Hi ,

1. Right-click in the embedded Crystal Reports Designer, point to Insert, and click Subreport.
2. Drag the subreport object onto the report.
3. Choose a report in your project, another existing report, or create a new report for the subreport.
4. Choose On-demand Subreport to have the ability to retrieve the data on the subreport when needed. Otherwise, all subreport data will appear with the report.

   Note   Using on-demand subreports will increase the performance of reports that contains subreports.

5. Click the Link tab if you need to link a subreport to the data in the main report.
6. Select the field you want used as a link field in the primary (containing) report from the Available Fields list.
7. Use the field link section (which will appear only if you have selected a link field) to set up the link for each link field:
   • select the field you want linked to the primary report from the Subreport parameter field to use.
   • select the Select data in subreport based on field check box on and select a field from the adjacent drop-down list to organize the subreport data based on a specific field (this is the quick equivalent of using the Select Expert). If nothing is specified here, the subreport will adopt the organization of the primary report.
8. Click OK.

Hi Paul,

If you're trying to 'Insert' a Subreport then follow Rajesh's guide. If you're trying to 'locate' an already inserted Subreport in the Main Report then follow this:

1) Go to View > Report Explorer. The Report Explorer docks to the right side of the Design pane

2) It lists out each section on the report. Keep expanding the sections by clicking the + sign and if there is a Subreport in any of the sections then it should be listed under one of them.

In the insert tab select insert sub report...

You will have to put the sub report in a group footer.
