Inserting subreports

    To create a new subreport, click "Create a subreport" and type a name. If you would like assistance in creating the subreport, click the Report Expert button.

    The program displays an object frame.

  5. Move the frame where you want it to appear in the report and click once to place it.

    If you imported the subreport, the program creates a Subreport Design tab, which is labeled with the subreport name.

    If you are creating a new subreport, the program creates a Subreport Design tab labeled with the subreport name.

  6. Click the Preview tab to see your report.
  7. If you chose the "On-demand subreport" option, click the subreport preview tab to see your subreport.

    This tab is labeled with the name of your subreport.
