Record Selection in Main Report / Subreport Combinations

Posted on Dec 04, 2007 at 07:31 PM 8 Views

I have a main report with a bunch of detail sections each containing multiple subreports. I am using an Access database with multiple tables. How do I control the record selection at the main report level so that individual record selection formulae do not need to be written for each subreport? I would like to use a dynamic pick list to prompt the user for 3 levels of record selection. I am not running Crystal Server, and do not have access to the Business Views features, unless there is a lite version included in CR XI.

Thanks for the help

    I have CR XI,

    right click the subreport, one of the options will be change subreport links, this should allow you to create a link in the subreport, to the main reports parameter, or field

    Also, keep in mind that you only need a sub-report if your table joins are one to many records. If they are = joins then you don't need a sub-report if the tables are linked in Crystal correctly.
