<p>You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose &#39;Change Subreport Links&#39; and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that&#39;s what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.</p><p>Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251</p><p>&nbsp;</p>;
