Updating subreports

In order to maintain the most up-to-date subreports, you may want to re-import a subreport automatically when opening the main report.

Note:    Re-importing is available only for subreports that were created from a report file.

Re-importing not only updates the data, but updates the formatting, grouping, and structure of the subreport if any changes have been made. If you change the report the subreport was originally based on, you can have these changes reflected in the report containing the subreport.

You can either globally specify that all subreports should be re-imported, or set the automatic re-import for an individual subreport.

To globally update subreports when opening a main report
  1. On the File menu, click Options.
  2. In the Options dialog box, click the New Report tab.
  3. Click Re-import Subreports When Opening Reports.
  4. Click OK.

    Any subreport will be updated when its main report is opened and refreshed.

To update a specific subreport when opening a main report
  1. From the Format menu, click Format Subreport.
  2. In the Format Editor dialog box, click the Subreport tab.
  3. Click Re-import when opening.

    The current subreport will be updated when the main report is opened and refreshed.

Manually updating subreport data

You can update your subreport data at any time.

  1. On the Design tab, right-click the subreport.
  2. Click Re-import subreport from the shortcut menu.
  3. Click Yes to update the subreport data.
