In my report, I have 13 subreports. In each subreport I am trying to
capture data from one field, that can have five different values
(critical, serious, moderate, low, informational). Now, I have been
able to capture this data, however I would like to use this to create a
graph in a new subreport, in which my problem lies. When I create a
new subreport, it asks me to choose fields from a database, but the
information that I need was created in Crystal.
So, my question is, when I create this subreport (so I can
create this chart), is there a way to point it back to fields in
Crystal, rather than my database?

That's a tricky question. Charts are designed to work with data fields, not CR variables. That being said, you CAN chart off of formulas, but only first pass formulas (the simple ones that use database fields). If your formula is calculating data as the report runs, then I don't think you can chart off of it because it becomes a second pass formula and charts can't use second pass formulas.
