Hi, I'm running Crystal 8.5 and need to figure out how to initiate a sub-report that has different headings and even orientation from the calling report.
The parent report is an invoice and the subreport is linked based on the invoice number from the parent. The parent is in landscape, and includes headings appropriate to the invoice such as customer order number, internal order number, product description, dimensions, unit price (sold by weight), weight, extended price...
The subreport merely lists the items that make up the invoice line item, without pricing. There is a one to many relationship between the invoice line item and the subreport list: one invoice line may result from 100 or more items in the subreport list. As the list is substantially longer than the invoice, I'd like to display it in portrait mode, and NOT include all of the headings from the invoice as they are not appropriate to the list.
I can't just create two different reports, as this report is called from a system that we cannot modify: it's not geared to run two reports.
I'm at a loss how to do this. I also considered the idea of "calling" a second report from the first, but I don't see that as a supported option within Crystal.
Thanks for your help.
