle the joining for you.
